McDonald's does not use horse meat and they never have.
McDonald's has always used 100 percent beef and no horse meat has ever been used or will ever be used in McDonald's Hamburgers.
"McDonald's USA has never used horse meat in their hamburger patties.
McDonald's serves 100 percent pure USDA-inspected beef."
McDonald's gets their beef from numerous farms and ranches that are located in the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
Furthermore, their beef is made from trimmings of sirloin, chuck, and round, which are ground up and then formed into burger patties.
McDonald's buys its beef from ranchers all over the United States, as well as New Zealand, Australia, and Canada.
The fast food giant says that one of those suppliers is Oklahoma City-based Lopez Foods.
McDonald's burgers are made of 100% ground beef, formed into hamburger patties, and then quickly frozen at their suppliers to seal in great fresh flavor.
They also add salt and pepper to their burgers when they are cooked on the grill at their restaurants to bring out all that great beef taste.
