No, what they do is they buy used up old dairy cows, or cows that are 'down' meaning they have a serious injury or illness (I know this because I and my family have sold numerous old cows, they are sold for consumption). They mix that low grade meat with lots of fat and artificial flavoring. It's terrible meat that would be impossible to sell as anything other than ground meat with added fat and flavoring.
The USDA mandates that any meat by-products used are disclosed to the consumer, so things like bone or eyeballs would have to be reported.
They may do that overseas for maccas but in Australia are large portion of the "meat" comes form this processing plant at the slaughterhouse I worked at and it was just bone, fat and smidgens of meat. I know what you are talking about using "spent" (sick and depleted) dairy cows for hamburgers they do it here but it is not for maccas just for mince in general.
Yeah what was really disguting was seeing all the workers walk around stop on fat, bones and meat and then put it back on the conveyor belt. Doing construction work at this slaughter house is what sent me Vegan.
Is it normal to HATE mcdonalds?
