Big change coming to McDonald’s Quarter Pounder

McDonald’s is changing the way it prepares its Quarter Pounder.

It will soon be made of fresh beef that will be cooked when ordered.

The change to fresh cooking of the Quarter Pounder patty is the latest change made by the fast food giant in recent years including switching to an all-day breakfast business plan and the removal of artificial preservatives and high-fructose corn syrup in several food offerings.

The Quarter Pounder change will be in the majority of restaurants by 2018.
