Why is it important to check their website before each visit? The McDonald's ingredients list is often updated and quite extensive. Each section is split into two parts. It first lists off the menu item, and what comes with that menu item. It then lists ingredients of each element of that menu item. The document is 30 pages long, so it is quite extensive, as it should be.
What else do you need to know about eating at McDonald's? There is definitely a risk of cross contamination, so approach with caution. Just like when you are eating at any other restaurant ask if they can clean utensils and clean the food prep surface for you to help reduce the risk.
