McDonald’s has a 50-year legacy of supporting the well-being and overall quality of life for children and families. Here are a few ways in which we support this commitment:

• McDonald’s provides a number of menu choices including Premium Chicken Sandwiches, Premium Salads, Snack Wraps, fresh fruit, low-fat Fruit ‘N Yogurt Parfaits and beverage options like bottled water, apple juice and low-fat milk.
  
  
• In 2004, McDonald’s introduced Happy Meal^® Choices, which offers parents the opportunity to combine an entree with a choice of beverages, including 1 percent low-fat milk or apple juice, and to select Apple Dippers^® instead of a small order of fries.
  
  
• In 1973, McDonald’s became the first quick-service restaurant company to provide nutrition information to customers.
  
  
• Nutrition information is available through the mcdonalds.com Web site, via our toll-free 800 number, on product packaging, on in-restaurant trayliners and through in-restaurant brochures.
  
  
• Our Happy Meal packaging includes well-being messages and activities.
  
  
• McDonald’s is proud of our long heritage of responsible communication with our customers. We continue to play a leadership role in the development of standards that govern our advertising.
