McDonald’s meats ‘100% vaccinated’

Tours of outlets allows customers to learn how to prepare their favourite hamburgers and observe what goes on behind the counter. Arcos Dorados, franchisee for McDonald’s throughout the Caribbean and Latin America, said since the OPD was launched locally last year, “visits have exceeded expectation and by the end of 2017, it is estimated that a total of 12,000 visits will be achieved in this country.” The company said an internal survey “identified astonishing data”, including that seven out of ten people did not know about the hand washing process completed by employees and that eight out of ten did not know that about McDonald’s aforementioned meat standards.

“Additionally, nine out of ten people acknowledged that the food safety measures implemented at Mc- Donald’s such as avoiding mixing raw foods with cooked foods are key to disease prevention,” Arcos Dorados said.

Operation supervisor of Arcos Dorados TT, Kalifa Duncan, also shared her thoughts on the OPD in a release issued by the company last Thursday.

“We are very proud of the results of (this) initiative and its exponential growth. In these almost four years, we received more than five million people in our kitchens to show them the dedication with which we prepare each meal, our cleaning procedures and quality standards.

At each visit, we are one step closer to breaking down the myths about our food and showing that we take care of every detail in our operations.”
