McDonald’s fans are lovin’ their “magical” seasoning — but what’s in it?
In response to a question asking how McDonald’s flavors their meat, a former corporate chef at the fast-food chain dished on the secret ingredients.
“I am gonna divulge some information for you right now,” Mike Haracz, who worked at the Golden Arches until 2019, said in a TikTok video.
“It is magic, nobody believes me when I tell them about this magic of what goes on the McDonald’s burgers.”
So what exactly is this sorcery?

“There’s literally no other things in it,” Haracz said, adding that it’s 86% salt and 14% pepper.
He explained that this is what’s used on the “tender” burgers, including the cheeseburger, the McDouble, the double cheeseburger, the Big Mac and Quarter Pounders.
Haracz even dramatically suggested that those who don’t believe this should “go sue them, go test them…if you’re so smart and don’t believe me, somebody who is in fact a former McDonald’s employee.”
He said that someone could bring the burger to an independent lab and it would prove to be true.
