McDonald's is making a big change to one of the most famous items on its menu: the Quarter Pounder. The company announced Thursday that by the middle of 2018, those burgers would be made with fresh meat, not frozen, prepared right when you order it.
The company has already tested fresh-beef Quarter Pounders at 325 locations in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and also in Tulsa, Oklahoma; they said in a statement that the feedback was "overwhelmingly positive." But the Washington Post notes that the decision might be too little, too late, since customers have been flocking to competitors like Wendy's and Five Guys that never use frozen meat. And that competition played out on social media Thursday.
McDonald's tweeted the news, noting that Quarter Pounders "at the majority of our restaurants" would have fresh beef:
McDonald's told USA Today that this is just the "first step" for the company but wouldn't elaborate on when the chain would add fresh meat to its other products. But the "majority" line might have referred to locations in Alaska and Hawaii, since those states are too far away to get the meat shipped while it's still fresh.
