Last Updated on January 7, 2021

2. Azodicarbonamide

Almost all McDonald’s-made buns consist of toxic ingredients which are used to enhance the dough’s texture. This company uses azodicarbonamide in all their buns, from the McRib to the sesame bun. This chemical is also a blowing agent for rubbers and plastics as well as a popular food additive, moreover, it can even be found in some tobacco products.

In fact, azodicarbonamide is banned from use in McDonald’s buns in the UK, Australia, and most European countries. What’s more surprising is that using this food additive in Singapore can even result in a 15-year prison sentence and a fine of hundreds of dollars.

3. Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate

Sodium acid pyrophosphate (SAPP) is commonly used as a leavening agent (substance causing expansion of batters and doughs). According to The Center for Science in the Public Interest (CPSI), overconsumption of phosphates can cause dietary imbalances that may lead to osteoporosis.

In fact, SAPP can be found in McDonald’s eggs and tortillas, hash browns, and other products. In its whole form, SAPP can cause serious health problems, such as severe inflammation in case it is ingested, inhaled, or comes in contact with your eyes or skin.

4. Dimethylpolysiloxane

Dimethylpolysiloxane is commonly added to cooking oils. In McDonald’s, it’s used as an anti-foaming agent to cook French fries, Chicken McNuggets, and Filet-o-Fish. Shockingly, you can also find this toxic chemical in hair conditioners, breast implants, lotions and hygiene products, as well as in makeup, nail polish, contact lens solutions, sunscreens, deodorants, and shampoos.

A much healthier alternative would be a homemade recipe for chicken nuggets, French fries, or whatever food you desire. At least you’d ensure that it’s free from toxic ingredients.
