1. Why McDonalds are chips always over loaded with salt? My husband doesn't take salt & he gets very upset when our chips are covered in salt, he goes on about healthy eating & how can in this day & age, places like McDonalds get away with it? I on the other hand I love salt so I don't mind. Our little girl has just turned 1yr & I must admit I would never let her eat the chips because of the amount of salt. why is there so much salt & can we ask for chips with no salt?.
Thank you for your question. McDonald's has spent some time working on reducing the salt in its French Fries. The company conducted a trial of self-salting fries in 13 restaurants. The trial revealed that customers preferred salted fries, and that when they added salt themselves; customers tended to put more salt onto their fries than when the restaurant salted them. As a result, McDonald's continues to salt the fries after cooking but has reduced the amount used by 24 percent compared with five years ago. The company continues to provide unsalted fries to customers who ask for them. Just let the staff member know when you place your order. (Feb 2009)
