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

McDonald’s Canada says it will return to sourcing only Canadian beef in September after having to import beef temporarily due to COVID-19.
The fast-food chain said in late April it would import beef from pre-approved suppliers and facilities outside the country due to limited processing capacity at Canadian suppliers.
The news came after an outbreak forced the temporary shutdown of a Cargill processing plant near High River.
McDonald’s says more than 80 per cent of its beef supply continued to come from Canadian sources on average during this time.
