US fast food giant McDonald's has removed all artificial colours, flavours and preservatives from its range of classic burgers, which includes the Big Mac. Only a single artificial preservative in the pickle will remain. The change will be implemented across the chain's 180,000 US restaurants. It is part of a wider series of measures implemented in response to consumer demand for more sustainable, “cleaner” food. The change could potentially lead to more food safety risk training for employees and a change in inventory strategy.
