Food Safety
At McDonald’s®, we serve only the food and beverages that meet our stringent food safety standards, and do business only with suppliers who share our commitment. From the field to the front counter, our quality ingredients go through many comprehensive safety and quality inspection checks.
McDonald’s food safety standards meet or, in many cases, exceed government regulations. In our restaurants, there are at least 70 safety checks on beef and chicken every day. In fact, McDonald’s rigorous standards have been used by government agencies as models for their own regulations.
Managers and crew are trained and certified to ensure that food safety and quality procedures are followed. McDonald’s also verifies critical food safety steps and periodically audits all of our restaurants for compliance.
Collaboration with suppliers is a critical part of McDonald's approach to adapting existing resources and developing new technologies that continue to ensure food quality and safety.
No one takes food safety more seriously than we do at McDonald’s.
