McDonald’s meat, straight from the OKC
Ed Sanchez, president of Oklahoma City-based Lopez Foods.
Lopez Foods, a longtime provider of meat to McDonald’s, also has been a fixture in Oklahoma City for years. The company produced a video showing the inner workings of its plant. While watching chunks of meat become ground beef isn’t the most appetizing experiences, the place does appear to be very clean — tidier than most McDonald’s stores that I’ve been in.
Lopez Foods also supplies the Canadian bacon that McDonald’s uses in its Egg McMuffins. And here’s how an Egg McMuffin is created. I have to admit that I’ve never tasted one (are the yolks supposed to be broken or not?) The McDonald’s Web site also answers submitted questions about its offerings, including some sarcastic ones. My favorite question: “What is Chicken McNuggets?”
McDonald’s response:
Chicken McNuggets® are made with white meat chicken, lightly coated in a tempura batter to ensure that they are crispy on the outside, and juicy and tender in the inside.
They also address the eternal question of which came first, the Egg McMuffin or the Chicken McNugget? (It was the Egg McMuffin, by 10 years).
