McDonald's accused Roskachestvo of violations in the study of burgers

McDonald's responded to Roskachestvo's data on the content of small doses of antibiotics in the company's burgers. The fast-food restaurant chain insists that the reviewing organization made mistakes in its research.

“We carefully studied the documents received from the autonomous non-profit organization Roskachestvo, from which it follows that various violations of GOST R 51447-99 and GOST R 54904-2012 were committed during storage and research,” says McDonald’s in a message received by RBC .

Violations of these GOSTs indicate "the low quality of the study" and the likely receipt of incorrect results by Roskachestvo, the company believes.

Earlier, Roskachestvo published the results of a study of burgers from 11 chain restaurants and found “small doses” of antibiotics in the products of several chains. In particular, the test showed the presence of ternidazole in Big Mac cutlets from the McDonald's network.
