Ex-McDonald\u2019s chef explains why salads were taken off the menu in 2020 McDonald’sAn ex-McDonald\u2019s chef has drawn the veil back on why the fast food chain discontinued its salad line back in 2020. Ex-McDonald\u2019s chef Mike Haracz took to TikTok to break down why salads were discontinued from the fast food chain back in 2020. The former McDonald\u2019s chef revealed that the reason for doing so was simply due to the fact that salads were a more difficult item to make than burgers. In the new TikTok video, the former McDonald\u2019s chef who claimed to have worked at the company up until 2019 revealed that \u201cthe biggest reason is that salad doesn\u2019t last long and by salad, we are talking about iceberg lettuce, romaine, leafy greens, and things of that nature,\u201d he explained. Haracz then added, \u201cYou can freeze beef, you can refrigerate beef, for shelf-life extension,\u201d he said, also citing the \u201cfragility of lettuce. \u201cThe same trucks that transport beef also transport lettuce. You can\u2019t compound it. You can\u2019t crush it. You have to be very delicate with it, or it gets bruised, and people won\u2019t buy it.\u201d While many assumed that McDonald\u2019s chose to remove salads from their menu due to the global crisis a few years back, it appears that cost and pricing was also a major factor in the decision. Haracz ended the TikTok by further adding, \u201cIf it looks weird, even though it is perfectly fine to eat, people just don\u2019t want to buy it. But with ground meat, you can use a variety of different portions of the animal that are ground so you don\u2019t know what it looks like, you can mix fat content and things of that nature.\u201d TikTok users were quick to comment on the new video, claiming that they \u201cknew\u201d there was a reason for the salad range disappearing from the McDonald\u2019s menu. Another user commented that the removal of salads \u201cmakes so much sense\u201d after Haracz explained the cost and demand breakdown of the item.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
