Scores use the UK nutrient profiling model 2018, published by the Department of Health and Social Care in January 2026, computed per 100g from portion weights collected by Boone. Points are given for energy, saturated fat, free sugars and salt, then subtracted for protein, fibre and fruit, vegetable, nut and seed content. A lower score is better. Foods scoring 4 or more and drinks scoring 1 or more are classed as less healthy.

Fibre is McDonald's own published figure. Fruit and vegetable content is scored only where an item is wholly fruit or vegetables, which covers the Side Salad and the Tropicana juices; it is scored as zero elsewhere, which understates the salads. Free sugars exclude the lactose in dairy, deducted at 1.3g for every gram of milk protein.

Happy Meals are excluded because the model scores products rather than meals, and dips, sauces and other condiments are excluded because a per 100g score is meaningless for a sachet or pot. Discontinued items are excluded. That leaves 109 items.

Frequently asked questions

What is the healthiest thing at McDonald's UK?+

The Side Salad at -4, on the government's 2018 nutrient profiling model. It picks up almost no penalty points and earns the full five points for being wholly vegetable. Plain Porridge follows at -3.

What is the healthiest burger at McDonald's?+

Among beef burgers, none score well: the best is the Big Mac at 12, and the worst score 18. The chicken range does far better, with 6 Chicken McNuggets and the Crispy Tikka Chicken Wrap at -1 and the Spicy McCrispy at 0.

What is the healthiest McDonald's breakfast?+

Plain Porridge at -3, then Porridge with Sugar at -2 and Flahavan's Quick Oats at -1. The McMuffins all score 10 or more.

Which McDonald's drinks pass?+

Water, the zero sugar soft drinks and plain coffee and tea, along with the Latte, Cappuccino and Flat White at -1. The Tropicana juices score 4 even after earning five points for being fruit, because the model counts juice sugar as free sugar.

How many McDonald's items are above the government threshold?+

Boone scores 75 of the 109 ranked items above it: 44 of 64 foods score 4 or more, and 31 of 45 drinks score 1 or more.

Why does a Spicy McCrispy score better than a Big Mac?+

One rule. Boone records the Spicy McCrispy at 7 penalty points, so it keeps its protein credit and finishes at 0. The Big Mac reaches 14 penalty points, mostly from saturated fat, free sugars and salt, and the model withholds protein credit once an item hits 11. It scores 12.

Are McDonald's fries healthier than a cheeseburger?+

On this model, yes: Boone records fries at 0 and a Cheeseburger at 17. Fries carry little saturated fat or sugar and plenty of fibre, which the 2018 model rewards. The model does not account for cooking method or processing, which is why Boone publishes an ingredient ranking alongside this one.

Do mini McFlurries score better than regular ones?+

Slightly, because McDonald's lists them with a different composition per 100g. Boone records the Oreo Mini McFlurry at 13 and the Oreo McFlurry (Regular) at 15. Every McFlurry is still classed as less healthy.

What is the nutrient profiling model?+

It is the UK government's method for classifying food and drink as less healthy. Points are added for energy, saturated fat, free sugars and salt, then subtracted for protein, fibre and fruit, vegetable, nut and seed content, all per 100g. The Department of Health and Social Care published the updated 2018 version in January 2026, which is the one Boone uses.

Is this the model used for the current HFSS rules?+

Not yet. The advertising and promotion restrictions in force run on the earlier 2004/05 model. The 2018 version was published in January 2026 and has not yet been applied to policy. Boone uses it because it measures free sugars rather than total sugars and salt rather than sodium, in line with current dietary recommendations.

Does a high score mean an item is unsafe?+

No. The model is a classification threshold for advertising and promotion rules, not a health warning. It measures composition per 100g and says nothing about portion size, cooking method or how often something is eaten. Boone publishes separate rankings for calories, sugar, salt and ingredient count.

Why are Happy Meals and dips not included?+

Because the model scores products, not meals, so a single score across a main, side and drink would not mean anything. Dips and sauces are left out because a per 100g score for a 25g pot says little about what it adds to a meal.

Where does Boone get the data?+

From McDonald's UK published nutrition information, including its fibre figures, together with portion weights collected by Boone and converted to per 100g as the model requires. Fruit and vegetable content is not published, so it is scored only for items that are wholly fruit or vegetables.
