List of McDonald's products

McDonald's beef patties are cooked from frozen, and seasoned with salt and ground pepper. This list is based on core menu items in the United States, with some additions from global and local products. Hamburger The Hamburger (formerly known as the Junior Burger in some countries) consists of a meat patty, ketchup, mustard, dill pickle slices and re-hydrated onions on a toasted bun. In most of the New York City area, it is served without mustard. It is also sold as a cheeseburger, double cheeseburger and triple cheeseburger, all of which have one, two or three slices of cheese respectively. A triple burger and a bacon double cheeseburger are optional items and are not available in all restaurants or markets. The hamburger and cheeseburger are the company's original grilled burger offerings, having been served as part of the 1949 menu. Double Cheeseburger The Double Cheeseburger consists of two ground beef patties, with ketchup, mustard (except in the New York City area), two slices of dill pickle, rehydrated onions, and two pieces of cheese on a toasted bun. The double cheeseburger was offered as a promotional item in the 1950s and was added to the regular menu in 1965, though many McDonald's restaurants did not list it on their menu boards. An official variant is offered in the U.S. state of New Mexico, called the Green Chile Double Cheeseburger, topped with roasted green New Mexico chile peppers. Triple Cheeseburger The Triple Cheeseburger is similar to the Double Cheeseburger, except it contains three burger patties, with a slice of American cheese between each patty, plus ketchup, mustard (except in parts of the New York City area), onion, and dill pickle. Big Mac Introduced in 1967, the Big Mac is a signature product of the restaurant. The Big Mac consists of two (approx. uncooked weight) ground beef patties, special Big Mac sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, and diced onions in a sesame seed bun, with an additional middle bun (called a "club layer") separating the beef patties. The Grand Mac, its bigger-sized counterpart, was added in January 2017, and January 2019 saw the Bacon Big Mac debut. A smaller variant of the Big Mac, the Mac Jr., was also added in 2017. At least seven other variants have been offered. For instance, in January 2024, it announced the reintroduction of the Double Big Mac, which contains four beef patties instead of two, for a limited period on a nationwide basis. The company first offered the sandwich in March 2020. Quarter Pounder The Quarter Pounder is a (originally until 2015) (approx. uncooked weight) ground beef patty with ketchup, mustard, chopped onions, pickle, and two slices of cheese. As with burgers made with the smaller patties, the Quarter Pounder is prepared without mustard in all or a large portion of the New York City region. In some markets unfamiliar with the United States customary units (such as France), it is known as a Royal Cheese, or variants thereof, such as McRoyale. It is also available as the Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese, which includes another patty of the same proportions. In 2013, McDonald's expanded the sandwich into a line with three additional variants to make them smaller versions of the Angus Burgers. It was renamed the Taste-Crafted Burger in 2016 in West Coast markets and later expanded to other U.S. markets in January 2017. The latest addition is the Signature Sriracha, reinstated in July through September and again since January 2018, which was replaced by Sweet Barbecue Bacon in May, before becoming Bacon Smokehouse from June 2018 to June 2019. It has since been replaced by Quarter Pounder with Cheese Bacon in July 2019. A Travis Scott Burger, aka Quarter Pounder BLT in Canada, was added in September 2020. Big N' Tasty Big N' Tasty, introduced in 1997 in California, was a beef patty with ketchup, cheese, mayonnaise with grilled, diced onions, pickles, leaf lettuce, and tomatoes. It was devised to resemble Burger King's Whopper sandwich. The sandwich is also known as the Big Xtra in Slovenia and most of Canada; the McXtra in Quebec, Canada; the McFeast Deluxe in Australia; the Big Tasty (without the 'N') in Brazil, Bulgaria, France, Germany, Italy (without ketchup), Ireland, The Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Sweden and the United Kingdom; the Quarter Pounder Deluxe in South Africa; and the McNifica (a play on Spanish , 'wonderful') in Mexico and Latin America. The Big Tasty configuration is somewhat different, consisting of a third-pound (150 g) beef patty, sesame seed bun, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, Emmental cheese, and Big Tasty sauce (which has a smoke flavor). The Big Tasty Bacon variant also contains strips of bacon. This variant was sold in the US until 2011; it is now sold internationally only. However, the Big N' Tasty is still sold at restaurants located in US army and naval bases, such as the McDonald's restaurant located at the US naval base in Yokusuka, Japan. It has been known as the Quarter Pounder with Cheese Deluxe since July 2019. It also comes with bacon on a Travis Scott Burger since September 2020. McDouble The McDouble is similar to a Double Cheeseburger but with just one slice of cheese. Reintroduced as a permanent dollar-menu item in December 2008, it had been a short-term product in 1997, advertised with "Eddie the Echo". The original McDouble did not have cheese and was garnished with lettuce and tomatoes rather than with pickles and onions in the 2008 version. Bacon McDouble The Bacon McDouble is a sandwich that is similar to the McDouble but has two pieces of applewood smoked bacon added to it. This sandwich was added to the U.S. "Dollar Menu & More" in November 2013. As of June 2025, the item has returned to the menu in the United States. McFeast The McFeast is a hamburger with lettuce, tomato, pickles, and mayonnaise, in most markets from April 1977. The McFeast has been served since the mid-1980s in Sweden and was later introduced to the rest of the Nordic countries; the McFeast in Sweden contains a quarter pounder patty, lettuce, modified mayonnaise with lemon juice, onion, and tomato. In the rest of the countries, the McFeast also contains ketchup, but not in Sweden. The same burger was sold under the name Mega Feast in New Zealand for several years during the 1990s but has since been discontinued. The McFeast Deluxe was sold in Australia until the late 1990s and contained: mustard, ketchup, large onions, McFeast Deluxe sauce, lettuce, a tomato slice, dill pickles, regular cheese, and a quarter pounder patty served in a Quarter Pounder/McChicken Bun. It returned to the Australian menu in 2009 and in August 2011 using the same ingredients; however, it contained McChicken sauce in place of the original 'McFeast Deluxe' sauce. The McFeast has been sold in Germany and Austria since the 1990s under the name Hamburger Royal TS (T for 'tomato'; S for , the German word for 'lettuce'). It contains a quarter-pounder patty, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, cheese, and the McChicken sauce. For special occasions, it is sold in Germany as a McFresh which also contains cucumber slices. It was renamed in the U.S. as the Quarter Pounder with Cheese Deluxe as of July 2019. Bacon has been optional on a Travis Scott Burger in Canada and the U.S. since September 2021. Big Arch Introduced in 2024 or 2025 in the UK along with other European locations. The sandwich was launched in the United States in March 2026.

It was released in 2011 and re-released in 2013 in the UK. • BBQ Ranch Burger – a hamburger containing a beef patty, white cheddar cheese, BBQ ranch sauce, and chili lime tortilla strips.

McChicken A McChicken is a mildly spicy breaded and seasoned chicken sandwich which is also offered in a spicier variant (the Hot n' Spicy) in some markets. The sandwich is made from 100% ground white meat chicken, mayonnaise, and shredded lettuce, on a toasted bun. A full-size version was introduced in 1980, later removed, and reintroduced in 1988. In some markets, it is not spicy, and in others, a cajun spiced version is also offered. It remains one of the biggest sellers, just behind the Big Mac. The larger sandwich was replaced with the Crispy Chicken Deluxe in 1996, and brought back in 1998 in the current smaller size, and marketed as the Cajun (Style) McChicken. In Philippines the McChicken Sandwich contains around 371 calories. In Australia, the average serving size for a McChicken is . In Canada, it remains a full-size sandwich, while the smaller American version is sold there as the Junior Chicken. McNuggets Chicken McNuggets were introduced on a regional basis in 1982 as a replacement for the McChicken before being rolled out nationally in the US in 1983. They are small, breaded and seasoned chicken chunks served with dipping sauces of barbecue, sweet n' sour, honey, and hot mustard. McNuggets are available in four, six, ten (originally nine), or twenty pieces. In some regions, such as Australia, they are available in three, six, ten or twenty-four pieces. Occasionally, they are made available in 40- or 50-piece packs on a promotional basis. While made from a combination of white and dark meat until 2003, they are now made only with white meat. In 2011, five new dipping sauces were introduced and added to the line-up: sweet chili, honey mustard, spicy buffalo, and creamy ranch. With the addition of these new dipping sauces, McDonald's began phasing out the hot mustard sauce, and by February 2014, it had been discontinued in most U.S. markets (joining the original honey dipping sauce, which was previously retired), while in Quebec, Canada, at least, the original four dipping sauces (barbecue, sweet 'n sour, hot mustard and honey) persist as of 2018. As recently as of 2020, McDonald's has introduced "spicy" versions of this cult classic. Spicy McNuggets were added on June 18, 2015, in Singapore alongside curry sauce for dipping, only for them to be eventually discontinued in 2021. In February 2026 McNugget Caviar was a limited-edition promotional food product offered as part of a Valentine's Day marketing campaign. It consisted of a kit containing a one-ounce tin of Baerii sturgeon caviar that was developed in collaboration with Paramount Caviar and was distributed free of charge in limited quantities exclusively through an online registration process. Premium Chicken Sandwiches The Premium chicken sandwich line was added in July 2005. The Classic was a rebranding of the Crispy Chicken and Chicken McGrill sandwiches, themselves 1998 rebrandings of the Deluxe chicken line. It contains mayonnaise, leaf lettuce, and a tomato slice. The Ranch BLT contains ranch sauce instead of mayonnaise and includes bacon. The club is similar to the Classic, with added bacon and a piece of Swiss cheese. In Latin America, the Classic and the club are sold, but a honey mustard chicken sandwich is sold in place of the BLT. All were served on a whole-grain roll, with either a grilled or crispy chicken breast. On March 20, 2014, the Premium Crispy Chicken Bacon Clubhouse and Premium Grilled Chicken Bacon Clubhouse were added to the line-up (alongside the beef variant of the sandwich) on a new artisan roll. In February 2015 the Ranch BLT and Club were removed from the menu. The standard crispy offering was renamed the Premium Crispy Chicken Deluxe (later the Buttermilk Crispy Chicken Sandwich in August 2015) and it was upgraded to sit on the artisan roll introduced with the Bacon Clubhouse. In the first week of April 2015, McDonald's replaced the Premium Grilled Chicken sandwich with the Artisan Grilled Chicken. McDonald's line of larger chicken sandwiches (The Classic, Club, Ranch BLT, and Southwest), which are part of the McDonald's Premium line, were introduced in July 2005 as part of McDonald's menu revamp. • The Classic includes lettuce, tomato, and mayo. • The club also has lettuce, tomato and mayo but also comes with Swiss cheese and bacon. • The Ranch BLT comes with a creamy ranch sauce, bacon, lettuce and tomato. • The Grand Chicken Burger: Large chicken patty with two layers of cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, and sauce. • The Southwest comes with a southwest style nacho chili sauce, lettuce, tomato, and spicy pepper jack cheese. All four can be chosen with either crispy or grilled chicken and all are served on a wheat ciabatta bun. Premium Chicken Deluxe Premium Chicken Deluxe – a sandwich made with a crispy chicken breast, tomato slices, and lettuce. It was first sold in 1996 and had its name changed to the Crispy Chicken Sandwich in 1998. It was replaced with a Premium chicken sandwich in July 2005 and was then brought back in 2015 under the original name with the added prefix Premium. The only other change is that it is now sold on an artisan roll instead of the potato bun that characterized the original Crispy Chicken Deluxe. By August 2015 it was renamed the Buttermilk Crispy Chicken Sandwich. This is part of the Taste-Crafted Chicken sandwiches introduced in 2016. Grilled Chicken Deluxe Grilled Chicken Deluxe – this sandwich has the same ingredients as the Premium Crispy Chicken Deluxe but has a marinated, grilled chicken breast at its center. It has been sold under various names since 1996, when it was introduced as the Grilled Chicken Deluxe, and had its name changed to the Chicken McGrill in 1998. It was replaced with a Premium chicken sandwich in July 2005, which was in turn replaced with the Artisan Grilled Chicken in 2015. It is also available in India and has at times been available in Canada. Taste-Crafted Taste-Crafted Chicken sandwiches, like the Taste-Crafted Burgers, were introduced in 2016 in West Coast markets, and in all other U.S. markets in January 2017. Signature Sriracha was the latest to be added in June 2016, reinstated in July through September 2017, and reinstated again permanently in January 2018; it was replaced by Sweet Barbecue Bacon in May 2017, which by July 2018 was changed to Bacon Smokehouse. Deli Choices Deli Choices is a line of deli-style sandwiches that are sold internationally. It is targeted at health-conscious customers and is available in Austria, Canada, and Germany. It is similar to the McHero sandwich, sold in parts of the United States. In the UK, these were eventually replaced by the Big Flavour Wraps. Snack Wrap Snack Wrap – a wrap made with white meat chicken breast (crispy or grilled), lettuce, shredded Cheddar cheese and Monterey Jack cheese, and a sauce (spicy buffalo, ranch, honey mustard, chipotle barbecue, or salsa roja, the breakfast sauce on the McSkillet), wrapped in a soft flour tortilla. It was launched on July 1, 2006. Chipotle BBQ is the most recent flavor. The wrap is available in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and Brazil. There is also a Mac Snack Wrap which features the fixings of the Big Mac but without the bun. It is wrapped in a tortilla shell, and uses one half of a piece of quarter meat. McDonald's offers a veggie wrap containing veggie dippers for customers who prefer a meat-free option. Premium Chicken McWrap In 2013, McDonald's in the U.S. introduced a larger wrap that it has had success with in parts of Europe. It comes in three variants: Sweet Chili Chicken, Chicken & Bacon, and Chicken & Ranch. McDonald's Canada has launched 3 new wraps: Zesty Lime McWrap, Sweet Chili McWrap, Spicy Buffalo Chicken Snack Wrap. McDonald's has launched a promotional deal known as "Wrap of the Day" in various countries, including the U.K. This deal features a selection of wraps, including options such as grilled, BBQ, and crispy chicken, available on different weekdays throughout the week. Chicken McBites Small balls of chicken that are made from chicken breasts and are about in diameter. These were available in the US with trials starting in September 2011 and were discontinued in 2013. They remain available in some international markets, including Italy and Australia. McArabia McArabia – there are two versions of the McArabia: grilled chicken, and grilled kofta (spiced ground beef). Both are served with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and garlic mayonnaise in addition to two small patties of grilled chicken or kofta, all wrapped in an Arabian-style pita bread. McDonald's has employed a rather large advertising campaign for the McArabia since its introduction in 2003, largely focusing on the Arabian-themed nature of the sandwich, and it appears to have worked well. The McArabia has been very well received throughout Southwestern Eurasia. The same product is also introduced in Malaysia with "Chicken Foldover" as an alternative name. Buttermilk Crispy Tenders Buttermilk Crispy Tenders were strips formulated with the buttermilk recipe used for the August 2015 revamp of the fried chicken sandwich, and were introduced in U.S. restaurants in September 2017. While they bear a resemblance to Chicken Selects, they are created and prepared differently. They feature a buttermilk chicken base and are cooked from thawed instead of frozen. This creates a juicier product than the Selects, as well as reduces cook time, though immediate supply issues caused them to effectively be removed from the menu until the end of December 2017. This was caused by demand being much higher than forecast. They were discontinued in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Other notable chicken products • Chicken Fajita – chicken, cheese, red and green bell peppers, and diced onions in a flour tortilla. Comes with picante sauce packets on request, which are available in mild and spicy.

Nearly identical to a Chick-fil-A chicken sandwich. Discontinued at many franchises in early 2015. • Chicken Parmi Burger – a burger that was introduced onto the McDonald's Australia menu in 2021.

• Filet-O-Fish (Fish Fillet Burger in Indonesia) – a fish fillet with tartar sauce and a half slice of cheese on a steamed bun. It was introduced in Cincinnati in 1962 when it was discovered that many Roman Catholics chose to eat at Frisch's Big Boy on Fridays and during Lent, as it offered a fish sandwich so customers could go without meat. This was replaced with the Fish Filet Deluxe in 1996 and brought back in 1998 albeit with a larger fish patty. During the Easter period in Hawaii and Guam, a Double Filet-O-Fish meal is offered with two pieces of fish on one bun. In Spain, a variant called "McFish" also exists which replaces the tartar sauce and cheese with ketchup. The Filet-O-Fish was discontinued in the Philippines as of 2021. • Fish McBites – similar to the Chicken McBites, these are small pieces of flaky whitefish dipped in batter and fried until golden brown, and served with tartar sauce for dipping. They were taken off the menu at the end of March 2013. ==Pork==

• McRib – a sandwich featuring a ground pork patty coated in barbecue sauce, slivered onions, and pickles. First seen in test-market stores near interstate highways around Milwaukee and Madison, Wisconsin, in the late 1970s (along with early tests of personal-sized pizza), the McRib was more widely released in 1981 but pulled from the menu in 1985. It is released annually in the U.S. as a limited-time promotion in some locations. Since 2005, the McRib has reappeared in late October, staying on the menu for 10 weeks. The McRib was released in Canada as a promotional sandwich from March 18 through April 8, 2008, and again in summer 2011. The McRib is presently on some European menus (e.g., Germany, where it has been standard since or even before 1990). • McFarm – the sandwich consists of two pork patties, a slice of cheddar, a slice of tomato, iceberg lettuce, and Mustard Delux sauce in a sesame seed bun, and is a regular product available for the Hungarian market • In Vietnam, grilled pork is sold, but with rice; egg is optional. ==Sauces==

'') and original szechuan sauce from 1998.|220x220px McDonald's introduced dipping sauces in 1982 to accompany the newly popular McNuggets. Originally, they were sold in a paper "snack pack" holder alongside McNuggets, and the original three-sauce lineup was inspired by Japanese Karaage sauces: "Oriental Hot Mustard" (later renamed "hot mustard), "Shanghai Sweet & Sour," "Teriyaki" (discontinued 1986), and Honey. Over time, the sauce selection has evolved to reflect local tastes: • Curry Sauce • Signature Sauce • Spicy Buffalo • Honey • Tartar Sauce • ''A Bug's Life'' Apple Cinnamon Sauce • Sweet Chili • Cajun • Fritessaus (Netherlands) • Savoury Chili McDonald's Sauce Szechuan Sauce Szechuan Sauce, or Mulan Sauce, was a dipping sauce for chicken nuggets created to promote the 1998 Disney film Mulan. The sauce was sold for a limited time, starting on June 16, 1998. Szechuan Sauce returned to the cultural spotlight almost twenty years later after being referenced numerous times in "The Rickshank Rickdemption", the Season 3 premiere of the Adult Swim animated comedy Rick and Morty. The sauce was announced to return to all McDonald's stores on February 26, 2018, due to popular demand from Rick and Morty fans. On March 31, 2022, it once again returned to stores, featured as an app-only exclusive. On July 19, 2023, the sauce returned to New Zealand for a limited time to promote the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup. On June 25, 2024, it returned to Canadian stores, for a promotional campaign called Throwback Sauces. On July 23, 2024, McDonald's France released a campaign for the Olympics called "Croquez le monde" (Bite the world), which offered re-issues of seven iconic products, including the Szechuan Sauce. However, customers said that it had different ingredients and taste compared to the US version. ==Condiments==

• Ketchup • Salt and Pepper • Tartar Sauce • Butter • Hot Cake Syrup • Grape Jam • Strawberry Preserves • Big Mac Sauce Dipping sauces • Tangy Barbecue Sauce • Spicy Buffalo Sauce • Creamy Ranch Sauce • Honey Mustard Sauce • Honey • Sweet 'N Sour Sauce • Sweet Curry Sauce (UK, Ireland, Hong Kong & Singapore) Ketchup The ketchup had been manufactured by Heinz for 40 years, from the 1970s until 2013 when Heinz hired a former CEO of Burger King as its new CEO. Since then, the ketchup has been produced in-house. The ketchup has been well received. In a 2022 comparison with the former Heinz ketchup, Bailey Fink wrote on Allrecipes.com that McDonald's ketchup was a bit thinner than the Heinz variant and as such did not coat the fry as much. Fink also noted that, while both ketchups tasted "tomatoey", Heinz's had a "big punch" of spice and recommended McDonald's Ketchup to those seeking a sweeter, more "tomato-heavy" flavor. ==Other products==

Salads McDonald's introduced salads to its menu in 1987. Since that time, they have restructured their salad lines several times. McSalad Shakers, a green salad sold in a plastic cup designed to fit in vehicle cupholders, were introduced in 2000 and discontinued in 2003. Fries McDonald's advertises their french fries as their World Famous Fries. Fries were first added to the menu in 1949, replacing potato chips. McDonald's fries in the US were originally prepared using a frying oil mixture of 93% beef tallow and 7% vegetable oil known as Formula 47. The use of this oil blend allowed McDonald's to develop their fries' distinctive flavor and crispiness. In 1990, McDonald's was pressured into switching to frying oil that was entirely vegetable oil due to the National Heart Savers Association's campaign against saturated fats. The new US oil used a natural beef flavor additive; other countries' fries do not include any animal products. Then in 2007, the restaurant franchise switched again to a vegetable oil with less trans fats as concerns over the health risks of trans fats grew. Loaded fries In Australia, McDonald's has sold multiple varieties of 'loaded fries' which consist of a portion of fries with a topping; these toppings include: • Gravy • Sweet Chili and Sour Cream • Guacamole and Salsa • Parmesan cheese and truffle mayo • BBQ & Aioli Sauce with Grilled Onions Other • In some international locations, McDonald's sells potato wedges, a type of potato chip that is thick-cut and wedge-shaped, and fried onion pieces that are similar to onion rings. • Many McDonald's locations in discount stores offer freshly popped popcorn and soft pretzels in addition to the normal menu. In Pennsylvania stores, only soft pretzels are offered as a side option. • Garlic fries were tested in the San Francisco Bay Area in 2016, using locally grown garlic from Gilroy, California. • Bacon Cheese Fries were added to the menu in January 2019. It adds melted cheddar cheese to go with bacon pieces. • Poutine was added to the Canadian McDonald's menu in 2013. After testing in Quebec, it was added to the national menu. • In Australia, all meals can have their side swapped from the default fries to Garden Salads for no extra charge. • McDonalds Australia introduced Vegemite McShaker Fries in early 2025 as a limited edition menu item, with a flavour sachet based on the popular Australian condiment Vegemite. Happy Meal McDonald's capitalized on Burger Chef's Funmeal concept of a children's meal when it introduced the first Happy Meal in 1977. The original happy meal consisted of a regular sized burger, keebler cookies, a soda, and a cracker jack surprise toy. (sometime later known as the Mighty Kids meal). The newer meal includes an entrée, a side dish, a beverage and a toy. Happy Meals include a tiny order fries (around half of a small order of fries) and fruit, optional sauce for fries, and a choice of nuggets, a single patty burger, or wraps. An additional product, Pasta Zoo, was discontinued in 2008. The Mighty Kids Meal contains more food than the Happy Meal, less than the adult meal, and still contains a toy. The toy is usually a product tie-in with a movie or popular television show. In mid-February 2012, McDonald's introduced the Happy Meals/Mighty Kids Meals so that they now come with either a hamburger, cheeseburger, four-piece Chicken McNuggets, McDouble or the 6-piece Chicken McNuggets with a smaller version of the small fry for the Happy Meal or a small fry for a Mighty Kids Meal. All kids meals now come with fries, apple slices, and a toy. The apple slices have been reduced from eight slices to only four and no longer come with caramel dipping sauce. :* In the U.S., the main is a choice of hamburger, cheeseburger, or a four-piece order of Chicken McNuggets (or a double cheeseburger or six-piece order of Chicken McNuggets for the Mighty Kids Meals); the sides are fries and sliced apples. Milk, chocolate milk, boxed apple juice, and soda are choices for drinks. Some U.S. franchises also include a small cellophane package of McDonaldland cookies. In 2009, McDonald's offered a Happy Meal Wrap, but it was discontinued later that year due to low sales. :* In the UK, the main is a choice of hamburger, cheeseburger, four Chicken McNuggets and McFish the sides are a choice of fries, carrot sticks or a fruit bag (sliced apples and grapes (February – May, September – November), melon (June – August), or a pineapple stick (December – January)). Organic milk, Tropicana orange juice, apple and blackcurrant Robinsons Fruit Shoot, milkshakes, water and soda are the choices for drinks. On May 15, 2019, cucumber sticks were added to the menu, replacing carrot sticks; they were used from May to July. :* In New Zealand and Australia, the main is a choice of hamburger, cheeseburger, three or six-piece order of Chicken McNuggets, grilled chicken pieces, or a crispy or seared Chicken Snack Wrap; the sides are a choice of a small french fries, yogurt, grape tomatoes or apple slices.

McLobster This is a lobster roll served in a hot dog bun with lobster sauce and shredded lettuce, introduced in 1993. The product had supply issues and was not very profitable nationally. Recently, it was only available in Atlantic Canada and New England region in the summer, when lobster is inexpensive. In the 2010s, McDonald's had short-term reintroductions in Canada and Italy. McCrab In response to the McLobster, McDonald's along the eastern coast of the Delmarva Peninsula (comprising parts of Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia) developed the McCrab sandwich, a McDonald's version of the Chesapeake crabcake, which was available on a limited basis in the early 2000s. McDonald's offered a similar sandwich named the Crab Meat Sandwich in the San Francisco Bay area for a limited time in 2017. At the time, it was billed as the first crab sandwich sold by a fast food chain in the United States, though the company had previously offered the McCrab. Poutine Originally only to be found in French-Canadian communities, poutine is now found on the menu at most McDonald's locations across Canada. Angus Snack Wrap Wrap with Angus burger introduced to the U.S. market on August 9, 2010.

The Angus Wrap uses half of a regular Angus burger patty. Brownie Melt Similar to a Cinnamelt, it is a rich chocolate brownie with chocolate and white frosting. McRice Most McDonald's restaurants in Asian countries serve the product due to popular demand. It is normal rice. Especially in Philippines, rice bowls are a Filipino staple, featuring steamed rice topped with dishes like adobo or sinigang. They are a common fixture on both home and restaurant menus, valued for their simplicity and balance. McSpaghetti McSpaghetti was launched in the late 1970s as a part of McDonald's dinner menu which included a number of Italian dishes. The dish is still available internationally such as in the Philippines where it is popular and is generally served with McNuggets. The McBean burger This is a vegan burger where the patties are made with cannellini beans, kidney beans, onions, carrots and green peppers. Available in Sweden. India menu The menu in India has numerous unique items, all of which contain neither beef nor pork: • Maharaja Mac – Chicken – like a Big Mac, but with two pressed spiced chicken patties instead of beef, served with a mustard sauce. Veg – A vegetarian version of the Big Mac sold at McDonald's India, containing patties made of potato, corn, peas, and cheese. Maharaja is a Hindi word meaning 'emperor'. • Paneer Salsa Wrap (paneer is an Indian unsalted white cheese). • Chicken Mexican Wrap • McAloo Tikki – breaded potato patty with onion and tomato on a plain bun (aloo is 'potato'). Available at select stores in India, Greece, and Walt Disney World in Lake Buena Vista, Florida. Since McDonald's does not serve beef or pork in any of its products in India, it has created a few vegetarian options to suit the large vegetarian populace. Thus, the cheeseburger is recast as a vegetarian option and served as an "Aloo Tikki Burger" containing a patty made of potato and peas with a slice of cheese. Georgie Pie Georgie Pie is a meat pie sold in New Zealand. The brand was also the name of a New Zealand-based chain that was bought by McDonald's New Zealand in 1996 and was revived as part of the McDonald's menu in 2013 due to popular demand. Veggie Crunch Burger This vegetarian burger was launched in the Singapore market on September 6, 2016. Its patty is made with a mixture of up to seven types of vegetables, including green peas, carrots, tomatoes, capsicum, beans, etc. However, its dressings contain garlic and eggs. The patty is fried in the same oil used for frying apple pies so it does not come in contact with meat products. Signature Collection In McDonald's UK, EotF (Experience of the Future) restaurants offer the premium Signature Collection, which consist of The Spicy, The Classic and The BBQ. These burgers are served on a brioche bun, and the patties are thicker and take longer to cook. The collection costs more than the average Big Mac meal, respectively.

|131x131px McMuffins McMuffins are McDonald's signature breakfast sandwich. First sold at select restaurants in 1972 as the Egg McMuffin, five years before a breakfast menu officially went into effect, it consists of a fried egg, back bacon (called Canadian bacon in the United States) and American cheese on a toasted English muffin. Sausage or bacon McMuffins are also available. A Chicken McMuffin is offered in South Africa and Canada. Double variations of all of the muffins are available in Australia (in select states only) and the United Kingdom. In the United States, McDonald's offers a variety of McMuffins, with the Sausage McMuffin and Sausage McMuffin with Egg being standout favorites. Breakfast sandwiches McDonald's offers a line of breakfast sandwiches: bagels (introduced in 1999), biscuits, and a special type of maple flavored pancake called McGriddles. All can be ordered with sausage, ham or bacon, with an optional choice of cheese and/or egg. Regional meat offerings include fried chicken, steak, spam and bacon. They are an internationally famous sandwich and as such have been well received. The McDonald's Hamdesal is a breakfast sandwich which consists of a slice of ham on pandesal, which can be ordered plain, with eggs or with cheese. This sandwich is currently available in the Philippines. Australian restaurants also introduced in 2018 the Big Brekkie Burger which consists of a sesame seed bun, BBQ sauce, two rashers of bacon, an egg, a hash brown, a slice of Aussie Jack cheese and two 10:1 patties. Bagels In the UK, bagels were offered with jam or Philadelphia cream cheese until 2019, when the breakfast menu was reduced due to the COVID-19 pandemic. McDonald's UK announced that bagels would be permanently removed from the menu in January 2022. Bagels with cheese and bacon or sausage on them, and steak bagels are available in the US. All Day Breakfast Since October 2015, McDonald's offers breakfast all day in Australia, Canada, and Mexico (Tijuana, Baja California Norte only). However, the full breakfast menu is not available at all hours. Only certain items, such as McMuffins, pancakes and hash browns will be available beyond the usual 10:30 A.M. cutoff weekdays or 11:00 A.M. weekends. All U.S. restaurants had expanded their all-day menu to add Biscuit sandwiches, Egg McMuffins and McGriddles in late September 2016. Despite success with the concept, McDonald's temporarily suspended all-day breakfast in the U.S. in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic except for hot cakes and burritos, and by September 2020 it had been reported that U.S. franchisees voted to permanently remove all-day breakfast in order to improve speed of service and order accuracy. All Day Lunch In Australia certain regular menu products are available 24/7, these being: • 10 Piece McNugget Meal • Big Mac • Quarter Pounder • Cheeseburger • Chicken McNuggets • French Fries • Salad Burger (New Zealand) Additional items Additional breakfast items include pancakes; a platter known as a Big Breakfast comes with scrambled eggs, a hash brown, sausage or bacon, and a biscuit or English muffin.

The run was repeated in summer 1976, but not since. In the U.S., starting in February 2010, Triple Thick Shakes were rebranded under the McCafe name, along with the addition of whipped cream, and a cherry on top, and a significant reduction in size. In Canada, McDonald's shakes are still sold under the Triple Thick name.

The sole flavor available initially was apple, later supplemented, in certain periods and/or certain markets, by cherry, strawberry and creme, s'mores, sweet potato, and holiday flavors, among others. In Canada in the 1970s, blueberry was standard, as was a mixed-fruit pie called the Great Fruit Pie. Other regional varieties, both permanent and occasionally offered, include corn (Japan), cheese (Mexico, Guatemala, Panama, and Costa Rica), banana (Brazil and Hawaii), taro (Hawaii, Guam and Thailand), haupia (Hawaii), guava (Hawaii), mango (Indonesia), chocolate (Indonesia) and apricot (Russia). Apple and (for a short period) banana pies were available in Argentina, but discontinued in the 90s. • A soft serve ice cream product is available in several forms, including sundaes, cones (vanilla or at some locations also chocolate), and as the primary ingredient in the McFlurry. As with many other formulations of soft serve, cellulose gum is utilized as an extender and thickener. • The McFlurry is a soft-serve ice cream dessert that has pieces of candy or cookies mixed into it. It was created in Canada in 1995, and was later integrated into the American menu in 1997.

In Australia, they had a special range for their 40 years in Australia celebration. The flavors were double choc fudge, bubblegum squash, strawberry crumble and caramel cookie. Also in Malaysia, a unique flavor called FuseofmyLife is offered to customers. The mixing blade for the dessert is actually a specially designed spoon with a hollow handle that attaches to the mixer spindle (except in Australia and New Zealand where it is not mixed). The blade is used once then given to the customer to use as an eating utensil. • McDonaldland cookies are traditionally available and are similar to animal crackers, except the shapes of the cookies are of Ronald McDonald, Grimace, Birdie the Early Bird, and the Hamburglar, among other McDonaldland characters. They are manufactured by Keebler and are just rebranded animal crackers (Elfin Crackers or Our Family Animal Crackers). In Australia, the McDonaldland Cookies are manufactured by Arnotts and are sold in McDonald's restaurants. • Freshly baked cookies are available in some markets. Among the cookies offered are sugar, oatmeal raisin, or chocolate chip. • Cinnamon Melts – a popular cinnamon roll type item with cream cheese icing. • Brownie melts – similar to the Cinnamon Melt, only chocolate-flavored with fudge and cream cheese icing on top. Available only in selected markets. • The Fruit and Yogurt Parfait – a mix of frozen strawberries and blueberries and vanilla yogurt, sold with a package of granola topping. • Smoothies are available in some locations in either blueberry pomegranate, strawberry banana, or mango-pineapple flavors. In the test market areas, smoothies were introduced in 2009. In Australia, smoothies are no longer sold. • Pineapple – In many Hawaii stores pineapple slices are served, in a McDonald's branded covered tray, with every meal. They can be left out of the meal, which reduces the meal price. • Donuts (stylized as Li'L Donuts) – introduced in Canada in 2020 under the McCafé concept.

Sold with a package of McDonald's BBQ sauce on the side using the slogan "McDonald's is my kind of place"; it was inspired by a franchisee's version of an Arby's sandwich. The sandwich failed due to the costs of getting roast beef slicers; no matter how many sandwiches they could sell, it would never turn a profit. • Hula Burger – A Ray Kroc invention, it featured a slice of pineapple instead of meat. Originally intended for Roman Catholics who are not allowed to eat meat on Fridays during Lent. It was test-marketed in 1963 alongside the Filet-O-Fish sandwich, with the highest seller being added to the menu full-time (the Filet-O-Fish, a creation of an Ohio franchiser, won). • Kiwiburger – Sold intermittently since the 1990s, the Kiwiburger was designed to reflect their eponymous national bird, population, and culture. It contains a quarter-pound beef patty, a round egg, cheese, lettuce, tomato, beetroot, onions, ketchup, and mustard.

Pizza and pasta • Dinner Menu – After testing pasta in the South in 1989, McDonald's began testing a pasta-based menu at 40 units across Rochester, New York, in September 1991, including Italian-American classics such as lasagna, fettuccine alfredo, and spaghetti with meatballs. In the early 1990s, a new Dinner Menu was tested for 6–12 months at two locations in New York and Tennessee. It consisted of the pizza mentioned below but also included lasagna, spaghetti, fettuccine alfredo, and roasted chicken as other mains. The side dishes included mashed potatoes with gravy and a vegetable medley. For the dessert, it included a brownie à la mode or peanut butter pie. • McSpaghetti - Starting in 1970, exclusively in the Philippines McDonald's sold spaghetti. The item was discontinued from the menu in 1980, but began gaining popularity in 2021 because a Twitter user claimed that they ordered it from McDonald's one time, and the item was re-introduced in the Philippines and one location in Orlando, Florida. They served it as a classic spaghetti with meatballs and cheese, freshly made with sweet/sour tomato sauce. Today, its one of the regular main menu items, often paired with regular deals. • Pizza/McPizza – McDonald's has also attempted pizza at various times, By 1991, the McDonald's test markets for pizza had grown to over 500 McDonald's locations before the pizza test was placed on hold. Pizza was discontinued in most restaurants by 1999. The reason for eliminating pizza from the menu was that it took 11 minutes to cook a pizza, and McDonald's wanted to keep its reputation for fast service. A decade later, two McDonald's locations, one in Pomeroy, Ohio, and the other in Spencer, West Virginia, still offered the family-style McPizza; the Ohio and West Virginia locations ceased serving pizzas in 2017. In November 2020, only the largest U.S. McDonald's, in Orlando, Florida, features pizza, pasta, and Belgian waffles.
