McDonald's Australia Drops Angus Burgers After 17 Years
19 Jun
Summary
- Angus beef burgers were a popular menu item for 17 years.
- The burgers were initially a promotional item but became permanent.
- McDonald's Australia is exploring new menu innovations.
McDonald's Australia has ceased selling its Angus beef burgers, marking the end of a 17-year menu presence. These premium burgers were first introduced in 2009 as a promotional item and rapidly gained popularity, leading to their permanent inclusion.
The launch in Australia exceeded expectations, with initial weekly sales reaching $2 million. The burgers, initially priced around $6.75, had increased to $17.55 by 2026, significantly higher than a Big Mac.
While Angus burgers were removed from the US menu four years after their introduction due to rising beef prices, the reason for their discontinuation in Australia in May remains undisclosed. McDonald's Australia reiterated its commitment to sourcing 100% Australian beef and indicated a focus on exploring new menu innovations and limited-time offers to maintain customer engagement.
