At McDonald’s, a leading name in fast food, we are dedicated to serving quality and great-tasting menu items every time you visit. We recognize that each customer has unique needs, especially when dining out, and this is particularly true for those managing food allergies. As part of our ongoing commitment to customer well-being, McDonald’s provides up-to-date ingredient details sourced directly from our 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. Our goal is to empower guests with food allergies to make well-informed choices when selecting their meals.
It’s important for our customers to be aware that while McDonald’s takes considerable precautions, our kitchens operate with shared cooking and preparation areas, equipment, and utensils. Despite our best efforts to prevent cross-contamination, there is always a possibility for food items to come into contact with other food products, including allergens. For customers with food allergies or specific dietary requirements, we strongly encourage visiting the official McDonald’s website, www.mcdonalds.com, for the most comprehensive ingredient information. We also advise consulting with a doctor orRegistered Dietitian for any personalized dietary advice or concerns. Should you have any specific questions about our food offerings, please do not hesitate to reach out to us directly through our contact forms available on our website.
