This is the feedback thread for the 20 Mumsnetters invited by McDonald’s to attend a private event in order try out their new ‘Meals Under’ bundles - all of which are below either 400 or 600 calories.
Here is what McDonald’s has to say: ‘We know it can be hard to keep track of what you, and your kids, are eating. That’s why we have launched our ‘Meals Under’ bundles. These easily show a range of meal options under 400 or 600 calories. The bundles are clearly displayed on our self-order screens and bring together a main menu item, a drink and a side for breakfast, lunch or dinner. They include many of our favourite menu items such as the Egg and Cheese McMuffin, McChicken Sandwich, Chicken McNuggets and our Big Flavour Wraps. All achieve amber and green on the Food Standard Agency traffic light system for fat, saturated fat, salt and sugar. It’s about serving up information in an easy way for customers so they can make informed choices.’
Attendees, please answer the questions below:
- What do you think of the Meals Under bundles? Did anything surprise you?
- Is there anything McDonald’s could do to make Meals Under more visible, or anything which would encourage you to try them?
- How was your experience e.g. table service / new restaurants?
- What else would you like to see from McDonald’s – for you and for your family (for a better experience / menu / to be more fun etc)?
- Did the lunch change your perception about McDonald’s? If so, how?
- When chatting to other Mumsnetters, did you find that they face similar challenges to you when choosing meals for themselves and their families? What were they? Any good tips to share with the Mumsnet community?
If you have any other thoughts please don’t hesitate to add them too!
All attendees who submit their feedback will receive a £30 cheque for attending the event which will be delivered to their home address. Everyone who leaves feedback will also be entered into a prize draw to win a £300 voucher of their choice (from a list).
Thanks,
MNHQ
