McDonald’s UK is now using a new non-hydrogenated cooking oil in its restaurants, substantially reducing the levels of Trans Fatty Acids in many of its most popular products.
The new blend of sunflower and rapeseed oil was introduced to all 1214 McDonald’s restaurants across the UK during April, eight months ahead of schedule, as part of a Europe-wide move by McDonald’s to reduce the TFA content of cooking oil in all its restaurants. The new oil has been developed without raising the saturated fat content or altering the taste, which research has shown is important to customers. (June 2007)
FEBRUARY '08 UPDATE: McDonald’s UK now do not use any hydrogenated oil in any food items across the entire menu

-
Filets of the Hoki fish are now used for both the Fish Fingers and the Filet-o-Fish. Hoki has recently replaced cod as a more ecologically sustainable alternative.
NOVEMBER 07 UPDATE:
From mid November 2007, McDonald's Filet-o-Fish will be prepared using Alaskan Pollock fish, which is sourced from Marine Stewardship Council certified fisheries. Fish Fingers will continue to be made from Hoki, also sourced from Marine Stewardship Council certified fisheries.

-
McDonald’s does not have that type of oven in its kitchens. Most food is either fried or grilled. Neither the Fish Fingers nor the Chicken McNuggets cook very well under grill conditions. To ensure that both these products are crispy and piping hot McDonald’s chooses to fry them.

-
Yes, currently Fish Fingers are deep fried as McDonald’s finds that this method of cooking produces the best results and it’s the way many of the customers like them. However, McDonald’s will take note of your suggestion – thank you.
