The factory I worked in used steam peelers (raw potatoes go into a steam pressurized vessel. At a certain time and pressure, the steam is quickly released. This quick release draws the potato skin off.) Because of the huge volumes of potatoes used, peel loss is very important part of the process. !% of extra peel loss, for instance, could equate to hundreds of thousands of dollars/year in one factory. But then again, we processed about 800,000,000 lbs of potatoes one year. A stream of air doesn’t remove a defect. After the cutters, the fries go onto a wide belt that, through shaking, orients them all in one direction. Cameras spot defects and signal a particular air nozzle to toss the fry up, where a knife cuts off the defect (quite something to watch!). After defect removal, the fries are blanched, surface dried, par-fried and immediately frozen, bagged, passed through metal detection, boxed, and palletized for shipping. There are no nefarious ingredients added. The only difference between Mac Fries and home fries is in the storage of the raw potatoes. Potatoes grown for Mac Fry contracts are stored about 10 deg F warmer (typically about 48 F) than those stored for table stock. This is to keep the internal sugars to a minimum (when potatoes get chilled, they kind of put gas in the furnace as a self-defence measure. The potato tuber is nothing more than storage for starch and water in case the potato needs to call on reserves if it is stressed. It creates energy in that storage by converting starch to sugar as a fuel). This is why, if you deep fry table stock, the fries will be darker than McDonalds - they have more sugar content. What happens when you cook sugar? It carmelizes and turns dark. The producers that store potatoes for Mac Fries typically have computerized air intakes that regulate the temperature of the storage to within parts of a degree F. Less fluctuations in temperature mean less stress on the tubers which, in turn, keeps the sugar levels low and produces a much more uniformly coloured fry. 369 P B P B 6 months ago (edited) It all looks so natural and healthy. Of course they don't show all the food additives such as preservatives, fillers, emulsifiers, stabilizers, thickeners, flavor enhancers, food colorings... 2.7K barrierloss barrierloss 3 months ago all that goes through my mind when I see this stuff is how incredibly expansive and complex the infrastructure has to be for the volumes of food required to be produced, as well as how insanely wasteful we are as people 311 roux 33 roux 33 3 weeks ago (edited) 8:38 It’s incredible how intelligent people are to create machines like this from nothing but the earths natural resources 23 Linda Terrell Linda Terrell 3 months ago Once upon a time each macDonald’s made their own fries right there in the store. They had a big drum that peeled potatoes. Then fed through another to make the fries. Best I’ve ever eaten. 437 Person Incognito Person Incognito 3 months ago (edited) They missed several steps as to what they put in the food. For instance, the salt and sugar coating they put over the fries to ensure they are crispy after they cook them. 301 Marilyn Taylor Marilyn Taylor 3 months ago that did not explain how a fry can live under your car seat for 11 years. 2.3K Mac Mac 3 months ago I love how the fish made a magical transformation from actual fillets to "large fish blocks" without any explanation.... 758 TheEddieBastard TheEddieBastard 3 months ago First, you take the dinglepop, and you smooth it out with a bunch of schleem. The schleem is then repurposed for later batches. Then you take the dinglebop and push it through the grumbo, where the fleeb is rubbed against it. It's important that the fleeb is rubbed, because the fleeb has all of the fleeb juice. Then a Shlami shows up and he rubs it, and spits on it. Then you cut the fleeb. There's several hizzards in the way. The blaffs rub against the chumbles, and the plubus and grumbo are shaved away. That leaves you with a regular old plumbus! 365 Megapangolin Megapangolin 3 months ago (edited) Very interesting food video, one always wonders how things like this are made. You mention that the buns contain 5% sugar, bread/buns in the UK routinely have 1% sugar, is the amount of sugar in buns lower for the UK? What species of fish are used? How is the cheese made? So many questions... 7 Shlushe 10 Shlushe 10 4 months ago Honestly the scale these factories work at are amazing, would love to go visit one in person 233 Breen Whitman Breen Whitman 3 months ago I am a bit fussy with lettuce. Freshness, texture, and a nice taste. It can be quite variable getting a lettuce from the supermarket. But I have never ever had a bad experience with the lettuce on a macdonalds burger. They really excell on this, and really makes the "lettucy" burgers such as Big Mac. Gotta give them credit for that. Kat Neilsen Kat Neilsen 6 months ago What they don’t tell you about is all the preservatives put in the food. My dad used to deliver the buns, they’d come from one country and get delivered to another. From his experience with delivering them he told me your burger bun could have been made three weeks ago. 237 The Coldest Water The Coldest Water 6 months ago Is it just me, or watching them ingredients go through machine is oddly satisfying 🙈🤣 317 Carolinas SweetTea Carolinas SweetTea 3 months ago As a former McDonalds employee I can say I appreciate all the hard work and dedication possessed! This is a process that I didn't know took place. I always wondered where the beef came from and all the ingredients. I know when I worked at McDonalds last year a McDonald's truck would always come In every Thursday to stock McDonalds up with supplies and food. Buns meat cups all of that. This is one of the most successful businesses ever. Thanks for this video!!!! It was beneficial and informational!! ❣️☝️💛❤️ 11 ej_reyes36 ej_reyes36 1 month ago (edited) 6:00 who else noticed "Tomatoes" look like celeries? Fun fact: A lot of Mcdonald's Fish Fillets are made of catfish edit: Also a tip for next time when you eat at Mcdonald's :>, Ask for fries without salt so that you can get fresh hot fries!! 26 PhantomFilmAustralia PhantomFilmAustralia 6 months ago I see we slipped past the chemical preservatives and additives process, and didn't even touch on the chicken battery farms for the egg McMuffins. Damn! I was looking forward to seeing that. 🙂 445 Ѕқџ Gęṃἱחἱ Ѕқџ Gęṃἱחἱ 3 months ago Haven't eaten that stuff in 2 decades, maybe more. It looks really good where they're making the stuff in the factories, but I don't remember ever ordering anything that looked remotely like this stuff. Although one of the last things I remember eating were the fries and they were always pretty good. 2 William McIelwain William McIelwain 4 months ago (edited) Neat. McDonald's was my first job as a teenager. Very interesting to see what happens before I had to fry the fries. Wasn't a bad job at all. 326 Kevin Luo Kevin Luo 4 months ago I wonder what our ancestors would think of our food being so speedily and perfectly chopped up, drenched in preservatives, tumbled, sorted, and packaged by machines. 296 Thomas Mazur Thomas Mazur 4 months ago I worked for the company that makes the hamburger in OKC back many years ago and aside from the blended mix of lean and fat that are ground there's nothing else in them. Being flash frozen keeps them fresh. I have cleaned their machines too. 51 Stacey Dash Stacey Dash 4 months ago For the first whole minute I thought they were talking about the fries. I said “Dam they really need all that for McDonald’s fries” 😂😂😂😂😂 191 zukodude487987 zukodude487987 3 months ago Whenever i havent eaten there in a long time i got stomach pains when i reintroduced their food back in. It cant be just the things that are advertised. Also no way are you getting buns that silky from just baking the bread. 70 Mar Mar 3 months ago Awesome video about how the fries are made! One thing that I might add, is the contents in that oil. One day I saw a toat that had an ingredient list. It includes gluten, sugar, salt. Meaning that it is not pure plant oil, thus if you are allergic gluten, etc It would be bad. Of course, there are anti splatter ingredients in there too. 2 Blake Grodecki Blake Grodecki 3 months ago Pretty sure the vast majority of fish in McDonald's fish fillet sandwiches are farm raised, not freshly caught. Makes me question which other processes are being glossed over in this vid 24 haruka haruka 5 months ago Burger King: Ah yes, we found McDonald’s secret ingredient! 1.7K Phone Mail Phone Mail 3 months ago (edited) A real fluff piece. : ) Makes the food look almost edible! Nice work, I am sure Ronald is thrilled! 27 Brown Adam Brown Adam 3 months ago Plan on using this to help teach my year 2 students about food manufacturing processes for our next unit. Very nicely done and informative! Thanks for taking the time to show us this. 3 Nerd Musk Nerd Musk 3 months ago 10:38 -- You missed a step. They're actually fried briefly before being frozen. This is an important step for the fries' texture, and why french fries at most fast food places (e.g. In-N-Out) aren't as good as McDonald's. They're missing the very important double fry. 110 Vivid Vince Vivid Vince 6 months ago As an employee what they said is basically true. They didn’t tell u is that literally everything is frozen before going into anything. As for the beef and being 100% fresh is also true but the reason why everything is so bad is because it’s fried (except burgers) also if we are out of something like ice cream we will just say the machine is broken 59 Feng Zheng Feng Zheng 3 months ago the processes of making various foods and drinks are amazing. 2 Elephant Juice Elephant Juice 6 months ago (edited) And after all this science and technology, the staff at my local McD's still manage to give me cold, soggy, dry or overcooked food every single time... Edit: Apparently I need to fix my coordinating conjunctions to satisfy the grammarnazis out there. Have a good day. 201 Dominique Flavigny Dominique Flavigny 4 months ago Je pense que durant toute leur enfance, j'ai dû emmener mes enfants moins de 20 fois à Mac Do ou autres restaurants burger. ILs sont adultes aujourd'hui et parents et je suis heureuse de constater qu'ils suivent l'exemple qu'ils ont reçu :) 2 Skymouth Skymouth 3 months ago I used to work at McD's. I could tell how old the fries are by the minute by just how they looked as they sat in the holding bin 26 FountainMath FountainMath 3 months ago That's how "Bottled Coke" is made. However that isn't how McDonald Coke is served. They have a syrup instead which they add carbonated water at each franchise. 5 Elhanan Hardaway Elhanan Hardaway 3 months ago Mass production is a beautiful thing. All these machinaries, time, and human resouces you need, and it only costs $6 for a Big Mac meal. 16 Helene Zinszner Helene Zinszner 3 months ago Let's be very clear, the beef used in fast food is not 'MEAT' technically, which is skeletal muscles (1.e steaks and roast cuts). The parts used are all the other parts: entrails, interstitial tissues, tendons,. lots of fat,...+ some plant base fillers, like starch (up to 40% in some cases). SO BEEF, OK, but MEAT ' NO! certainly not 'like the one at the supermarket'. 10 Gemstone Gemstone 3 months ago i work at a mcdonalds in new jersey. interesting how some things are different. there's a lot of different bun toasters, ours has a horizontal conveyor for buns instead of top loading. our pickles come in larger tubs with a sealed plastic top, not jars. 3 Ronald Buss Ronald Buss 3 months ago (edited) Everything looks so nice, clean, and healthy, too nice, clean, and healthy in my estimation. Sterilized foods grown on corporate farms has less then 50% of the nutrients it did only a few decades ago, and what about all those harmful chemicals added all through the process of getting it into your mouth? The so-called vegetable oils that everything is fried in isn't much better than Crisco, which is made from cotton seed oil. Cotton seed oil was made to lubricate machinery, not our gut. Just add enough sugar and salt so that everything has some taste to it, and you have a very profitable industry for people who think eating is a waste of their valuable time. 74 Bnick2009 Bnick2009 3 months ago (edited) I love how they skipped past how "cheese" was made 30 MrTanker10a MrTanker10a 3 months ago I have worked at McDonald's for a brief period. What an experience that was. I have always had a hard time dealing with the assembly of the Big Mac. I had to do all the others except the Big Mac because you had to have it in the proper sequence... I still remember the components: TWO ALL BEEF PATTIES, CHEESE, SPECIAL SAUCE, LETTUCE, PICKLES ONION ON A SESAME SEED BUNS... Seden Seden 3 months ago (edited) Well, i still firmly believe the 50% (at least) of ingredients are laboratory products. 13 YokaiByte YokaiByte 3 months ago In Iceland, a museum has the last cheeseburger and fries sold there somewhere around 13 years ago on display. I am sure in this video all the ingredients aren't listed. 1 Sacramento Cheese Hog Sacramento Cheese Hog 4 months ago It’s crazy cause McDonald’s is so unimaginably rich they can make this big video and show all the nice ways and how clean they are but in reality this ain’t what they do 26 Mak Jagger Mak Jagger 3 months ago This has got me craving for McDonalds now and I haven't been there in over 5 years! 4 02roundie 02roundie 3 months ago Now show me how they make the ‘Real’ burgers that they show on their commercials, 😂 64 kreamowheat kreamowheat 3 months ago Im pretty sure the fries are cooked at the factory as well before being sent to the stores. They just get heated back up in the oil at the restaurant. There's a whole hot sugar bath-flash freeze method they use to get the crunchy exterior and mushy interior that are mcdonalds fries. 8 CHITUS💖⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ CHITUS💖⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ 4 months ago Neat.

Media Archives Media Archives 2 weeks ago This looks like a McDonald’s from Heaven. 6 R BA R BA 3 months ago (edited) As a kid I like a burger once in a while. But now, always after a few bites of a MD burger I get stomach aches. Same with their French fries, nuggets and other burgers. Now I've tasted the real pure and non-prefabricated burger ( real burgers made in a real kitchen and no added sugar, dextroses or other chemicals ) I never touched a Mc Donalds product again. It costs a lot and never gives the satisfying and healthy feeling you get from a self prepared meal. Don't get me wrong, now and then a burger? Nothing wrong with that but the Mc Burgers just don't taste like burgers to me. To start with the bread they use. What's that all about? Then the meat, it's just not the same as home made, grilled on a BBQ or eaten at a real proper burgerrestaurant. But for a quick snack on the go, fine. 4 NoFs Given NoFs Given 3 months ago Amazing! Just look at all the engineering that went into building the machines that create the food. And here I thought McNuggets were made of the pink slime. 😂 4 J.B. Stephens J.B. Stephens 4 months ago They left out the part in the fries process where they boil the fries in vinegar water and then blanch them before they freeze them. Probably because they don't want people replicating their fries. 69 Akmal Danial Akmal Danial 3 months ago Ah yes, the beauty of super-scale automated production lines. Can't wait till everything is perfect some decade later lol 49 GOLOCO FAN! GOLOCO FAN! 3 months ago I remember back in the 60s seeing french fries being made at Mcdonalds. Everything tasted much better then. 72 Rick Henderson Rick Henderson 1 day ago Great vid, and sure that the purpose was to praise the quality while recognizing that McDonalds took it to a whole 'nother level with their production processes. That said 💯NEVER eating another one of their products. ✌ rosalee rosalee 3 months ago as a former mcdonalds worker i had always wondered how this process worked 5 Sduolc Epoh Sduolc Epoh 3 months ago (edited) Whoever created those machines is a genius. 1 Laura Ferguson Laura Ferguson 3 months ago "they are thoroughly washed!" (Insert clip of guy spraying lettuce stacked in milk crates) 105 Megan Renee Megan Renee 6 months ago The oven is actually called a toaster I am a fellow McDonalds employee and the bun that they originally said was a Big Mac bun was actually a quarter bun. Hell sometimes the regular buns get steamed in our steamer every time someone orders fish 44 Jamie Jamie 3 months ago Everything looks so natural, I'm sure this is all there is to it 5 Just Mack Just Mack 3 months ago I've been working at Mcdonald's for 5 years and just seeing the process of how everything is made is pretty cool! Also, Mcdonald's is a good job no matter what others may think. I love it there! 29 Solo Mecha Solo Mecha 4 months ago This shows McDonald to be one of the healthiest food ever, we all know that isn't true. When you're omitting information purposefully, you're deceiving the people and we urge you to do better and stand with the people. 61 Jonathan White Jonathan White 3 months ago I can eat a burger I made from ground beef, cooked on my bbq, every day and never feel ill for it. I can eat a big mac once a day for a week, and my guts hate me. That doesn't sound nearly as healthy as this vid made the product sound, lol 6 Ralph Sinamon Ralph Sinamon 4 months ago (edited) I MISS the days when McDonald's cut those huge Idaho or Russetts and you walked around the building and watched the meal get made.....with real potatoes. The oil they used worked beautifully when at the right temperature. Real French-fries use real potatoes! 1 BrokeTheInterweb BrokeTheInterweb 3 months ago Not quite right— at least in the US, McDonald’s fries are fried in the factory (with some beef flavoring and dextrose), then frozen and sent to the restaurant to be fried a second time. I worked at one and if you ate one frozen you could taste the oil lol 1 Andrew Hanson Andrew Hanson 4 months ago (edited) They failed to mention all the salt, msg, sugars and addicting preservatives that are injected into the beef before it reaches the factory. They do it with bacon, they do it with chicken, they do it with beef. And by "they" I mean everyone. 12 H O H O 3 months ago If you make yourself a burger from items you bought at the supermarket.. it would be made almost exactly the same way… from the buns to the minced meat to the ketchup etc. it’s just that Mc Donald’s is the supplier and the restaurant rolled into one. 2 Jason Grinnell Jason Grinnell 3 months ago You forgot to mention the magic spray that keeps your product fresh for 100 years. 17 Jjj Jjj 3 months ago Missed out on a couple of things… the fries definitely go through some sort of processing (like a salt bath and other ingredients). Also, the Coca Cola that goes to fast food restaurants are in a syrup form and the soda part is done by the machine in the shop. I guess this is a “sterilised” version of the food that is made in McDonald’s without showing that perhaps lots of other chemicals and preservatives are added. Also, homogenous crops like the ones shown are destroying the planet in their own special way. 2 K otgc K otgc 3 months ago 7:20 not a fan of the flat bottles, the old round bottles upside down would be perfect, but even right way up was better to splat out the last drops...a real pain clearing out the upside down flat shape ones. Beef and chicken was gross, can't wait until cultured meat is industrial. Lot of improvements on the manufacturing processes and resource usage too, with new 10 year old tech. 35 Christian Hess Christian Hess 3 months ago This actually feels like a commercial for McDonald´s, sure, they care sooo much about high quality ingredients...lmao- 5 Pete ASMR Pete ASMR 6 months ago (edited) In case your watching thinking these are all from US factories. 4:14 French Checklist 4:44 Dubai U.A.E on lettuce package 4:57 McChicken box looks like Arabic. 9:23 Danish Outlets 10:54 Cyrillic Alphabet on package 10:59 International Exit Sign 11:28 Coke in the US uses High Fructose Corn Syrup not Sugar wheres EU Coke and Pepsi use Cane Sugar. 12:24 Coke bottle Embalagem Retornável "Portuguese for Returnable Packaging" And at the bottom it says the channel they got the clips from. Some being the UK, Canada, Arabia, New Zealand and Russia. 20
