Frequently Asked Questions About McDonald's USA Food & Nutrition
|
Q: How does McDonald’s obtain nutrition information such as calories, fat, sodium and fiber for its menu items?
A: Our popular menu items are analyzed by a recognized independent laboratory using the latest methods accepted by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the US Food and Drug Administration. In fact, McDonald’s menu items are analyzed in the same lab USDA uses to analyze foods. The USDA is including McDonald’s nutrition information in their public food database and in their national consumer nutrition surveys.
Analyzing the actual food items in a lab is the most accurate way to determine the nutritional content of foods. In some cases, we also use nutrition data from major suppliers such as The Coca-Cola® Company, Masterfoods USA, a Division of Mars, Incorporated and Newman’s Own, Inc., or rely on a recognized database.
