Probably, as there are fast food, so many passions run high about his health hazard. The TV has not once shown to "expose" the transmission, written more than a dozen books and thousands of articles on the subject.

Prints data on the number of calories and convince their innocence wonderful hamburgers. But recently more and more often invited journalists and bloggers on production, so they personally make sure that their buns are the best in the world, and nothing but the cutlets 100% no meat.

1. At this time, we were invited to an Italian company MARR RUSSIA (in the people - Marussia), which produces 100% of all beef patties for McDonald's restaurants in Russia.





MARR RUSSIA - an independent Italian company that supplies a huge variety of products in the fast-food chains, hotels and restaurants Russia.
For McDonald's, they do everything from beef patties for Russian restaurants. Their Today about 251 of them work in almost 25 000 people. The farthest - in Tyumen and all the cities east until "omakdacheny».
The world's largest McDonald's, until recently, was a restaurant on Pushkin in Moscow. Now it is Europe's largest and the most visited in the world out of 118 countries, where there is a fast food giant. In Russia, the day McDuck visited about 900 000 people.
One of the main features of the Russian market - the lack of a franchise to open a restaurant. All caves are directly owned by the company. In most other countries to open McDonald's franchise can be. We have the same management company fears that the level of service may fall, but the quality is difficult to control.
The central office where coming up with recipes, is located in Munich. In Russia, a huge number of McDonald's suppliers, which make them at different factories burgers, buns, sauces, grow vegetables, etc. Marine products are from Norway, potato varieties Santana and Innovator - from Poland (supplying 50 thousand tons per year). All this goes to the restaurant, the ingredients are combined and ... "Free Cash!».
Our excursion to the meat production began with the fact that the representative of the company "Maroussia" said photographing anything - is strictly forbidden. After talks with the director of the company managed to get permission to shoot with the approval of all the pictures.
Safety here as at a nuclear facility. Everywhere people are in suits on the meat itself can be viewed only through the bullet-proof glass, the sights of the laser beams
2. Before entering the production staff removed all the ornaments and put in a special mini-safes.



3. When you think about, now you see the place where the produce makdachnye burgers all over the country, imagine the giant halls with dozens of tapes running with thousands of semi-finished products.
In fact, everything was much more modest than imagined. Everything happens in two main halls. In the first room there are two main installation. One - for the production of meat. For two tapes served meat: the first - fresh, made in Russia, the second - frozen, foreign.



4. The meat of our cows are very thin low-fat (about 8%). Therefore, until the required prescription cutlets 20% fat it is brought foreign, more fat meat. 70% of bull meat and 30% - cows. By the way, precisely because of the lean meat, the South Americans think our hamburgers tasteless. And we believe their burgers too smelly for the opposite reason
Frozen.



5. Proceeding on the two belts, the meat is ground and connected to a homogenous mass in a proportion of 50 \ 50. Here it is waiting for the finished sausage meat inspector.



6. Minced line up and wait until it will be taken to the next machine that make him meatballs.

9. Key words in the production - safety and quality. The temperature of the stuffing "pending" must not rise above a certain temperature. This is followed by a special person with a minimum of a special device.



10.



11. Waiting for his turn, the stuffing is loaded into a molding machine that makes two different thickness burgers.



12. ... drum roll! Here they are, burgers for all Russia.



13. Despite the seeming miniaturization of production, with the line every day comes out to about one million meatballs (about 70 tons)! Which fully covers the demand of all the Russian fans of fast food from McDonald's. At night, nothing works, all the equipment is cleaned and checked.
On the production line there are two metal detectors that monitor, so that the meat is not something horrible.
All burgers pass through freezing and appear in the next room, where they are packing in special boxes.



14. Thick and thin.



15.



16. Specially trained people in spacesuits monitor the process.
There is a decent noise and therefore all of the headphones with the antennas. Rail cars, people in white suits, bright red meat, the antenna on his head - in general, the more a spectacle



17.



18. Boxes for hamburgers served from a separate room.
Other machines all completely packed and sent for shipment.



19.



20. And of course looked into the lab, where ever there is a check meat quality.



21. In general, the process is of course incredibly simple. Salted and pepper the meat already "on the ground". On the assurances of employees McDonald's nothing in it is no longer added.
By the way, they told me that in a bun as much sugar as in a piece of cake. This is done in order to form a crust during baking, and there is a need splendor.
If about your thoughts - it always seemed to me it seems so far that McDonald's product contains flavor enhancer, as well as other additives. I think they are in sauces. It may be that they are added to the dough and biscuits. Like it or not - is not known. The companies claim that their products have no flavor enhancers.
The meat we have checked, nothing but 100% beef did not find
