      Seems there’s a few of you curious about the ingredients of fast food 🙂 /beryn14-zone/2014/11/07/what-are-mc-donalds-chicken-nuggets-made-from/

      As I’m not sure which burger you refer to, they’re all listed here (and you can click through to the ingredients). http://www.mcdonalds.co.uk/ukhome/Food/beef.html

      Assuming it’s the beef patty you’re curious about, it’s just minced beef. They salt them after cooking (not before, you get a gummy texture if you salt your beef before forming patties http://www.mcdonalds.co.uk/ukhome/Food/beef.html ).

      Hi Ashy,

      I am a vegetarian so I can tell you the ingredients for the Spicy Veggie Patty which are as follows: Chickpeas (31%), Batter (Rice Flour, Maize Flour, Maize Starch, Potato Starch, (Stabiliser (Xanthan Gum)), Breadcrumb (Rice Flour, Gram Flour, Maize Starch, Dextrose), Onion (10%), Yellow Split Peas (8%), Potatoes (7%), Vegetable Oil (Sunflower Oil, Rapeseed Oil), Water, Dehydrated Potato, Herbs & Spices (Cumin, Coriander, Garlic, Garlic Powder), Sugar, Salt. Prepared in the restaurants using a non-hydrogenated vegetable oil.
      I am sure others will tell you the ingredients of other burgers. 🙂
