McDonald’s is glad to hear you have found the brochure informative and helpful. The brochure was designed to cover the core ingredients that make up the primary McDonald’s menu, like beef and chicken, offering comprehensive and straightforward nutritional information on all of its food to help customers make informed choices about what they eat. With regards to bacon, which is used as a breakfast ingredient and as an additional topping on some of our speciality burgers like the Big Tasty with Bacon, all of the bacon that used is from British pigs. The bacon McDonald’s uses is prime cuts of trimmed, cured and sliced pork belly which is pre-cooked by McDonald’s bacon supplier and then heated in the restaurants using a steamer. If you would like any more ingredient or nutritional information about McDonald's food, you can find it in the 'Eat Smart' section of www.mcdonalds.co.uk, or on the reverse of the tray liners in restaurants.

-
No. McDonald’s beef burgers do not contain pork. They are made from 100 percent beef. the only additions being a pinch of salt and pepper added after cooking. Where menu items contain additional meats, these are clearly highlighted, for example, the Bacon Cheeseburger, and these are normally promotional items. Some of the breakfast range also contains pork sausage meat and bacon but, again, this will be clearly labelled.
