The Günzburg factory is one of the largest of OSI, one of the biggest suppliers of hamburgers for

McDonald's.

OSI is the American company first supplied McDonald's hamburgers. You'll find few factories that are
bigger, and if you do, they'll probably be in the US.

When McDonald's was starting out in Europe, OSI set up in the German village of Günzburg.

The factory isn't officially part of McDonald's, but there are important agreements between the two
companies.

"About 90% of the production of this factory is for McDonald's," said Eunice Koekkoek, a McDonald's
representative.

It's immediately apparent from the smell when you enter the factory that it produces masses of
hamburgers — even the reception area smells of beef.

Cargill is producing hamburger patties for McDonald's restaurants across the West Coast.

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- The next time you enjoy a McDonald's burger, you might just be eating a burger
made in Central California. The Fresno facility is playing a big role in feeding hungry McDonald's
customers. Four million hamburger patties are made a day at Cargill's Fresno plant.

Cargill says the patties are made with 100 percent beef -- from cuts such as the chuck, round, and sirloin.
Inside the plant, the beef is ground, formed and frozen to maintain quality and flavor. It takes 400,000
pounds daily of beef to make the McDonald's burger patties. It takes 30 minutes for beef to go from
grinding to finished pure beef patties that enter the flash freezer.

The plant ships 10 truckloads of McDonald's hamburger patties from Cargill's Fresno plant daily. Those
burgers are cooked and served at McDonald's restaurants in California, Alaska, Hawaii, Nevada, Oregon
and Washington.
The Cargill Fresno plant was started in 2008 to serve McDonald's by providing beef patties to its
restaurants in six western states, but Cargill has been in the beef business in Fresno since 1938. The
Fresno facility employ 160 people. 2015 marks Cargill's 150th anniversary. The company began in rural
Iowa when William Wallace Cargill purchased a grain warehouse in 1865.
