Initially, the burger appeared “rock hard, as hard as a hockey puck”. Condry said: “I could probably smash a window with it.”
In a blog post, McDonald’s has tried to explain the lack of mold or decomposition on the topic since Condry is not the first to try this type of experiment on their food.
In a blog post titled, Response to the myth that McDonald’s burgers do not decompose, the fast-food company explained itself.

They said: “In the right environment, our burgers, like most other foods, could decompose. But, in order to decompose, you need certain conditions – specifically moisture.
“Without sufficient moisture – either in the food itself or the environment – bacteria and mould may not grow and therefore, decomposition is unlikely.”

The company cleared that decomposition of food has nothing to do with chemicals or lack of nutrients. In fact, it is all about moisture content and conditions it's kept in.
Well, we are glad to know about this.
