McDonald’s is making five new changes to its menu in Ireland and they’re bringing back the iconic Smarties McFlurry.
The fast food chain have announced that they will be adding a bacon roll to the new menu also.
The new menu kicks in on June 26 and will be available in all Irish restaurants.
McDonlad’s are aiming to give the menu a healthy boost by adding a range of new chicken salads with a choice of crispy or grilled chicken with a balsamic dressing for under 300 calories.
The change to the breakfast menu will now offer a bacon roll that consists of three strips of bacon on a sourdough-style bun and a choice of brown sauce or ketchup.
After the Smarties McFlurry was taken off the menu there was uproar due to its popularity.
The fan favourite ice cream is making a permanent return to the menu along with the Oreo and Malteasers ones.
The popularity in McDonald’s wraps has also risen and they have decided to add a new one to the list.
The Hot Cajun Chicken One gives customers the choice between chicken breast strips or grilled chicken with a Cajun sauce, Pepper Jack cheese, tomato, jalapeño slices and lettuce in a tortilla wrap.
Last month it was announced that the restaurant was also adding cucumber sticks to the Happy Meal menu.
The global company are stepping away from plastic packaging by changing the single-use plastic packaging on their salads to cardboard.
All main meals and salads will now be served in sustainable and renewable cardboard packaging.
McDonald’s say that this move will reduce 102 metric tonnes of plastic they use annually.
As well as stopping the use of plastic bowls, shaker salad cups and lids, McDonald’s are also starting to phase out McFlurry lids which will reduce 383 metric tons of plastic annually.
The fast food giant is planning a number Live Your Best Lunch events across Dublin, Cork and Galway in order to move people away from desk eating and sample the new menu for free.
These events will be held on June 26 to encourage people to treat themselves during the summer.
The events will see activities such as Pound Fit, ukulele lessons and paint classes in the restaurants.
