McDonald’s is changing its burgers to be healthier and tastier

Hell yes to this.

Don’t get us wrong, we love a big juicy Big Mac. And to say the kids love a Happy Meal is an understatement.

Whether it’s a treat for them after they ace a test, or you’re running around all day and it’s the only thing you can grab, it’s safe to say that the whole family enjoy McDonald’s… and now it’s about to get healthier.

Over in the US, the chain restaurant has changed its burgers, introducing fresh beef instead of frozen patties.

A spokesperson for McDonald’s said: “Our patties are made from 100% British and Irish beef with nothing added aside from a little salt and pepper after cooking.”

However, “We will watch what happens in the US and see if this innovation is something we should consider,” bringing over to the UK and Ireland.

Business Insider tasted the fresh pattie and said: “The fresh beef is noticeably juicier than the frozen alternative. This allows for the entire burger to have more depth of flavour.

“The difference is immediately clear after a single bite. The new burger is a marked improvement over the frozen-beef patty.”

A McDonald’s burger that’s juicier and tastier? We’ll certainly have that!
