- 121. How much water is in your beef burger, the chicken burger and the Nuggetts
-
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.

No. All McDonald's hamburgers are made of beef. Nothing else. Just 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 only uses whole cuts of forequarter and flank of 100 percent beef. McDonald's UK source nearly all the meat from farmers in the UK and Ireland. McDonald's has a policy to source the beef locally wherever possible and last year over 16,000 British and Irish farmers supplied us with beef. In times of particularly high demand the company also source from farms in the European Union. All these farms produce to the same industry leading standards, and McDonald's is able to trace exactly which farms our beef comes from, the farmers' names and how the animals were reared.

-
No. McDonald's only uses whole cuts of 100 percent beef forequarter and flank, nothing else. Skilled butchers prepare the beef just as they would in a butcher's shop, taking care to trim the meat to our standards prior to delivery to the company that makes the hamburger patties.

-
McDonald's UK does not have a sandwich that incorporates the Hash Brown or the other ingredients you mentioned. However the breakfast menu has the Hash Brown as an option, and you could try the tasty new Bacon, Egg and Cheese Bagel also from the breakfast menu as a separate sandwich or as part of a meal and create your own unique treat. If you fancy something from the main menu, then why not try something from the new Summer BBQ food range? There is the Big BBQ Burger, the BBQ Chicken Premiere with Bacon or you may be tempted by the delicious Mozzarella Dippers.
