Food, figuratively and literally, IS what we *pun alert* eat, drink, and sleep! 🙂 In all seriousness, good food is important for us ALL – which makes following Food Safety guidelines and Food Safety standards the ultimate protocol.
June 7 is World Food Safety Day making it a great time to talk about the Food Safety guidelines and Food Safety standards we uphold.
Food preparation, transparency, and hygiene checks
We have separate kitchen sections to prepare our Veg and Non-Veg meals. Each station has their own high-quality cooking equipment and counters. Temperatures of the cooking equipment used are maintained so that food is prepared correctly and served, hot and fresh. In fact, you should get our Kitchen Tour!
We use a Daily Product Safety Checklist, followed thrice a day to ensure that the food served to our customers is always safe and fresh. Our workforce is equipped with gloves and caps, in-store. The counter and kitchen staff use antimicrobial hand wash, hourly, to ensure we serve bacteria-free food to our customers. Different towels for different purposes are used – a single towel is used for each round of preparations. 🔴 Red for Non-Veg, 🟢 Green for Veg, and 🔵 Blue for cleaning Non-Food surface areas.
Water filtration and cold storage
We use a robust water filtration system to ensure filtered water is supplied to the drinking-water taps, ice machines, and Coke® machines. McCafé® beverages are made, using filtered water too.
Local ingredients
Our fries are made from high-quality potatoes sourced from Idar in Gujarat. Jalapeños are sourced from Karnataka, tomatoes from Western India, and iceberg lettuce from Tamil Nadu.

McDonald’s menu is routinely reviewed to boost the nutritional value of our dishes. Like your fave McAloo Tikki Burger® with proportions of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats matching those recommended by the National Institute of Nutrition (Hyderabad).
