Salt is per portion as served, from McDonald's UK published nutrition information, checked August 2026. NHS daily maximums are 6g for adults and ages 11 and over, 5g for ages 7 to 10 and 3g for ages 4 to 6. Discontinued items are excluded.

Frequently asked questions

Which McDonald's item has the most salt?+

The 9 Chicken Selects Sharebox at 4.7g. Boone measures that as 78% of an adult's 6g daily limit and 157% of the 3g limit for a four to six year old. Boone ranks all 151 McDonald's UK items on salt per portion as served.

How much salt is in a Big Mac?+

2.1g, which Boone ranks 18th of 32 in the burgers and chicken section and measures as 35% of an adult's daily limit. A Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese is higher at 2.8g.

Does any McDonald's item exceed the daily salt limit?+

Not for an adult. Boone's ranking shows nothing on the UK menu reaches the 6g adult limit or the 5g limit for a seven to ten year old. Four items exceed the 3g limit for a four to six year old, all of them sharing portions or large burgers.

How much salt is in a Happy Meal?+

The Cheeseburger Happy Meal is highest at 1.69g, which Boone measures as 56% of a four to six year old's entire daily salt limit and 34% of a seven to ten year old's. The Filet-O-Fish Happy Meal is 1.49g.

Which McDonald's breakfast has the most salt?+

The Breakfast Wrap with Ketchup at 2.6g, which Boone measures as 43% of an adult's daily limit. Boone's breakfast ranking covers 24 items and runs down to Pancake Syrup at zero.

Do McDonald's milkshakes contain salt?+

Yes, and more than most people expect. Boone records a large Chocolate Milkshake at 0.85g, which is higher than any dip on the menu and higher than a portion of fries. It comes from the milk and the syrup rather than added salt.

How much salt is in McDonald's dips?+

Boone ranks Spicy Mayo highest at 0.84g, ahead of the other mayonnaise-based dips. Individually small, but Boone flags dips as the item most often left out when people add up a meal.

Which McDonald's items have no salt?+

Boone records 14 items at zero, including Pancake Syrup, the sweetener sachets, Tropicana Orange Juice and several of the zero sugar soft drinks.

What are the daily salt limits by age?+

Boone applies the NHS maximums: 6g a day from age 11 upwards, 5g for ages 7 to 10 and 3g for ages 4 to 6. Unlike energy requirements, these do not differ between males and females, so this ranking has no sex split.

Where does Boone get its salt data?+

Boone uses McDonald's UK published nutrition information, per portion as served, checked in August 2026. Each size is listed separately, and sharing items are shown at their full pack value and marked accordingly.

Is salt or sugar the bigger issue on the McDonald's menu?+

On Boone's rankings, sugar. Nineteen items exceed an adult's entire daily free sugar limit, with a large Vanilla Milkshake at 200% of it. No item on the menu reaches an adult's daily salt limit, and the highest is 78%.

Which McDonald's dessert has the most salt?+

Muffins, at around 0.44g, which comes from the raising agents rather than added salt. Boone ranks desserts as the section where salt matters least against a daily limit.
