More information about Mcdonalds
Since it first began as a barbecue joint in 1940, McDonalds has grown to become arguably the most famous fast food franchise in the world - with 34,000 restaurants worldwide and a global workforce of 1.8 million: it is certainly the largest. 90,000 of its employees are currently working in the UK alone, serving in 1,200 restaurants located up and down the country. McDonalds is not only famous for its food of course, as a company dedicated to providing career progression and community fundraising at a grassroots level, it continues to support local fundraising for community football as well as sponsorship for large events such as the Olympic Games.
With a wide range of outlets in the UK – from large-scale restaurants to drive-thru’s and small operations in retail parks, shopping centres, airport terminals and more – you’re never too far away from a McDonalds. As a result, you’re never too far from a great value meal either! It’s worth looking to see whether there’s an offer or discount code to help you save on your meal, so don’t forget to check before you order.
McDonalds for All the Family!
OK, so McDonald's is definitely fast food, it’s convenient and it’s relatively cheap. But it isn’t as bad as you might think. Over the past few years, it’s really gone out of its way to improve its reputation by running ad campaigns about the quality of its ingredients and adding healthier options to its menu.
For example, the beef they use in their burgers is 100% pure beef taken from the forequarter and flank of the cow, with a little salt and pepper added. There are no nasties added during the processing or cooking which is reassuring, especially if you’re taking the whole family for a treat. Each farm provides farm assured beef and each farmer is signed up to animal welfare assurance schemes such as Red Tractor.
The chicken in their chicken burgers and nuggets is to the same standard. And you might be surprised to know that they only ever use 100% chicken breast meat. So again, the stories you might have heard just aren’t true – no nasties. And similarly for the fish in their fish fingers and Filet o’ Fish. All of the fish they use is sourced from the Marine Stewardship Council certified fisheries. To me and you, that means the fish have been responsibly caught in sustainable fisheries, preserving smaller stocks and only fishing larger fish.
So it’s ticks all round for the meat and fish products, but what about everything else?
Ticks all round there, too. Their potatoes are chosen especially for their ability to create the perfect, long, chip, crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside. Their coffee beans are responsibly sourced from Rainforest Alliance Certified farms. They’re freshly ground in store, making sure they hold in the flavour, giving you a great tasting caffeine hit. And their eggs are always from free range farms in Britain and Ireland that hold the Lion Quality Code of Practice.
McDonald's are also passionate about looking after the environment. Aside from sustainably sourcing their food, they have litter and recycling initiatives too. They have litter patrols around their restaurants every day and make sure that as much food waste and clean packaging is recycled as possible. In fact, McDonald's are working towards a goal of sending absolutely no waste to landfill.
They’re also working to use more renewable energy in their establishments. They’ve switched to energy-saving LED lights and super quick toasters to save even more energy. All staff are trained to use fewer resources too. And they’re committed to reducing water usage and have implemented things like waterless urinals to help cut water waste by around 200 million litres each year.
All these steps are making McDonald's a more ethical and nutritious place to eat. And a Big Mac and fries as a treat every now and again isn’t going to do anyone any harm!
