McDonald's US Sauces & Condiments: calories, sugar and sodium for every item

A dip is a small cup with a large effect. Honey carries 11g of added sugar, over the 10g per-meal limit on its own, while Mighty Hot Sauce and Spicy Buffalo carry 530mg and 520mg of sodium, over a third of the daily limit for a child aged 4 to 8. Choosing a dip is usually a trade between sugar and salt.

The 11 items in this section range from 0 calories for the McDonald's US Mustard Packet up to 110 calories for the McDonald's US Creamy Chili McCrispy Strip Dip. Boone measures added sugar against the US per-meal limit and sodium against limits by age and sex, and the calculator on every page can switch to UK guidance.
