Why are your ingredients for McDonald's fries different in the U.S. from those in the U.K.?

March 04, 2021

Every country has a way of doing things a little differently, so there are a few reasons that can influence why our ingredients vary here at home. These can include customer preferences, local regulations and guidelines, and supply chain availability. While the ingredients we use in our fries in the U.S. may differ from those served across the pond, taste and safety are never compromised.
