What are these? Delicious Digg Reddit Facebook StumbleUpon - 17. Hi, please can you tell me - what is the difference (if any) between the actual burger/fillet used in a Mayo Chicken and a McChicken Sandwich? Thanks!
-
The McChicken Sandwich comes with Sandwich Sauce whilst the Mayo Chicken Sandwich comes with Hellman's Extra Light Mayonnaise. Like all our chicken menu items, both the McChicken Sandwich and the Mayo Chicken sandwich use succulent chicken breast meat. A full list of the ingredients of McDonald's menu items is available in the 'Food' section of www.mcdonalds.co.uk.

-
McDonald's takes environmental responsibilities very seriously and is committed to reducing the amount of waste sent to landfill, through recycling, recovery, design improvements and re-use. Unfortunately recycling customer waste is very difficult in the UK, as paper waste that has food residue is not accepted at recycling facilities, and nor are many types of plastic. So rather than send waste to landfill we work hard to 'recover' as much as possible. For example, waste from 11 McDonald's restaurants in Sheffield and 25 in London is currently being diverted from landfill and sent to an energy-from-waste facility. This project is proving so successful for food-contaminated waste that the company is now looking to expand this project to other parts of the country, where the facilities exist. McDonald's is also currently investigating and trialing various different cleansing /separation techniques in regional areas to determine if waste can be diverted from landfill utilising different technologies other than energy from waste.

I recently went into McDonald's at Washington and Wacker in Chicago-ordered big breakfast from large indoor sign advertising it for $3.09-they wanted to charge me $4.40 or so and wouldn't give it to me for the $3.09-asst mgr took sign down-mgr said no to lesser price-I cancelled order-many other customers agreed with me. I feel I was wronged and left bad taste in my mouth. Help! Thank you . . .

What are these? Delicious Digg Reddit Facebook StumbleUpon - 21. We simply wish to know if and how we can buy full sets of Happy Meal toys and how much they are. As huge fans of How To Train Your Dragon and being unable to get to a McD restaurant often we would love to be able to get all the dragon toys. We have experienced in the past being disappointed with restaurants running out of toys when having made a special trip. Kind regards
-
Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, the How To Train Your Dragon Happy Meal toys are not available to buy as a complete set.

What are these? Delicious Digg Reddit Facebook StumbleUpon - 23. What type of oil is used in chicken and fish sandwich if vegetable is it rapseed or hydrogenated or what? thank you
-
Thank you for your question. All McDonald’s menu items are now cooked in a non-hydrogenated blend of sunflower and rapeseed oil. This means that no hydrogenation takes place (this includes partial hydrogenation). The oil is GM free, and because it is non-hydrogenated there is a reduction in the levels of Trans Fatty Acids (TFAs) to their lowest possible levels - less than two percent (naturally occurring TFAs make it impossible to reach zero percent). The oil has been carefully developed to ensure it does not raise saturated fat content, or change the taste. With regards ethical and sustainable resources the oil blends currently supplied for use in McDonald's UK restaurants and by par fryers do not include palm derivatives in their formulations and therefore sustainable sourcing is not an issue.
