Cheeseburgers, like chocolate milk, which will also be deleted from the kid-friendly menu, will be available upon request.
The latest change is part of an ongoing “commitment with Alliance for a Healthier Generation” that began in 2013. When the changes go into effect, Happy Meals will be 600 calories or fewer.
Menu entree choices will include a hamburger, 4-piece and 6-piece Chicken McNuggets. The larger nuggets main course will come with a “kids-sized fries” instead of a small order of them to cut calories and sodium. Bottled water will also be added to the Happy Meal menu.
“Depending on the customer’s specific meal selection,” McDonald’s said, the new Happy Meals could reduce calories by 20%, added sugars by 50%, saturated fat by 13% and/or sodium by 17%.
