Thank you for contacting us regarding McDonald’s menu selection for vegetarians. We appreciate your thoughts, and hope the following information will interest you.

First, at McDonald’s we are always reviewing our menu, developing new products, and looking for ways to satisfy the diverse tastes of our customers. We feel it is important to offer a variety of menu items that can be enjoyed and fit into my well balanced diet.

We presently serve several items that vegetarians can enjoy at McDonald’s garden salads, French fries and hash browns (cook in 100 percent vegetable oil), hotcake, scramble eggs, whole grain cereals, and English muffins.

As we explore our and teste new product concepts, we also look at non-meat versions.  Unfortunately, when we have tested these options with consumer, customer response was not strong enough to warrant expansion.

We operate our restaurants on the philosophy that “the customer is the reason for our business.” Ultimately, it is our customers who decide what products we offer. That is why you will find many different menu items available at McDonald’s restaurant worldwide to satisfy these varying tastes and cultures.

I hope I have explained our approach to developing product we hope you will enjoy it. If you have any additional questions, please fel free to call me collect at the above listed number.

Thanks again for taking the time to share your thoughts with us.

Sincerely,

Ahmed Andijany
