What does McDonalds cook that is actually raw? Everything there is parcooked before it enters the building. The only raw shit McDonalds cooks is its eggs for the mcMuffin.
The systematics of the place are structured to ensure everything "cooks" the same way in the same amount of time. The most dangerous thing at McDonalds is likely the milkshake or cream machine for coffee. If those don't get cleaned well bacteria goes wild.
McDonalda used to be clean until they started being open 24/7. Now they slack with deep cleans and it attract all the bums to come chill and piss all over the place.
Food safety is more about how the food is sourced and handled than how it's cooked. Most people can tell if their chicken wing or hamburger is cooked or not. It's whether it's been sitting under a heat lamp for hours, who touched and what they touched before that, whether it was dropped on the ground, where the meat came from, etc.
And in McDonald's case, in 2014 they were caught using spoiled, improperly handled meat from a factory in China in their stores throughout Asia. Ten people literally went to jail over this.

Again, I've worked in over 10+ restaurants, from hole-in-the-wall family-owned spots to massive corporations to nationally-acclaimed independent restaurants.
The fact that people are afraid of eating at restaurants that look like this...
...over McDonald's and Starbucks because of "food poisoning" is just laughable. It's nothing more than irrational fear and a gravitation towards things that are familiar.
I ate at McDonald's plenty in the Philippines. But it wasn't because they had some kind of mystical commitment to food safety that, say, Bonchon doesn't (it was because they delivered 24 hours).
And all of those places are cheaper and have way better food/coffee than McDonald's and Starbucks, by the way.
