At McDonald's, we take great care to ensure that what we serve every day is safe, of great quality, and produced responsibly. That means we use 100% real beef patties seasoned with just a pinch of salt and pepper. It means our Egg McMuffin is made with a freshly cracked egg. And, in the U.S., our Filet-O-Fish sandwich is made with 100% whitefish sourced from sustainably managed fisheries. It means we use real buttermilk in our Buttermilk Crispy Chicken and our Chicken McNuggets are made with white meat chicken. Simply put, it means real, quality ingredients and always evolving what matters to you.

We're on a food journey, and our menu shows it. We've evolved everything from when we serve breakfast, to how we cook our beef patties, to the ingredients we use in new and old favorites. We use real butter for our breakfast items and a freshly cracked egg in our Egg McMuffin. In 2018, we announced that all of our seven classic burgers* have no artificial preservatives, no artificial flavors, and no added colors from artificial sources.
