Our Happy Meal®

We want to make sure you love our Happy Meal® as much as your kids do.

Salt

Let's start with salt. From 2003 to 2024, we’ve reduced the total salt in a typical Happy Meal (Chicken McNuggets, Fries and Fruit Shoot) by 50%*.

More choice

We’ve also increased choice on the menu. Fries can be swapped for fruit bags or carrot sticks. We’ve introduced low-fat milk as well as water, and the majority of our Happy Meals are now sold with no added sugar drink options.**  

Happy Meal® Veggie Dippers

We’ve also added more options for kids by introducing the new Veggie Dippers into the Happy Meal®.

Much less fat

By carefully formulating a blend of non-hydrogenated sunflower and rapeseed oils, we’ve reduced the saturated fat in our restaurant cooking oil by a whopping 83%***. Pretty good news, right?

Irish farms

And, just like the rest of our menu, the beef for our Happy Meal® comes from Irish farms. It's always 100% whole cuts of beef, prepared by butchers with just a pinch of salt and pepper added after cooking. The same goes for our chicken - it's just chicken breast meat.

Good to know

So, you see, there's a lot in our Happy Meal® to make you happy, as well as your kids. And that's good to know.
