Ex-McDonald\u2019s chef addresses rumors that nuggets are smaller now McDonald’sAn ex-McDonald\u2019s chef has responded to claims that the chain\u2019s nuggets have been made smaller, a suspicion raised by some customers. Mike Haracz was a corporate chef at McDonald\u2019s, and regularly posts updates about menu changes on TikTok. In July, he addressed the viral McOcean burger that\u2019s been circulating, with many customers convinced that they\u2019ve started selling burgers with tiny octopuses inside. Now, he\u2019s addressed speculation surrounding the brand\u2019s $5 meal deal, or specifically, the nuggets included. A customer had reached out to him, saying that the nuggets were \u201csmaller and spongier than before.\u201d Mike said that while he didn\u2019t have \u201cactual data\u201d from McDonalds, there seems to be a \u201clot more shelling,\u201d in the nuggets. Even if smaller, that doesn\u2019t mean worse, as some people in the comments section weighed in on the change, writing: \u201cMine were thinner and crispier yesterday from my $5 meal. Pretty good.\u201d \u201cI know the ones from the USA taste a bit different than the Canadian ones,\u201d another said. \u201cThis isn\u2019t a new $5 meal, the McDonald\u2019s where I live has had it for over a year,\u201d one claimed. McDonald\u2019s brought out its $5 meal box back in June, which includes: Your choice of a McDouble\u00ae or McChicken\u00ae sandwich – Small fries – 4-piece Chicken McNuggets\u00ae – Small soft drink – \u201cValue has always been part of our DNA. We\u2019re focused on living up to that legacy and offering delicious, affordable options customers can enjoy any time they walk through our doors, go through our drive-thru or place an order through our app,\u201d said Joe Erlinger, President of McDonald\u2019s USA. McDonald\u2019s isn\u2019t the only chain that\u2019s brought out a meal deal this year. Pizza Hut, Burger King, Wendy\u2019s and Popeyes all have their own version.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
