Why, when I went to the McDonald’s at 11 am I couldn’t get a sausage/egg McMuffin? It was
pictured as an all day item on the drive thru menu, but person said it’s not available after 11 am. Trooper Rd. Norristown, PASorry, but your experience is not pertaining to McDonald’s restaurants in West & South India and hence we are unable to comment. McDonald’s in India serves breakfast across its restaurants between 7am-11am. We have not introduced all day breakfast in our market, yet.
Are there any stores with sirloin burgers still being sold in sc its the best burger ever
Thank you for your question Jim. This blog is for the customers of McDonald’s in India. From our very inception in India in 1996, we don’t serve beef and pork products respecting local cultural sensitivities. If you are in India, do try our other burgers which include Chicken Maharaja Mac and Filet-O-Fish.Why are McFlurrys made with a void in the centre? The cup is really only half full, with an inadequate
sprinkling of toppings.
The cup is really only half full, with an inadequate sprinkling of toppings. Thanks for your question, Archana. All McFlurry desserts are made with a specific amount of ingredients. Our mixing machine blends the ice cream with your chosen toppings in such a way that the spinning may spread the ingredients out from the centre.
How much added sugar is present in your burger buns? If there are different quantities in different
buns, then please elaborate.
Thanks, Rahul. We can tell you that added sugar in bun is ranging from 6.3-6.5%; in fact we have reduced the amount of sugar in our buns back in 2004.
Where do your potatoes come from? I am told your fries aren’t from real potatoes.!
Our potatoes are as real as the Earth is round, Priya – and that’s where they start out. They come from Deesa & Kheda district in Gujarat. We use the McCain potatoes exclusively. These whole potatoes are processed into fries by McCain India, then sent to us so we can cook up fresh orders of our world famous fries.
