McDonald’s Testing McNuggets Without Artificial Preservatives

McDonald’s is testing a new recipe for their Chicken McNuggets which contains no artificial preservatives.

Mickey D’s said it started testing the new recipe in about 140 stores in Oregon and Washington in March, Crain’s Chicago Business reports. There aren’t any details as to what exactly is different about the new recipe, but the company says it’s “simpler” and “parents can feel good” about it.

A spokeswoman for the chain declined to confirm if this means the new recipe could go national this summer, telling Crain’s, “This is very much a test.”

She adds that customers in the Pacific Northwest test market “have responded favorably” to the new recipe.

“More than ever, customers care about where their food comes from and how it is prepared.” That being said, the company is not “making any announcement” about a nationwide launch.
