FAQs : Sausage McGriddles®

1. What is a Sausage McGriddles® made of?

The Sausage McGriddles® consists of a seasoned pork sausage patty nestled between two soft, warm griddle cakes that are infused with sweet maple flavor. It does not include cheese by default. The griddle cakes give a pancake-like texture and taste with embedded syrup flavor, making it a sweet and savory breakfast sandwich.

2. How many calories does it have?
A single Sausage McGriddles® contains 430 calories. These calories primarily come from carbohydrates in the maple griddle cakes and fats in the sausage patty. It’s considered a moderate-calorie item in McDonald’s breakfast range.

3. Is it available all day?
No, the Sausage McGriddles® is part of McDonald’s breakfast-only menu and typically available only during breakfast hours, which are usually from store opening until around 10:30 AM or 11:00 AM, depending on the location. It’s not part of the All-Day Breakfast menu that was available in the past.

4. Can I add cheese?
Yes, customers can customize their Sausage McGriddles® by adding cheese or other extras like bacon or egg when ordering through the McDonald’s app, kiosk, or in-store, depending on regional availability. A popular custom version is the Sausage, Egg & Cheese McGriddles®.

5. Does it contain dairy?
Yes, the Sausage McGriddles® is not dairy-free. The griddle cakes contain whey and buttermilk powder, which are both dairy-derived ingredients. Additionally, trace dairy could be present due to cross-contact on the grill or cooking equipment.

6. Is it a good protein source?
The sandwich contains 11 grams of protein, which comes mainly from the pork sausage patty. While it’s not a high-protein meal, it provides a decent amount for a quick breakfast option and can be enhanced by adding egg or cheese for more protein.

7. Does the sausage include artificial flavors?
No, the pork sausage patty used in Sausage McGriddles® is made with natural flavors and traditional seasonings, such as salt, pepper, and spices. McDonald’s states there are no artificial preservatives or flavors in the sausage.

8. Is it gluten-free?
No, the Sausage McGriddles® is not gluten-free. The griddle cakes are made from enriched wheat flour, and may contain other gluten-containing ingredients. It also shares cooking surfaces with items that contain gluten, which increases the risk of cross-contamination.

9. Can I order it gluten-free?
Unfortunately, McDonald’s does not offer a gluten-free griddle cake or bread alternative for this menu item. If you’re following a strict gluten-free diet, the Sausage McGriddles® is not suitable, and cross-contact cannot be ruled out.

10. Does it contain soy?
Yes, the Sausage McGriddles® does contain soy ingredients. Specifically, soy lecithin and soybean oil are used in the griddle cakes and possibly in the sausage patty. It is not soy-free, and those with soy allergies should avoid it.
