McDonald's USA Serves Quality Produce

All of the apples McDonald's chooses are harvested to perfection in some of the same apple orchards that supply local grocery stores and fruit stands. The apples we select include Granny Smith, Gala, Jonagold and Empire to name a few. These sweet crisp apples are gently washed and sliced to ensure quality and freshness the moment the customer enjoys their first taste of the Fruit & Walnut salad, opens the package of Apple Dippers or bites into the warm baked apple pie.

Grapes and Walnuts
For McDonald's Fruit & Walnut salad, McDonald's uses USDA 1 red seedless grapes and candied Diamond walnuts.

Did you know? Grapes contain vitamin C and potassium, as well as a small amount of fiber and that walnuts can help lower cholesterol.

McDonald's strawberries are grown from many of the top farms across North America. To ensure quality, McDonald's works with local growers to ensure that the strawberries are grown in the perfect field conditions. Once the strawberries are ripe and ready to be picked, they are inspected for perfection; washed, cut and frozen and then delivered to the restaurant where they are mixed into McDonald's Fruit 'n Yogurt Parfait.

McDonald's provides quality blueberries picked from the bushes in Michigan, the Carolinas and Georgia. Our quality commitment starts in the field and continues through packing, inspection, pre-cooling, warehousing and shipping to our restaurants. Berries are carefully selected for the highest quality and flavor. When they are delivered they are stored frozen to ensure quality, premium taste and nutrition when mixed into our fresh Fruit 'n Yogurt Parfait.
