McDonald's has two types of milkshake machines. One pasteurises the milk every night and is taken apart and cleaned once a week. The other one is disassembled and sanitised every night. The milk can be topped up, but is completely discarded every week. This way, McDonald's can ensure its' milkshakes are always safe to drink.
No. Organic milk is still a relatively small industry in the UK and McDonald's simply can't find a supplier that can meet the high volume demands. The company is in talks with the dairy industry about how it can facilitate more farmers switching to organic but, until the organic food supply chain can guarantee that it can supply the required amount, any McFlurry, Sundae or Milkshake will continue to be made from non-organic milk from the British Isles.
Yes - we use whipping cream sourced from UK and Irish farms in the McFlurry and Sundae ice cream and the Milkshakes.
Yes. McDonald's Strawberry Milkshake is now made using a colouring that is a natural beetroot juice concentrate (E162), making it suitable for vegetarians to enjoy.
