McDonalds MD takes to social media to bust allegations of “fake cheese” in burgers
The FDA has suspended the license of a McDonald's outlet in Ahmednagar, prompting the chain to delete the word "cheese" from various items.
The company also introduced innovative menu items, including the Korean Range of Burgers, Sides, and a beverage in March, followed by the MangoBurst range featuring Mango Burst McFlurry with OREO, and Mango Burst McSwirl. (Representative image by Jurij Kenda via Unsplash)
Fast food chain McDonald’s is under the Maharashtra FDA’s scanner for using cheese substitutes in burgers and nuggets, instead of actual cheese. After finding this out, the CAIT is now calling for a nationwide ban on McDonald’s.
Saurabh Kalra, managing director at McDonald’s India (W&S) took to LinkedIn to provide his stance on the matter.
“I am not a regular on LinkedIn but sometimes I do need to make our stance clear
McDonalds like anywhere in the globe will always do what’s best for Quality including the best ingredients and it’s traceability.
We are proud of serving this great products with real good ingredients and our Cheese is Real Cheese made out of milk,” he said.

The FDA has suspended the license of a McDonald's outlet in Ahmednagar, prompting the chain to delete the word "cheese" from various items. The authority is also pushing the chain to extend the corrective action state-wide and even nationally.
The substitutes, allegedly identified in several McDonald's items, typically replace milk or dairy fat with more cost-effective vegetable oil.
