McDonald's: We're making a healthier Happy Meal
In 2018, McDonald’s USA made these changes to its Happy Meal menu, said Cindy Goody, chief nutritionist:
- Listing the hamburger, 4-piece and 6-piece chicken mcnuggets as entrees (so the cheeseburger is only available upon request).
- Replacing small French fries with kids-sized fries in the 6-piece chicken mcnugget meal.
- Reformulating choc milk to reduce the amount of added sugar.
- Offering Yoplait Go-GURT low fat strawberry yogurt with no artificial preservatives, flavors or colors, and less sugar.
- Adding, by the end of this year, bottled water as a beverage choice.
