From McDonald's® Canada
McDonald's® Canada wants to inform customers with milk, peanut and tree nut allergies of some changes to cooking procedures and ingredients at its restaurants across Canada, including the McCafé® locations at Exchange Tower and Union Station in Toronto:
McDonald's Canada is using butter as a spread on English muffins, bagels, and McMuffin® and bagel sandwiches. Butter is also used on the grilled cheese sandwiches served at its McCafé locations.
McDonald's Canada is offering the Create Your Taste™ menu featuring custom sandwiches at participating restaurants. The cheese used on these sandwiches is melted on the grill.
McDonald's Canada has eliminated the McFlurry® with Smarties® candies and has replaced it with the McFlurry with M&M's® candies. This new McFlurry flavour includes a "May contain peanuts" precautionary statement in the ingredient list due to the inclusion of the M&M's candies. McDonald's Canada has also included a "May contain peanuts" precautionary statement on the in-restaurant advertising materials because the M&M's candies are a replacement for, and look similar to, the Smarties candies.
McDonald's Canada wants to make customers with milk, peanut and tree nut allergies aware of these cooking procedures and ingredients so they can make an informed choice when ordering at McDonald's and McCafé locations.
