Frequently Asked Questions – McDonald’s Daily Double

The Daily Double is a satisfying burger featuring two 100% pure beef patties seasoned with salt and pepper, topped with melted American cheese, creamy mayonnaise, fresh shredded lettuce, sliced onions, and a juicy Roma tomato, all on a regular toasted bun. Unlike McDonald’s simpler burgers, the Daily Double delivers a fresher, more complex flavor profile thanks to the combination of cool vegetables and mayo.

The Daily Double has approximately 490 calories per sandwich, representing about 25% of a typical 2,000-calorie daily diet. It provides a solid amount of protein and fat, with additional calories coming from the cheese, mayo, and bun. While not as calorie-dense as larger premium sandwiches, it’s still quite filling and satisfying.

No, they’re distinctly different in both taste and ingredients. The Double Cheeseburger features pickles, onions, ketchup, mustard, and two cheese slices—but lacks lettuce, tomato, or mayo. The Daily Double swaps those traditional condiments for shredded lettuce, tomato, and mayonnaise, and includes only one cheese slice. This creates a fresher, creamier taste for the Daily Double, while the Double Cheeseburger leans more savory and tangy.

Yes, it contains multiple common allergens. The bun has wheat, making it unsuitable for gluten-sensitive individuals. The American cheese includes milk and soy, while the mayonnaise contains eggs. If you have allergies to dairy, egg, soy, or wheat, you’ll need to either modify the burger or select a different menu option. McDonald’s also warns that cross-contact may occur in their kitchens.

No, the Daily Double isn’t a permanent fixture on the national menu. Availability differs by location, with some McDonald’s offering it regionally or seasonally. In certain areas, it appears as a value-menu selection, while other locations don’t carry it at all. Always check the McDonald’s app or website to confirm availability in your area.

Yes, McDonald’s permits full customization of the Daily Double. You can remove or add toppings like lettuce, tomato, cheese, onions, or mayo. Extra cheese or alternative sauces can also be requested, depending on location availability. This flexibility makes it simple to tailor the burger to your preferences or dietary requirements.

The beef is 100% pure USDA-inspected beef that’s flash-frozen to preserve freshness and flavor, then grilled fresh to order at each restaurant. The patties contain no fillers, additives, or preservatives—just salt and pepper are used during the cooking process.

No, the Daily Double isn’t vegetarian-friendly since it contains two beef patties plus dairy products like cheese and mayonnaise. McDonald’s doesn’t currently offer a vegetarian Daily Double variant, though you could request a sandwich with just the bun, vegetables, and cheese—but that wouldn’t be the authentic Daily Double.

The Daily Double’s price varies by location and region. It typically falls within the $2.49 to $3.69 range, depending on local pricing and current promotions. It’s positioned as a value burger—offering more substance than a basic Hamburger or McDouble, but costing less than premium burger options.

Yes, if your local McDonald’s stocks the Daily Double, you can order it for pickup or delivery through the McDonald’s app or third-party platforms like Uber Eats, DoorDash, or Grubhub. However, availability still depends on your specific location, so checking the app beforehand is recommended.
