International Availability Of McDonald's Products

McDonald's Corporation () is the world's largest chain of fast food restaurants, serving around 68 million customers daily in 119 countries. McDonald's traces its origins to a 1940 restaurant in San Bernardino, California, United States. After expanding within the United States, McDonald's became an international corporation in 1967, when it opened a location in Richmond, British Columbia, Canada. By the end of the 1970s, McDonald's restaurants existed in five of the Earth's seven continents; an African location came in 1992 in Casablanca, Morocco.

In order to cater to local tastes and culinary traditions, and often in respect of particular laws or religious beliefs, McDonald's offers regionalized versions of its menu among and within different countries. As a result, products found in one country or region may not be found in McDonald's restaurants in other countries or their ingredients may differ significantly. For example, Indian McDonald's does not serve beef/pork products.

Africa

Egypt

In 2001, McDonald's introduced the McFalafel sandwich in its Egypt locations. These restaurants also offer a Chicken Big Mac and Fish Mac, variations on the standard Big Mac which substitute breaded chicken or fish, respectively, for the usual beef patties. In the summer of 2008, McDonald's introduced fish fingers with tartar dipping sauce as a side in Egyptian restaurants. Early 2010 saw the introduction of Egyptian cookies to the Cairo location. McDonald's has almost 70 locations throughout the country.

China

In China, Chicken McNuggets can come with the traditional barbecue, sweet and sour, honey and hot mustard sauces; or even a special chili garlic sauce, which is popular in China. Chinese menus also include crispy spicy chicken wings, called McWings. All chicken burgers offered in Chinese McDonald's use thigh fillet (e.g., Premium Grilled Thigh Fillet Burger, Hot and Spicy Grilled Thigh Fillet Burger), rather than breast meat, which is preferred in western countries.

Unique ice cream flavors such as Matcha Green Tea ice cream is available.
Pies come in two standard flavors: pineapple or taro, although special flavors including chocolate, apple, banana, and azuki bean have also been offered on a limited basis.

There is a seasonal Chinese New Year meal available, including the Grilled Chicken Burger and curly fries, with a horoscope of the twelve zodiac animals of Chinese astrology and traditional red envelopes.

Hong Kong

Hong Kong hosts some of the world's busiest McDonald's, with many operating 24 hours a day. Breakfasts include pasta soups with sausage or chicken. Locations offer cups of corn as substitutes for French fries or à la carte. Desserts include soft serve ice cream in azuki bean and mung bean flavours; pineapple or red bean sundaes are sometimes offered.

India

Indian McDonalds serve the Chicken Maharaja Mac, a grilled chicken double patty with habanero sauce and Veg Maharaja Mac, a cheese and corn double patty with cocktail sauce.

McDonald's in India do not serve beef nor pork products, in deference to Hindu and Muslim beliefs respectively. Vegetarian and meat based meals are prepared in separate areas of the restaurant due to religious laws; cooks preparing vegetarian dishes wear a distinctive green apron and non vegetarian cooks wear a red apron.

Indonesia

To accommodate Muslim-majority population, all McDonald's restaurants in Indonesia are certified halal, which means they do not serve bacon or pork patties, while serving only beef, chicken, and fish. Local items include crispy and spicy fried chicken; the McRice, a small mound of steamed rice wrapped in paper and available to supersize; McSoup, a chicken flavored soup with bits of croutons and vegetables; and ''Buryam'' (short for ''bubur ayam'' or chicken congee), later renamed as ''Bubur Ayam Spesial'' with the addition of fried egg topping. ''Sambal'' chili sauce, an essential component of Indonesian cuisine, and tomato ketchup are available as condiments.

McDonald's fried chicken, McRice, and fruit tea are sold together as PaNas (''paket nasi'' or "rice package") with an additional sachet of ''sambal'' chili sauce. This adopts the Indonesian way of consuming ''ayam goreng'' (fried chicken) with steamed rice and ''sambal''.

Other than fried chicken with rice and ''bubur ayam'' chicken rice congee, locals' preference of rice-based food is accommodated further by the introduction of Chicken with Spicy Tomato and Chicken Teriyaki, which is a bowl of steamed rice topped with strips of fried chicken patty with sauces and vegetables, similar to the Japanese donburi (rice bowl) fashion of serving.

McDonald's Indonesia also promotes some seasonal foods, sold only within a limited certain period of time. Those limited periods include Chinese New Year, Ramadhan, and Independence Day specials.

During Chinese New Year, a Beef Prosperity Burger, consisting of two beef patties covered in black pepper sauce and topped with diced onions, is sold.

During Ramadan, McDonald's Indonesia has offered BBQ Beef Flatbread (2014), Curry Beef Delight (2015), Moroccan Burger (2016), Ayam Kremes (2017 and 2018, with addition of Nasi Uduk), Ayam Serundeng Sambal Terasi (2019), Ayam Spesial Sambal Bawang (2020), and Ayam Gulai (2021).

In certain periods, such as August (the month of Indonesian independence), McDonald's Indonesia launches local-inspired dishes, which change annually. For example, in 2016, McDonald's offered Burger Sate, McFlurry Rujak Pedas, and Markisa soda tea. In 2020, dishes such as the Burger Nasi Goreng, a hamburger with sweet and savoury sauce, Kentang Goreng Gulai Gurih (gulai flavoured french fries) with Soda Asam Jawa (tamarind soda) and Es Kopi Durian Jelly Float (durian flavour ice coffee) were released. Locally inspired desserts include McFlurry with Teh botol and Cone Top Es Teler (Es teler flavour ice cream).

Israel

The only entirely kosher McDonald's are in Israel and Argentina. In these locations, patties are barbecued on charcoal rather than fried. Some kosher locations serve milk-based desserts, but in separate booths, allowing for full separation of dairy and meat products in food preparation areas. However, most of the McDonald's outlets in Israel are not kosher service, as they serve cheeseburgers, which mix dairy and meat products.

Specialty items in Israeli McDonald's include the McShawarma and McKebab, both served on flatbread. On January 18, 2011, McDonald's introduced the McFalafel sandwich in Israel, but withdrew the item six months later. Within the last few years they have added a vegetarian option, corn sticks (which are bite-sized corn schnitzels).

Malaysia

Correlating with most Muslim-majority markets, all McDonald's in Malaysia adhere to Islamic dietary laws (halal) under the supervision of the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia. Two Syarie experts are also appointed by the government to advise McDonald's on its food preparation. Thus, meat is slaughtered via the halal technique, while pork and bacon are absent in the Malaysian menu.

Among the local bestsellers in the Malaysian market is the Ayam Goreng McD, originally branded as McDonald's Fried Chicken, introduced in March 1986. The product's name was changed to Chicken McCrispy in 2000 and again to Ayam Goreng McD in 2002 to complement the country's culture. There are two variants of the fried chicken: Regular and Spicy. A third version of Fried Chicken – Extra Spicy Ayam Goreng – was periodically available from July to November 2019, November to December 2021 and August 2023.

The Malaysian McDonald's first approach on embracing the local tastebuds commenced in July 2002 by the debut of Bubur Ayam McD ("McD's Chicken Porridge"), chicken strips in rice congee with scallions, sliced ginger, fried shallots, and diced chilies; The success of Bubur Ayam McD has spread the porridge to be introduced into the regional McDonald's markets in Indonesia and Thailand. A close spin-off of the product, the Bubur Ikan McD ("McD's Fish Porridge") also led suit, albeit the latter was only served as a periodical offer.

Among other popular menu items distinct to the Malaysian market includes the Spicy Chicken McDeluxe, a burger with crispy marinated chicken thigh, lettuce and special sauce in a cornmeal bun; the GCB ("Grilled Chicken Burger"), grilled chicken thigh, with iceberg lettuce and chargrilled sauce, served in a toasted sesame seed bun; Nasi Lemak McD, coconut rice set served with traditional sambal sauce, fried chicken, cucumber slices and sunny side up egg; and iced Milo drink. Concurrently, some of the items that are commonly available in the international market has since being discontinued in the Malaysian outlet, including Big N' Tasty and Quarter Pounder.

Similar to McDonald's' business design worldwide, periodical and limited-time offers also generally included in the menu, specialties inspired from local, international and fusion menus have ushered the arrival of Nasi Lemak Burger, Thai Fish Burger with Green Curry Sauce, Hawaiian Deluxe Burger, Mexicana Chicken Burger, Burger ''Syok'' (A Malaysian-styled Burger), among few.

Some of the temporary food-items also would later occasionally return on a periodical basis such in the case of Hot & Spicy McShaker Fries, Spicy Nuggets, Samurai (Japanese styled Burger), Spicy Korean Burger and Rio (Brazilian inspired Burger); while a few being absorbed to be a common Malaysian McDonald's fixture, as the case of GCB Burger, first available briefly in 2010, it later constitute as a permanent item since 2013.

McDonald's Malaysia has also introduced seasonal menus to commemorate major festivals and celebration in the multiracial country. Since 1994, McDonalds Malaysia launched Prosperity Burger during the Chinese New Year festival, the menu was then introduced to Brunei, Singapore, Indonesia, Taiwan and Hong Kong. The burger come in beef and chicken varieties, with black pepper sauce, topped with fresh onions in a sesame seed bun. Additionally, between 2015 and 2018, and in 2021–2024, McDonalds Malaysia has also included Golden Prosperity Burger in the seasonal menu, with a slice of hash brown is also added on the burger patties; and Fish Prosperity Burger, a fish-based option for the menu between 2019 and 2020. The Prosperity Burger is usually served together with curly fries. While during the Muslim holy month of Ramadhan since 2015, the chain would offer the Foldover (equivalent to the McArabia) to its customers, there are two variants of the foldover: Lazeez Foldover (Lazeez, which means "delicious" in Arabic) chicken patties with garlic sauce; and the Mashwi Foldover (Mashwi, meaning "food" in standard Arabic) is grilled beef topped with hot sauce.

In August 2019, the chain also momentary adopted the local pronunciation of "Mekdi" as its alternate name, an act on celebrating its local market during the Malaysian National Day. In 2020, there are 16 Malaysian outlets that endorsed the name as a temporary fixture on its signboard.

In May 2023, McDonald's Malaysia has announced the discontinuation of the Quarter Pounder along with the Spicy Beef Deluxe. Due to the announcement, both of the menus were heavily discounted from its original price for a limited amount of time to clear up the remaining stock. The offer lasted until it was discontinued in the beginning of August 2023 along with the Mega Mac. Other burgers such as Double GCB, Double Spicy Chicken McDeluxe, Double Filet-O-Fish and the Triple Cheeseburger can still be ordered on the menu with additional charges.

It is also the place where the McFtira was sold, a beef or chicken burger with the addition of goat cheese and served in traditional Maltese bread.

Netherlands

In the Netherlands, McDonald's sells the McKroket, a deep-fried roll containing beef ragout, similar to the Dutch " kroket" or the smaller "bitterballen" sold in virtually all snack bars. Dutch McDonald's serve Fritessaus or "American Sauce," a yellow mayonnaise-like sauce not eaten in the United States with French fries. The ChickenSaté burger was also offered, consisting of fried chicken with peanut sauce; this popular food is inspired by the Netherlands' historical connection to Indonesia.

In 2002, the McAfrika burger was introduced in Norway, coinciding with major famines in Southern Africa. The name of the burger drew much negative publicity as being highly insensitive. The burger with vegetables were placed in pita bread.

In 2009, a blueberry milkshake themed around Julenatt i Blåfjell (as opposed to Grimace) was released, apparently without asking the Blåfjell franchise's creator and licence granter Gudny Hagen for permission or giving her advance notice. The milkshake was delisted some months later.

French fries may be substituted with McDonald's version of poutine. Previously, McDonald's poutine was available widely only in Francophone Canada (Quebec and parts of New Brunswick) and available elsewhere on a more limited basis; however, in December 2013, McDonald's formally announced the nationwide availability of poutine at all of its Canadian restaurants due to popular demand.

As in the United States, the McRib periodically appears on the menu for limited runs. The crispy chicken patty used in the McChicken sandwich sold in Canada uses both white and dark meat – it is essentially the same size and taste as the original McChicken that first appeared in the US in 1980.

Regionally a blueberry-shortbread McFlurry is also available.

However, it was only available at McDonald's restaurants in Brisbane. Satirical news outlets jokingly claimed that the burger was revamped to include horse meat, as the term "bronco" refers to a bucking horse, and the Brisbane Broncos' logo features a horse. However, the burger was actually made of beef, as horse meat is not only not sold at McDonald's, but is also very rarely sold in Australia.
