The giant in the field of fast food chains - McDonald's, answered on its website hundreds of rumors about the dubious origin of some ingredients in their food.
The fast food chain has more than once been criticized for the unhealthy menus it offers, as well as for certain products that endanger human health.
After years of silence, McDonald's decided to answer the most asked questions on their website.
The global food chain ensures that the meat offered in their burgers is tested by the USDA and does not contain filters, preservatives, leavening agents and does not use the mixture that the media calls pink fir.
Pink fir is minced beef mixed with ammonia, which McDonald's says it has not used since 2011 due to widespread discontent.
Although according to the food chain, pink pihtia does not pose any danger to the human body, they have removed it from their products in order to comply with the standards of all restaurants around the world.
According to McDonald's, the only thing they add to the meat is a little salt and pepper during roasting.
Most of the meat for burgers is bought from the markets in the USA, but the chain admits that they import meat from both New Zealand and Australia, and the chicken meat is only American production.
McDonald's says it has not used meat from rainforest regions since 1989.
The chain did not fail to explain the content of dimethlypolysiloxane in their chicken meat. McDonald's states that this ingredient is placed in the oil and used against foaming.
The food chain does not deny that the same substance is widely used in cosmetics, but according to them dimethlypolysiloxan has met all standards and requirements to be used in cooking without the food being artificial.
They did not hide from McDonald's that their food contains the substance azodicarbonamide, which is used in the production of yoga mats.
According to them, this ingredient also falls within the norms, as it provides a uniform texture of the whole product.
