French fries have always been McDonald’s key products, and almost every customer will order a McDonald’s fries. Why are McDonald’s fries popular? What is special points about the potatoes they choose as the material of 薯条生产线?
只使用最高品质的土豆品种
In the McDonald’s quality manual, there are only three kinds of potatoes that can be included in the list of ingredients for 薯条加工线, that is, Shapotti, Polbank and Innovator. After testing, the starch content of these three kinds of potatoes is the most moderate, which can be used as raw material for the French fries production line. The taste is full after making chips. In addition, with ellipse shape and moderate size, the bud eye on the surface is slightly shallower than ordinary potatoes. Thus, the length of the french fries after cutting is more neat without spots.
It takes four generations from potatoes seedlings to enter the French fries processing plant. Therefore, the french fries you tasted at McDonald’s restaurant started to cultivate as early as three years ago. Only after strict control of the seedling selection and breeding process can the potato retain its excellent genes, greatly reducing the risk of pests and diseases.

对土豆进行精确加工
In the 薯条生产线, the processing of potatoes into french fries goes through many steps such as peeling, cutting, blanching, drying, frying, quick freezing, packaging and so on. In line with McDonald’s global uniform quality standards, strict quality management system plays a vital role. McDonald’s conducts regular sampling and third-party certification of french fries. The French fries have fine comparison standards in texture, color, shape and blemishes. French fries that exceed the approved range will eventually not enter the McDonald’s.
