McDonald’s stores are receiving their Safety Seal certifications from their corresponding local government units such as Quezon City and Taguig as a proof of the store’s complying with public health and safety protocols in the fight against COVID-19, allowing diners to experience their favourite food worry-free.
Mayors and LGU officials delivered the seal to McDonald’s Philippines, represented by Managing Director Margot Torres, during ceremonial installations at the QSR giant’s branches. The Safety Seal Certification is a voluntary program that certifies that a business complies with the government’s basic public health criteria and employs or integrates their contact tracking with StaySafe.ph. As of June 29, the certification had been received by 82 McDonald’s locations.

The rest of McDonald’s branches nationwide are in the process of applying for their seal. McDonald’s, with its M Safe program, continues to re-assure its customers of their safety. It starts with ensuring that McDonald’s employees are safe so that their customers can enjoy dine-in, take-out, drive-thru, or McDelivery services safely.
“The Safety Seal is another way to show our commitment to safety, which has always been a part of our operating culture. We will continue to follow protocols across all branches to ensure the best and safest dining experience for our customers and a safe working environment for our crew and managers. We are glad that our M Safe program is aligned with the government’s institutionalized guidelines for public health and safety. We are always ready and willing to work together to create a better normal for everyone,” declares McDonald’s Philippines Managing Director Margot Torres.
Local government units award the government’s Safety Seal to businesses that follow the Inter-Agency Task Force against COVID-19’s (IATF) criteria for enforcing minimal public health requirements in public places. Customers’ screening areas, contact tracing methods, and the provision of handwashing and sanitizing stations are among the measures included in these criteria.
The certification has already been given to 110 McDonald’s locations across the country. Visit https://mcdonalds.com.ph/press-center/when-were-safe-you-are-too/ to see the full list. Customers may anticipate more branches receiving their own Safety Seal in the near future.
