McDonald's pushed its doors open to the whole world for the first time when they invited the press into their California food plant. The giant fast food maker has launched a new campaign by inviting the public into their food plant and answering any questions the public may ask them, for the first time in history.
McDonald's has started on a new journey. The journey towards getting back their credibility that has received a beating recently. It has a message which it hopes will reach every single American, "No, our Chicken McNuggets do not contain what some people call 'pink slime' or 'pink goop.'"
Urban myths about the McDonalds foods are everywhere. The claims of pink slime in their chicken nuggets and beef burgers to those of worm food in their beef. Recently, one You Tuber even set a McDonalds fry on fire and smoked it, claiming that it contains harmful substances.
The restaurant chain has finally decided to speak out, "We've heard just about every rumour out there - so have you."
The fast food giant has hired Grant Imahara of TV's Mythbusters, to confirm that their burgers are 100% beef.
A news crew from Good Morning America was allowed inside its Fresno, California food plant to survey the process of grinding the beef. In the video titled, "Is McDonald's beef real?" TV presenter Imahara asks on entry, "Are there lips and eyeballs in there?"
He later asks, "At what point in the process do we inject the pink slime?"
The firm assures McDonalds fans across the world that the Big Tasty, the Quarter Pounder, Cheeseburger and the Big Mac are all mad of 100 percent beef from cows.
The company has even answered the public's questions on Twitter. Questioned on the smoking video on You Tube, McDonald's replied that any food containing oil could ignite under high temperature. Asked why their food never rots, they replied it does, only that it needs moisture in the air to form mold.
