After a viral video exposed how McDonald’s prepares their onions, customers aren’t so sure about their favorite chain restaurant anymore.
As many know, most fast food ingredients aren’t made fresh. Sure, Wendy’s has “always fresh, never frozen” beef patties. But what about McDonald’s?
Well, according to TikTok foodie Huss, McDonald’s has been exposed for using dehydrated onions instead of fresh onions.
This revelation comes as a surprise to McDonald’s fans, as many have commented on Huss’ viral TikTok explainer by saying they won’t return to the chain restaurant.
McDonald’s worker confirms onion preparation method
Not only did McDonald’s customers get the ick after learning that the company serves dehydrated onions on their burgers, but they were also grossed out by the process of preparing the onions.
To make them, McDonald’s fills a plastic container full of shriveled-up, dried onions. They then add cubes of ice and water.

Before the onions sit for an allotted amount of time, a McDonald’s employee covers them with a lid so they expand into what customers will soon be served on sandwiches like their McDouble and Big Mac.
After McDonald’s fans saw Huss’ TikTok video of the entire preparation process, they commented by saying they wouldn’t be eating there again, “Ok, never again.” And, “Please no.” One person even went as far as saying they tasted like “sh*t.”
However, some disagreed by saying this was one of the “healthiest” options at McDonald’s, as it only consisted of onions and water.
One viewer also admitted to thinking there was a line of McDonald’s employees slicing onions in the back at all times.
While another who works at McDonald’s “100%” confirmed with Huss and his viewers that McDonald’s in the USA makes their onions that way.
