-
Thank you for your question. For most products we have a number of different suppliers, which helps spread risk. Where possible with non-highly perishable products, we store stock in case of a production stoppage or lack of raw material.
The key factor to the success of McDonald's supply chain is that we continually strive to improve our processes, always factor in risk, and produce contingency plans for all our products

-
Thanks for your question. Our suppliers either deliver direct to the three Keystone's distribution centres, or Keystone go to our suppliers to collect finished product. Only Keystone, our distribution supplier delivers products to restaurants, no other suppliers. (March 2011)

-
Thanks for your question. This site has been set up to deal with questions relating to McDonald’s UK so we can’t comment on the US market. McDonald’s does not claim to be one of the biggest sellers of fruit and vegetables in the UK. However you may be interested to know that McDonald’s UK used over 15.8 million heads of lettuce, over 439,000 Kilos of apples, 129 tons of grapes, and 190 tons of carrots in 2010. (February 2011)

What are these? Delicious Digg Reddit Facebook StumbleUpon - 8. I am doing a research about McDonalds in Uk as a response to D&AD brief about your restaurants. Due to this, I've read in your report that 55% of your supplies come from farms in England and Northern Ireland; I would like to know: where do the other 45% come from? Is it true some ingredients come from abroad? Thank you.

Thank you for your question. We have a number of different suppliers for a number of different products. If you could specify which product you would like to know about we would be happy to provide an answer. Some of our products are sourced from outside the UK. In 2010, 55% of our food came from the UK and Ireland, with a spend of over £530 million to our supply chain. (February 2011)
