The New
Happy Meal
®
To provide parents and children a balanced meal
they can feel good about, McDonald's® Happy Meal now
includes an automatic offering of fruit.
What’s new about the Happy Meal?
The new Happy Meal automatically includes Apple Slices (¼
cup or ½ serving) as a side to the choice of a Hamburger,
Cheeseburger or Chicken McNuggets,® and choice of beverage,
including new fat-free chocolate milk and 1% low fat white
milk. In addition to Apple Slices, the meal also automatically
comes with new smaller size French fries. For customers who
prefer apples only, an additional bag of Apple Slices is available
to replace the fries.
Happy Meal Nutrition
The new Happy Meal that includes 4-piece Chicken McNuggets,
Apple Slices, new smaller size French fries and 1% low fat
white milk or fat-free chocolate milk delivers produce and dairy
food groups encouraged by the USDA Dietary Guidelines for
Americans, 2010 and MyPlate1. The sodium in the Happy Meal
entrée favorite, Chicken McNuggets, has been reduced by more
than 20 percent since 2003. In fact, McDonald’s
recently reduced sodium 10 percent in
most of its chicken menu items
as part of its
national sodium
reduction efforts.
McDonald’s ‘Commitments to Offer
Improved Nutrition Choices’
The new Happy Meal is part of McDonald’s recently-announced
‘Commitments to Offer Improved Nutrition Choices’ which aims
to help customers – especially children and families – make
nutrition-minded choices for their daily lifestyles, whether
visiting McDonald’s or eating elsewhere.
By including fruit in every Happy Meal,
McDonald’s hopes to address a
challenge children face in
meeting the recommended daily
consumption of produce. It is
anticipated that the new
Happy Meal will introduce
about 100 million cups of
produce annually into
the diets of our
youngest customers.
