Thank you for your question. The tomatoes are grown depending on the season either in Holland or Spain (although we have other sources as contingencies such as Morocco.) The tomatoes are prepared by our supplier in Wisbech, Cambs; and the Emmental Cheese slices are made by a supplier in Coleraine, Northern Ireland. (January 2011)

But can you list the ingredients in the cheeses/cheese products you use? And also can I have a list of the ingredients in the buns/bread products you use? I can't seem to find this information online, so if you could list them here and not direct me to another site, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you for your enthusiastic support of McDonald's. Unfortunately due to the size of your request, listing out all the ingredients in this box is not feasible. However this information IS easily and readily available at www.mcdonalds.co.uk. It can be found in the 'Ingredients' section under 'Food.' Better still, simply copy and paste the below link into your browser and you will be directed straight to the relevant page:

In The Netherlands the cheddar on Macdonalds-burgers has been researched by the University of Wageningen, and has been found to contain 30% imitation cheese (main ingredient is hydrogenated palm oil). Is the same true for the cheddar You use here in the UK? I asked the same question 6 weeks ago, but didn't receive a reply.
