[F.A.Q.] Big Mac

From questions and answers posted to a public-relations website launched this spring by McDonald's in the United Kingdom, makeupyourownmind.co.uk.

Q. Are your burgers made from cows' eye sockets?
A. No. All McDonald's hamburgers are made from whole cuts of forequarter and flank (similar to the mince you'd buy in the supermarket).

Q. I heard that your burger meat is taken from the vaginas of cows. Can you confirm that this is not true?
A. McDonald's uses only whole cuts of forequarter and flank.

Q. Is there really cow sperm in the burgers?
A. No. All McDonald's hamburgers are made of beef. Nothing else.

Q. If the burgers are 100 percent beef now, what were they before?
A. McDonald's beef burgers have always been 100 percent beef, with nothing added apart from a pinch of salt and pepper after cooking.

Q. Why is it all of your burgers look like they have been sat on?
A. Occasionally buns can look a bit squashed because of the way they have been toasted or the way they're packaged. McDonald's does everything it can to make sure this doesn't happen. If you are not satisfied with the way your burger looks, please return it and ask for another one.

Q. I have read in papers that the staff take a poo in the food, watch people eat it, then go and laugh in their faces. Is this true?
A. This is completely unfounded. McDonald's is unsure which papers have been reporting this and would like to see the source if you still have a copy. Please contact the Customer Services team with any details.
