Question: Why do McDonalds burgers have transfat? McDonalds has changed almost their entire menu to get rid of transfats (see http://nutrition.mcdonalds.com/bagamcmeal/nutrition_facts.html). Except their burgers. A chicken sandwich has 0 transfat, but a hamburger does. Why? The only difference between the two is the burger itself versus the chicken. But I thought transfat was only hydrogenated oil, which would not be found in hamburger meat (or any other meat). I called McDonalds and they don't know either.
Answer: Trans fats can be natural or artificial. Small amounts of trans fat occur naturally in beef and dairy foods. Artificial trans fats are made when hydrogen gas reacts with oil. They can be found in cookies, crackers, icing, potato chips, stick margarine and microwave popcorn. About 80 percent of trans fat in American’s diet comes from factory-produce partially hydrogenated vegetable oil.

Question: If food companies display wrong food information and nutrition facts, would they be sued? For example, if McDonalds gets sued for displaying wrong nutrition facts, would they be in trouble and faced the law or recieve any punishment?
Answer: of course!
you know how alot of products say "may contain peanuts" or "processed in same area as peanuts" and other similar ones? its because some people that have severe food allergies need to know what they are putting in their bodies!
Question: How healthy is a yoghurt berry crunch and what are the nutrition facts? i am doing a product similar to the mcdonalds yoghurt berry crunch
Answer: not very healthy. It does have fruit in it, but the yogurt takes out the healthy in the nutrition.
Question: What are the laws regarding restaurants displaying health/nutrition facts on the packaging of the product? I am writing a paper about this and am having trouble finding what I'm looking for. Are there any laws right now that force restaurants (especially fast food) to do this? I noticed that McDonald's already does do it but other companies do not.
Answer: They have to have it available because of food allergies and the like, but they don't have to display it. They figure if you are diabetic you will know not to order death by chocolate, or you'll ask first.
As far as packaging, generally restaurants don't really have packaging, unless you mean the wrapper the big mac comes in?

CHICAGO, Oct. 25 - That Double Quarter Pounder With Cheese? It has 730 calories. A Sausage Biscuit With Egg? It will use up 49 percent of an adult's daily recommended fat intake.
Text of McDonald's News Release (October 25, 2005)
That information and more will be on the packaging of most McDonald's food items starting next year, the company announced at a news conference in a Chicago restaurant Tuesday. The nutrition labeling, which is intended to be even easier to read than the labels on packaged foods, will tell customers how many calories, grams of fat, protein, carbohydrates and sodium are in each product and will include a chart showing the percentage of the government's recommended daily intakes.
Such information is already available to consumers in brochures in McDonald's restaurants and on the company's Web site. But McDonald's executives said Tuesday that they had decided to make it more available and more accessible to customers. "This format makes it easier to understand and to read our nutrition information," said Cathy Kapica, global director of nutrition at McDonald's.
McDonald's said the new packaging would be in 20,000 of its 30,000 restaurants worldwide by the end of 2006.
The move comes as McDonald's, the world's largest restaurant company, continues to face criticism for contributing to rising obesity rates and other health problems.
It has also been sued by customers who claimed they became fat by eating McDonald's foods, although only one case is still pending. In addition, McDonald's was the subject of "Super Size Me," a movie released in 2004 in which the filmmaker Morgan Spurlock chronicled the nutritional dangers of eating too much fast food.
Still, McDonald's approach to labeling represents a significant detour from the approach that nutrition groups and several legislators have been pushing for. Earlier this year, Senator Tom Harkin, an Iowa Democrat who is the ranking minority member on the Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry Committee, introduced a bill that would require all chain restaurants with more than 20 outlets to list calories, fat and sodium on menus and menu boards, not on individual products.
Michael Jacobson, executive director of the Center for Science in the Public Interest, a vocal nutrition group that supports Senator Harkin's bill, said he thought McDonald's new initiative did not go far enough and would ultimately have little impact on consumer health. He said he would like to see calories also listed on the menu boards customers look at when deciding what to order.
"This information on the package is useful, but it doesn't offer people an opportunity to compare products," Mr. Jacobson said. "Having it on the menu board would spur a lot of people to switch to a smaller order of fries, a diet soda, or a regular hamburger instead of a cheeseburger, for instance."
Mr. Jacobson also said that menu labeling would require McDonald's to tell customers before they order that the various combo meals can have as many as 1,000 calories. With McDonald's package labeling, customers have to do the math.
Michael Roberts, McDonald's president and chief operating officer, said the company opposed menu board labeling because it would require restaurants to be constantly updating the board and because it could be confusing for customers.
"It gets complicated when you have different variations of products and seasonal items that you're adding," Mr. Roberts said. "We think this is the simplest way for customers to get this information."
Unlike manufacturers of packaged food sold in grocery stores, restaurants are not required by law to publish any information about their products' ingredients or nutritional components. As Americans spend more money in restaurants and less in grocery stores, nutrition advocates have become concerned that consumers have no way of knowing what they are eating.
While McDonald's said that its new labeling was all about helping the customer, one legal expert noted that it might also help the company on the legal front. McDonald's has been singled out in at least three suits related to obesity and nutrition.
"If they have the information out there, easy to understand and in people's faces, then at that point the burden of responsibility switches to people protecting themselves," said Richard A. Daynard, associate dean at Northeastern University School of Law and head of its Obesity and Law Project at the Public Health Advocacy Institute. "It's a very strong argument and one McDonald's hasn't had until now."
Ralph Alvarez, McDonald's president for North America, said he hoped the new labels would open
Question: On the Nutrition Facts labels, is "Calories from fat" in ADDITION to the Total Calories or part of it? So say a McDonalds Sausage Burrito is 300 calories and 140 Calories from fat. Is that 300 calories total or 300+140 =440 calories total?
Answer: No...the food item in question contains a total of 300 calories.
Of the 300 calories, 140 of them are fat calories, and 160 come from other sources (protein, carbohydrate).
Anything with close to 50% of the caloric content coming from fat is probably avoided in most circumstances, btw.
Question: How many calories are in McDonald's new brownie melts? I can't find it online anywhere! It's not even on McDonald's nutrition facts on their website.
Give me a serious answer please!
Answer: a lot probably, but i can't find the answer online either. guess this calls for a trip to McDonalds!
Question: Whats up with McDonalds nutrional facts? So I'm on their website looking at the nutrional facts, mainly for their salads. Let's assume you order a salad from there (no meat, bacon). Now if you compare the calories the southwest would be a nice choice.. even better the caesar. BUT now what's up with the..
*calories from fat
*fat total (g)
*saturated fat (g)
I see none of them have any trans fat which is good but still.. how does SALAD have any fat. I didn't know veggies store those lol. Now if they do, why does the side salad have none whatsoever??
Could someone explain this to me. My only reasoning is that they added the dressing i unno. :/
You can find what I'm looking at here..

THANKS
Answer: The baked apple pies at mc Donald's are delicious and are ok when eaten in moderation. To tell you the truth, 5g of trans fat is NOT going to kill you, as long as you have plenty of exercise in your life and fruit, veggies and lean meat make up most of your diet. You could try making your won baked apple pies, that way you know whats going in and you know the amount of fat.
BALANCE IS THE KEY TO A GOOD DIET!!!!
Question: Would the manufactors get sued if they display wrong nutrition facts even though they don't have to? Would they get in trouble if for example people in diets eat the wrong food? If the FDA and the USDA is not in charge, what will happen then? wouldn't the same thing go for the fast food companies, like McDonalds?
Answer: They would indeed get in biiig trouble...
