At McDonald’s, a priority is serving quality and great-tasting menu items to every customer, every visit. Recognizing that each customer has unique needs, especially those with food allergies or dietary considerations when choosing where to eat, McDonald’s is committed to providing comprehensive food information.
To help customers make informed choices about McDonald’s food, especially those managing food allergies, McDonald’s provides the most current ingredient details from their food suppliers. This information covers the nine most common allergens identified by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration: eggs, dairy, wheat, soy, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, and sesame.
However, it’s important to understand that while McDonald’s takes precautions, standard kitchen operations involve shared cooking and preparation areas, equipment, and utensils. This means there is a possibility for McDonald’s food items to come into contact with other food products, including allergens. For customers with food allergies or specific dietary needs, McDonald’s recommends visiting their official website, www.mcdonalds.com, for the most detailed ingredient information. It’s also advised to consult with a doctor for any questions related to personal dietary needs. For direct inquiries about McDonald’s food, customers are encouraged to use the contact forms available on their website.
Percent Daily Values (DV) and RDIs provided are calculated using unrounded values. It’s important to note that Percent Daily Values (DV) are based on a 2,000 calorie diet, and individual daily values may vary depending on calorie needs.
The nutritional information available regarding McDonald’s food is derived from rigorous testing in accredited laboratories, published resources, and data provided directly by McDonald’s suppliers. This information is based on standard product formulations and serving sizes. For fountain beverages, calorie counts are based on standard fill levels plus ice. Customers using self-service fountains in restaurants should refer to posted signs for calorie information without ice.
All nutritional data is based on average values for ingredients and is rounded to comply with current U.S. FDA NLEA regulations. It’s important to be aware that variations in serving sizes, preparation techniques, product testing, supply sources, and regional and seasonal differences can affect the nutritional values of each product. Furthermore, McDonald’s product formulations are subject to periodic changes, and some variation in nutrient content should be expected in purchased products. Beverage sizes may also vary by market.
