McDonald Buns & Handshakes | Things I Learned about McDonald’s Buns

There are few things that come to mind when I think about Baltimore… First comes Old Bay seasoning, then Under Armour workout clothes, and the smell Northeast Food buns I smell while walking around the harbor.

McDonald’s Buns

I have always been a little curious about what happens in the “Wiley Wonka” of bread factory –Northeast Food, and I the finally got the golden ticket to experience what makes them so great and to get the inside scoop on McDonald’s buns.

McDonald’s Health Initiative

In 2013, McDonald’s partnered with the Alliance for a Healthier Generation and the Clinton Global Initiative Commitment to Action to establish a nutrition commitment,  but before this, that established a relationship with Northeast Foods over a simple handshake in 1964 to provide quality and consistent buns for their customers.

I thought that was so interesting! And to this day the relationship between McDonalds and Northeast Foods has still based off a simple handshake deal… No contract.

I felt empowered learning about the process of creating that beloved bun. And, to see an individual’s dedication to going above and beyond. They ensure a quality product for consumption helped drop my guilt for craving the Grilled Chicken Signature Sandwich with Pico Guacamole.

 

Fun Fact: Northeast Food also makes the Chick-Fil-A, Arby’s, and Wendy’s buns.

Thank you McDonalds, Northeast Food and Golin for inviting me out!
