McDonald’s breakfast menu items seem like an attractive option for when you decide to go to a drive-thru for a quick meal on your way to work or simply don’t feel like making yourself a freshly-squeezed glass of OJ and some scrambled eggs.
In a viral video, TikToker and McDonald’s employee Shay revealed that several breakfast menu items are pre-made instead of served fresh

On Sep. 19, The 20-year-oldMcDonald’s workerrevealed that there’s nothing fresh about everyone’s favorite breakfast food.
“Things that McDonald’s won’t tell y’all — y’all be getting folded eggs that come already made,” she said while opening up a box containing the pre-prepared eggs wrapped in plastic packaging.

The most shocking revelation was perhaps the white bags full of pre-prepared burrito mix used to make the beloved wraps. As Shay revealed, the food is kept inside a cardboard box labeled “Egg-sausage-vegetable mix for burrito.”
The video, which has garnered over 240,000 views, isn’t the only one to shine a light on the Golden Arches’ questionable food quality. In July, TikTok user@gia2bad, another Mickey D’s employee, showed in a viral clip that the fast-food chain uses a 4-pound bag of sugar to prepare their iced teas.

“If y’all were wondering why the sweet tea is so sweet at McDonald’s,” Gia wrote in the text over the viralvideo, which showed her emptying a large bag of sugar into a bucket of tea and mixing it up.
“Yes, we use a whole bag, sometimes two,” she added in the caption.

The US Food and Drug Administration’s Dietary Guidelines for Americansrecommendsthat added sugars should make up less than 10% of daily calorie intake. “For example, if you consume a 2,000 calorie daily diet, that would be 200 calories or 50 grams of added sugars per day,” the site reads.
According to theofficial McDonald’s site, a large cup of their iced tea contains 40g of added sugars.

While some users in Gia’s video disputed her claims about the popular beverage being so unhealthy, commenting that they use a different recipe at their respective McDonald’s, a former manager of the multinational fast-food franchisesupportedher statement.
“For every four gallons of the red jug, the sweet tea, there was a full four-pound bag ofsugaremptied into it,” ex-employee Nicole Weisler admitted.
“Yes, we use a whole bag, sometimes two,” the employee captioned the video
The clip showed the employee, TikTok user@charlton.a,in the middle of a shift and featured captions that revealed the “drive-thru facts.”
According to the worker, the company hears what customers say before they’re notified that the mic has been turned on. Additionally, drivers are allegedly photographed without their consent to let employees know who gets what order.
