Fast-food giant McDonald’s has reassured its customers about the quality of cheese used in its products amidst a crackdown by the Maharashtra Food & Drugs Administration (FDA) on some of its outlets in the state.

It stated that collaboration with suppliers adhering to global standards ensures the quality of cheese used, with no substitutes or cheese analogues employed.

Westlife Foodworld Limited also underscored its adherence to strict food standards and full compliance with applicable food laws. It affirmed its dedication to transparency in ingredient sourcing and its unwavering commitment to providing customers with delicious, high-quality meals.
