McDonald's Halts Meat Purchases From Firm Over Health and Cruelty Concerns

McDonald's action comes on the heels of the U.S. government suspending purchases of meat which would have gone to the school lunch program.

McDonald's, which has two locations in Waltham, reportedly is suspending meat purchases from a California company after hearing health and animal cruelty concerns.
