FAQs
1. Can I swap the fries for something else?
Yes. Most locations allow you to replace fries with a side salad (where available) or apple slices for a lighter alternative.
2. Is the beef in the cheeseburger “real”?
Yes. McDonald’s cheeseburgers are made with 100% pure beef, free from fillers, additives, or preservatives, and seasoned with just salt and pepper after cooking.
3. Why do the fries contain milk and wheat?
In the U.S., the fries include natural beef flavoring made using hydrolyzed wheat and milk during processing, which is why they contain those allergens.
4. Can I order a Cheeseburger Meal without onions?
Yes. You can customize your burger to remove onions, pickles, or other toppings through the app, kiosk, or when ordering.
5. How many patties are in a Cheeseburger Meal?
The standard Cheeseburger Meal includes one beef patty. For two patties, you would order a Double Cheeseburger Meal instead.
