McDonalds Goop™ *note, the video in the first post has NOTHING to do with McDonalds*

Oh really? I also have a mate who works for McDonalds (several actually). And I know quite a bit about them. I tell you what - you name yours and I'll name mine.

The restaurants are franchises. How they are run is down to the individual franchisee. If they want to play with their fry yield, not wear hairnets, clean the toilets with buns or whatever, it's up to them.

The core McDonalds products are actually extremely high quality.

That they are prepared and served up by the people they are is something that McDonalds are trying very hard to do something about. Unfortunately, all the McDegree stories did was put people off applying.

What I think is almost beyond argument is that standards in McDonalds are higher than in most other non-chain fast food establishments.
 
I'll have a few McDonald's in a year and I'll still more than likely have nuggets every time. Everyone already knows how bad the stuff is and nobody is forced to eat it.
 
Thread is misleading and people need to read it first before commenting on it. It is not what is used in McDonalds Nuggets, infact back when they did use the nastier stuff, it tended to look like squished together bits of 'meat' rather than the slurry pictured. It is defiantly the kind you get in really cheap value nuggets from Supermarkets though, as you can tell when you cut it in half that its not really chicken.

BBC's Britain's Really Disgusting Foods also covered the whole Mechanically Reclaimed Meat issue and showed how it works. It's repeated on BBC3 a lot, and probably on iPlayer.
 
I thought that died out in the 90's.

Seems the 'retro' fad not only relates to toys/clothes but attitudes as well. :rolleyes:

Stuff referring to McDonald's food, and more specifically the contents of chicken nuggets. Wasn't all that difficult to understand.

I'm not bashing all McDonalds. He works in a branch in Brighton and he says some things there don't always comply to standards. I don't avoid McDonalds. If I'm peckish and in town I'll grab something from there to fill me up.

I've personally never had a problem with the one I visit locally.

Generally they are of a better standard though.

Looking at the FSA's 'Scores on the Doors' website for the food ratings of all the local fast food places in my area.... and there are a lot of them, the big chains like McDonalds always score highly for safety and confidence in management. Can't say the same for many of the Independents though.

Shockingly, my local Tesco Metro's bakery counter has only a two star rating!
 
Maybe its misleading but KFC got sued for misleading us, they told everyone on TV that their meat is fresh and delivered every day which was BS, dont believe everything you read from the huge companies.

As mentioned higher up in the thread, this comes down to the franchisee and not to McDonalds themselves. The actual products supplied to the stores come from large manufacturers who work to very tight specifications and strict checks on their products and the raw material coming in.

What the store does with it when it gets there is up to them. The people in the store have 0 influence on the production of the product prior to it getting there. They basically just warm it up or fry it.

So you're saying the proof they are flawlessly misleading everyone and committing a large number of crimes by saying the last time they tried they failed and got sued?


But yeah "they mislead us so that makes it fine for us to just make **** up".

In that case it would be fine for us to insinuate you make your own "special" sauce to go on your burgers?
