McDonald's Supplier Program

Working for a world-famous brand like McDonald's has many benefits but it is vital that suppliers maintain the highest food safety standards. McDonald's has a proud history in Australia dating back to the opening of their first store in 1971.

Today, McDonald's has 970 restaurants around the country, with more than 100,000 employees serving customers every day. Its vision is to be the best quick service restaurant in the world. Supplying into such a large and successful organization, and meeting the rigorous food safety standards can be challenging for some suppliers, but that is where BSI can help. 

McDonald's operates the “Supplier Quality Management System” for approved suppliers. Each Supplier facility must annually verify SQMS compliance (announced and or unannounced audit) via a McDonald’s recognized 3^rd party auditing company such as BSI.

If you are looking to supply products to McDonald's, we can audit against McDonald's own rigorous food safety standards and train your employees in what they need to know to meet McDonald's safety benchmarks. The McDonald's Supplier Program is built around international Standards for food safety. With its extensive experience, we are well placed to work with you, to help you to maintain McDonald's food safety excellence.

The food industry impacts every person on the planet. Though what the world’s population may eat may differ depending on the geography, wealth, age, gender and availability of goods, no other sector plays such a vital role in all of our day-today lives and culture. Economically, food represents 10% of global GDP (valued at US$48 trillion by the World Bank).

But the food sector also faces significant challenges. Each year, food-borne illness makes one in ten people ill and is the cause of death for millions around the world. Population growth projections and an increasing middle class suggest that the demand for food will increase 70% by 2050. And, consumers are increasingly conscious about what goes into their food, how it’s made, its impact on ecosystems and where it comes from.

BSI believes the world deserves food that is safe, sustainable and socially responsible. We support the food sector by developing and publishing standards of best practice, supply chain solutions as well as training and certification to not only the most popular food safety standards, but other business improvement standards that work together to make organizations more resilient.

Working in 172 countries, we pride ourselves on the expertise, integrity and professionalism of our people. Our mission is to help our 80,000 clients, ranging from high-profile global brands to small local companies, survive and prosper in today’s world.
