“Do you offer any GMO free foods?”

McDonald's Canada

Some of the ingredients used in our menu items may contain GMOs, similar to ingredients found in grocery stores, restaurants and in kitchens all across Canada. It's the decision of independent farmers (who supply our suppliers) whether to use GMO crops and since labeling of GMOs is not required here in Canada, we cannot provide a specific list. What we can tell you is that GMOs used in and for the production of crops and raw materials are approved by federal inspectors as well as Health Canada, and comply with strict regulatory requirements. For more information on GMOs from the Health Canada website, see this section for the definition and this section for regulatory information.
