Since when do McDonald's call mayonnaise 'sandwich sauce'?

Ordered DS1 mcds and he got a couple of regular saver menu hamburgers, on the extras it said 'sandwich sauce' which he assumed to be the stuff the put on big macs?

They arrived slathered in mayo and the label says

sansauc(mayo)

Why not just write mayo on the menu?

He hates mayo so is in the kitchen washing his burgers 😂😂😂

This isn't a daily mail sad face compo thread, no pic of DS pointing sadly at a wet burger 😂

Just curious.

It probably doesn’t have enough egg content to be allowed to be called mayonnaise.

It must be the sauce from the McChicken sandwich.. I think that’s the only “sandwich” on the menu.

Maybe it’s sort of mayonnaise-flavoured but they can’t call it mayonnaise because it doesn’t have egg/oil/vinegar/whatever in it?

Or is it meant to be salad cream (as in like Heinz Salad Cream)

The stuff they put on Big Macs is basically a very weak mustard.

No it says on the label on the burger 'mayo'

And its their mayo. I tasted it.

The sandwich sauce is on the McChicken sandwich and in my opinion tastes different from the mayo which they use on the mayo chicken.

The ingredients are

Sandwich Sauce
Ingredients: Water, Rapeseed Oil, Sugar, Spirit Vinegar, Modified Maize Starch, Salt, Thickener (Xanthan Gum), Spices (contain Allergen Ingredient:MUSTARD), Lemon Juice Concentrate, Preservative (Potassium Sorbate), Natural Onion Flavouring, Dried Garlic, Natural Turmeric Flavouring, Colour (Paprika Extract)

McDonald's used to have cool mayo that went on other sandwiches so the chicken sarnie sauce (which is different) is called sandwich sauce.

Ohhh, I always thought the stuff on the chicken sandwich was just mayo.

Didn't realise it was a different sauce

Thanks, now we know!

And the stuff that's on Big Macs is called...

Big Mac sauce. 😂

It has diced pickles in which not many people realise!
