Fast food chain, McDonalds, has added more healthy options to Happy Meals

McDonald’s has added further healthy options to its Happy Meal. The company has removed artificial preservatives from its low-fat strawberry yogurt and added a bottle of Dasani water as an option at no extra cost. The move follows McDonald’s overhaul of the children’s meal earlier this year, which included making cheeseburgers a request-only item, reducing the size of French fries, cutting salt and removing artificial preservatives in chicken McNuggets, and reformulating sugar content in its chocolate milk. McDonald’s has also pledged every meal combination on its Happy Meal menu boards in the US will feature no more than 600 calories. McDonald’s has been making significant changes to the Happy Meal since 2012, when it began including apple slices. In 2014, the company added the squeezable yogurt as another side option, which only has 45 calories. McDonald’s has been on a journey to improve the quality of food throughout its menu by using fresh beef in its Quarter Pounder and removing artificial ingredients from seven classic burgers.
