Wrong, only proper cuts of beef used - care to back up your statement?

I worked there for a while and got all the docs etc, we had access to a surprising amount of product and supplier info.

Maybe now, but not too long ago this wasn't the case.

In a statement, McDonald's clarified that it stopped using "select lean beef trimmings" — its preferred term for scrap meat soaked in ammonium hydroxide and ground into a pink meatlike paste — at the beginning of last year.

That's America only. They've never used that process in the UK.

You shouldn't comment on things that you don't know much about.

what shall they use the trimming for then?
scrap them. What a waste of meat. That's not very MSE is it.

As Jreacher mentions that's not what happens in the UK

It's not hard to find out-
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Mac

"The Big Mac is a geographically localized product. In the United States, the Big Mac has 550 kcal (2,300 kJ), 29 grams of fat and 25 grams of protein. In Australia, the burger is slightly smaller with 493 kcal (2,060 kJ) and 26.9 grams of fat, but similar amounts of protein with 25.2 grams,[21] while the Japanese burger tops out the scales at 557 kcal and 30.5 grams of fat. Several Mcdonald's subsidiaries adapt the standard features of the Big Mac (from the USA) to regional requirements."

The recipe will be the same through out the world.
However you will get variations between countries as they will use different bread / burger suppliers.

Plus while you can look at beef and see its VL. Its not 100% exact science. So will get natural variations in kcal contents.

Care to point out where I stated or implied that the process in question was used in the UK?

Maybe you shouldn't comment on posts you don't seem to understand.

As you were responding to a poster who appeared to have worked in a UK McDonald's then I don't see the relevance about posting about a practice that was only used in America and not in the UK.

As the poster said only proper cuts of meat are used to make beef burgers. This has always been the case and your statement was incorrect and slightly stupid.

Don't take it personally as everyone makes mistakes.
