- 16. I recently asked what percentage of your patties are meat. You answered by telling me what percentage is beef. I already know what percentage is beef!! But my question was, what percentage is meat, meat, meat!! For the second time, please tell me what percentage of the beef is actually made from meat. Beef implies the animal that it came from. I want to know the percentage of actual meat in this.

McDonald’s beef patties are made from 100% beef MEAT. Beef meat is the only ingredient in the beef patty, apart from a touch of salt and pepper that is added to the patty after cooking.

-
Let’s make things clear. The beef patties used in all McDonald’s burgers are made of 100 per cent beef from whole cuts of forequarter and flank (similar to the mince you'd buy in the supermarket) and nothing else. Whilst a pinch of salt and pepper are added after cooking, this is purely for seasoning, and does not change the fact that the beef patties themselves are made from 100 per cent beef.

-
There is no saw dust contained in any of McDonald’s UK burgers. All McDonald’s beef patties are made from 100 percent beef, made from whole cuts of forequarter and flank (similar to the mince you'd buy in the supermarket). All that's added is a pinch of salt and pepper after cooking.

-
McDonald's food contains nothing that should make a normal, healthy person ill or feel sick in any way and all ingredients that are used are similar to those you would buy in the supermarket or use at home.

-
The beef that McDonald’s uses is 100 percent beef, from cuts of forequarter and flank and therefore, does not contain any water. However, if you are talking about the whole burger, with bun, sauces and cheese, then some of these will contain water as one of the ingredients. For example, the burger bun consists of 30 percent water, the Big Mac sauce consists of 29 percent water, and Chicken McNuggets contain 15 percent water. Full ingredients listings can be found at www.mcdonalds.co.uk in the ‘Eat Smart’ section.

People keep asking how many cows go into one burger and there is the same generic response, like an advertisement. HOW MANY COWS ARE IN ONE BURGER?? Give me a number, NOT A GENERIC RESPONSE. Obviously you are trying to avoid the question by diverting the topic to orange juice.
-
McDonald's is not trying to evade a direct answer and is sorry that you feel that this is the case; the reference to orange juice and milk was simply used for illustrative purposes. Beef is delivered from the approved abattoirs in bulk and will be made up a forequarter and flank cuts from a number of beef animals. Therefore, it is impossible to answer the question precisely. In the same way, if you buy a multi-pack of chicken pieces or a pack of mince in your local supermarket, then these will be sourced from any number of animals and packaged as one. (June 2007)

Delicious Digg Reddit Facebook StumbleUpon - 22. you say that the beef is 100% but you still dont say what is in the burgers. did you know that if you leave one of your burgers out in the open air after half an hour mold starts growing on top. so the real question is what is in your burgers not your beef?
-
McDonald’s beef patties are indeed 100 percent beef. There’s absolutely nothing else added, apart from a pinch of salt and pepper after cooking. Other contents of McDonald’s sandwiches, such as cheese, are detailed online in the ‘Eat Smart’ section of www.mcdonalds.co.uk.
