McDonald’s to return to 100% Canadian beef after COVID-19 supply issues

McDonald’s Canada says it will return to sourcing only Canadian beef next month.

In late April, the fast-food chain said it would import beef from outside the country because of issues with Canadian suppliers.

The news came after a COVID-19 outbreak forced the temporary shutdown of a Cargill processing plant in Alberta.

McDonald’s says the majority of its beef supply continued to come from Canadian sources during this time.

McDonald’s Canada started using only Canadian beef in 2003.

It primarily comes from ranches and farms in Alberta and Saskatchewan.
