McDonald’s Philippines has announced that it will vaccinate its employees for free after it has confirmed its purchase of up to 100,000 doses of COVID-19 vaccines from Astra Zeneca.

Golden Arches Development Corp. (GADC), McDonald’s Philippines Franchisee stated that half of the vaccines will be donated to the government under the Department of Health (DOH) in accordance with the government’s allocation framework.

The President and Chief Executive Officer of McDonald’s Philippines reiterate that the health and safety of their employees are their top priority.  He further emphasized that it is the company’s responsibility to keep their people safe so as to protect their customers as well.

GADC experienced a net profit decline to P1.0 billion in the first nine months of 2020 from P1.2 billion previously, due to the lockdowns enforced nationwide to curb the spread of COVID-19.  Only 38% of its stores remained operational due to restrictions among dine-in and large gatherings.  Some 95% of stores eventually reopened as restrictions were lifted.

Mouldy Burger King

 

Mouldy Whopper at Burger King causes an uproar.
Yesterday Burger King released a time-lapse video to highlight its recent changes.  This video contains a shot of its flagship Whopper being made and then left to decompose.  The time-lapse clip shows mould growing on the burger over a period of 34 days.

The marketing campaign aims to highlight the brand’s move away from preservatives and artificial ingredients.  Burger King has followed this trend and have now removed preservatives from food sold in their European and select US markets.

Fernando Machado, Restaurant Brands Global Chief Marketing Officer said in the press release, “At Burger King we believe that real food tastes better, that’s why we are working hard to remove preservatives, colours, and flavours from artificial sources from the food we serve in all countries around the world.”
The brand ensures customers that they can’t buy a Mouldy Whopper at Burger King.

This move reflects a trend in the food industry’s increased focus on sustainability, environmentalism, and transparent production.  Burger King used this trend because it loves to snub or poke fun at the market leader, who is well known for the public doing stunts where their burgers don’t deteriorate over months and even years!

You will recall that Burger King likes to remain edgy and poke fun at their competitor McDonalds whenever they get the chance – Last time out they were burning their competitor’s ads with their app promotion
