On their ingredients page ( https://www.mcdonalds.com/us/en-us/product/hamburger.html https://www.mcdonalds.com/us/en-us/product/hamburger.html ) it says that the patty consists of:
"100% Beef Patty. Ingredients: 100% Pure USDA Inspected Beef; No Fillers, No Extenders. Prepared with Grill Seasoning (Salt, Black Pepper)."
That seems pretty clear to me. USDA defines beef as flesh of cattle. If there is anything but "flesh of cattle" in the patty, McDonald's is committing fraud.
- fucking_tragedy 7y agoUSDA has a pretty wide definition for what constitutes as ground beef[1]: > After a months-long evaluation, the United States Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) determined in December that BPI’s signature product—the offering famously called “pink slime” in an ABC News exposé that got the network in a lot of trouble—can be labeled “ground beef.” Legally speaking, it’s now no different from ordinary hamburger, and could even be sold directly to the public.
