McDonald's fans were left flabbergasted after learning how one of their most popular menu items is made - sweet and sour sauce. Although this 'shocking revelation' has been uncovered numerous times before, it's been a hot topic recently after two Australian radio hosts, Jase and Lauren, revealed what the dip is made from.
Host Lauren explained that the sauce is actually made up of apricot puree, soy sauce, spices, dried red bell pepper, and caramelised sugar syrup. The McDonald's UK website even describes it as 'a sweet/sour apricot flavour, lightly spiced with a sour aftertaste.'
Needless to say, this fruity news has rocked McDonald's fans - including the co-host of the radio show. Jase said while throwing a half-eaten chicken nugget away, "I hate apricot...I can taste the apricot now."
However, some hardcore McDonald's fans are questioning why people are only finding out about this now, with one person explaining, "Sweet n Sour is essentially apricot jam and white vinegar."
This news follows on from other recent shock discoveries, such as the function of the buttons on the fast food chain's drinks lids, and the axing of a beloved Greggs bake from the menu.
