McDonald's to switch to fresh beef in US restaurants

Fast food chain McDonald's has started offering fresh beef in burgers sold at its US restaurants.

McDonald's is looking to improve food quality and ward off competition from premium burger chains.

Burgers containing fresh beef will be sold at most of the chain's 14,000 US restaurants by the end of June.

McDonald's UK business said: "We will watch what happens in the US and see if this innovation is something we should consider in the UK.

"Our patties are made from 100% British and Irish beef with nothing added aside from a little salt and pepper after cooking."

McDonald's UK said that its beef patties were still cooked from frozen in its restaurants using "a process perfected over decades".

McDonald's now precooks their burgers and then freezes them like you would with leftovers. Because of this measure, I refuse buy from them because the food really isn't all the fresh, especially the meat.

If I want heat and serve, I will will go to the grocery store and buy Stoffers or Banquet dinners.

When I worked there as a grillman back in the Eighties we used frozen beef patties that I cooked. The meat even back then really wasn't what I would call meat. It was liquidized and then flash frozen in liquid nitrogen in a mold to form a perfect patty. Pink slime frozen in a mold and then passed off as meat!

Then there will be a lot more fools in there cussing about how long it takes to cook, "dey burger." Since the burgers will be cooked as they are ordered.
