McDonald's Vegan Menu

We’ve outlined everything on McDonald’s allergen menu that is vegan. Check out our McDonald’s vegan menu to see everything that is vegan at McDonald’s.

Just because you’re vegan doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be able to enjoy fast food. Sometime’s it’s also necessary if you are out and it’s the only thing near you.

Background: McDonald’s began in California in 1954. It is one of the biggest American chain fast food restaurants worldwide with almost 40,000 locations. Even though they are known for their burgers and fries, there are still some (very few) McDonalds creations that you can have as well if you are vegan.

IT’S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT IN ANY RESTAURANT, BUT ESPECIALLY IN FAST FOOD RESTAURANTS, THAT CROSS CONTAMINATION MAY HAPPEN WITH OTHER PRODUCTS.

The safest thing to do is to check the ingredient list or allergen pamphlet at the fast food restaurant every time you go. Fast food restaurants are known to add, change, or update products often and updates to our site may not always happen as quickly as they change. We do our best to provide the most accurate information possible.

While we did our absolute best to make sure this information is accurate, based on research, we cannot guarantee correctness.

This information was obtained from the restaurant chain websites, customer service, or other printed data. We have listed the foods that were identified by the respective fast food chains as not containing animal ingredients, and wherever possible, those that have also been noted as high risk for cross-contamination. However, as a third-party reporter, we do not and cannot guarantee their accuracy. Please do not hesitate to let us know if you see information that is not up to date.

This list only covers US based restaurants. Please note that even if you have one of these restaurants in your country, the ingredients may differ.

Lastly, we have not verified sugar sources (for bone char free sugar) and do include items that have palm sugar. If this is a concern for you, we recommend reaching out to the company directly.
