I remember McDonald's doing a promotional Cadbury Mini Egg McFlurry for easter a few years ago (crushed mini eggs & chocolate sauce) however fellow colleagues claim that they've never offered it on our menu. Can you shine any light on this mystery?
-
Thanks for your question. We did indeed launch a Cadbury Mini Egg McFlurry in 2006; however, we feel that our customers prefer Cadbury Crème Egg McFlurry, which will be launched again this year. (March 2011)

Thank you for your question. We are not sure where these rumours come from but they are not true. Our McFlurry’s do not contain any pig or chicken fat. The ingredients for a McFlurry change according to the flavour chosen, however, the ice cream ingredients are as follows: Skimmed Milk, Cream, Sugar, Whey Powder, Glucose Syrup, Stabilisers (Guar Gum, Mono- and Diglycerides of Fatty Acids), Flavouring, Carrageenan (standardised with sugars), Dextrose. A full list of ingredients and nutritional breakdown and allergy information for all McDonald’s UK food can be found in the ‘Food’ section at www.mcdonalds.co.uk. (March 2011)

-
Thanks for your question. The Crunchie and Dairy Milk McFlurry desserts are suitable for vegetarians and have been approved by the Vegetarian Society. The vegetable fat is derived from palm oil and is of vegetable origin.
The Smartie McFlurry is not suitable for vegetarians. The ice cream contains no ingredients of animal origin, however the Smarties contain whey powder which the supplier cannot guarantee is free from animal rennet. The vegetarian status of all our standard menu items can be found on the reverse of the trayliner in the restaurants. (January 2011)

However, having contacted the manufacturers for Oreos in the UK, they have confirmed that Oreos manufactured for the UK are not suitable for Vegetarians. Is the Oreo McFlurry then actually suitable for vegetarians?
-
Thank you for your question. The Oreo McFlurry is not a permanent menu item but yes, it is suitable for vegetarians. A full list of all standard McFlurry ingredients is listed in the 'Nutrition' section at www.mcdonalds.co.uk.

Could you please advise me the sugar content of the mcflurry without the chocolate toppings (we can add our own sugar free sweets). We went into mcdonalds stafford today and on this website plus your ingredients website and I was unable to uncover this information.
-
Recent analysis shows that the McFlurry Ice Cream without the topping contains 21.4g of sugar per 100g or 36.38g of sugar per portion.

I heard about some lawsuit in aversion to poultry when someone had a mcflurry, there was apparently oil from chicken feathers in the ingredients or something like that, instead of repeating the ingredients why not tell the consumer the english terms(terms everyone will understand)?
-
This is a complete myth. The ingredients for the McFlurry and Sundaes are available in the 'Ingredient List' at www.mcdonalds.co.uk. There are no poultry ingredients or flavourings contained in either of them.
