Thanks to a current McDonald’s manager doing an 'ask me anything' Q&A session on Reddit, we now know what to avoid when making a trip to Macca's.
The anonymous worker was inundated with
questions about the inside secrets of the fast food chain, and in return
he revealed a lot.
He warned to steer clear of the grilled
chicken. As he described, "it's horrible frozen chicken that we defrost
and steam and it's a bit gelatinous." EW. And later on, the manager
reveals where the chicken comes from, saying it "is pre-cooked and
breaded before arriving to us frozen from Thailand."
That's worrying.
The manager also advises that "the items
marketed as 'healthy options' are worse than you'd think. Deep fried
chicken goes into the wraps, the veggie patties are deep fried, and the
salad dressings are filled with rubbish."
It's not all bad news though, as the manager
does have some more positive things to say about the beef "It's 100%
local beef flank and doesn't even use any binders like egg or rusk that
you'd find even in the 'good brands' from the supermarket. The milk is
from 'organic' farms. The breakfast menu uses real free range eggs."
While this is very revealing, it's best to
keep in mind that the manager is most likely from the U.S, so the food
McDonald's serves here in NZ would be very different to that you find at
Macca's in other countries.
