According to McDonald's official statements, their 100% pure beef patties contain no fillers, additives, or preservatives, meaning there is no cellulose added to the beef itself. However, the presence of this common food additive in other menu items has led to persistent confusion among consumers.

In 2015, former Mythbusters host Grant Imahara investigated the creation of McDonald's fries, uncovering an ingredient that sparked a long-lasting rumor. This created widespread confusion over whether there is Silly Putty in McDonald's fries, a question that continues to be asked by many concerned consumers.
