McDonald’s introduces whole wheat bun

Quick service restaurant McDonald’s has launched whole wheat buns in its restaurants in a bid to offer wholesome and nutritious foods to its customers, the company said in a statement.

Apart from burgers, whole wheat buns are also available with the products on the breakfast menu, the company said.

“McDonald’s in India has been setting the standards for the industry. We announced ‘The Good Food Story’ earlier this year with a commitment to ring wholesome and nutritious food options to our consumers. I am delighted that we have made another significant and bold move in this direction by offering Whole Wheat buns to our health-conscious customers.

Our latest offering is a rich source of fibre and other nutrients. ‘The Good Food Story’ is a journey, and we will continue to take substantial steps to delight our consumers with nutritive and wholesome offerings,” said Amit Jatia, Vice Chairman of Westlife Development, which runs McDonald’s in south and west part of the country.

McDonald’s in west and south India had earlier made alterations in its menu which brought down the sodium and oil content in its products by 20% and 40% respectively. Fortified with natural dietary fibre, almost all the patties are preservative free, and the soft serves are 96% fat-free and are made of 100% milk. The refined flour wraps are replaced with whole grain wraps, McDonald’s said.
