Each figure averages the latest delivery listing at every sampled location that listed the sauce, weighted equally per location. These are not in-store or national prices. Calories show as Not verified until checked against official U.S. product pages.
Sauces that are not in this table, such as any limited-time or returning flavor, were not observed in the delivery sample. That does not mean a restaurant cannot offer them; it means we have no price to show.
Packets, breakfast condiments and add-ons
Breakfast menu pricesDelivery menus also itemize single packets and breakfast spreads. Most cost a few cents each; syrup is the most expensive condiment observed.

Delivery averages per unit. Green Chile appears in the same dataset as the Green Chile Double Cheese burger; we have not verified where it is offered, so treat it as possibly regional. Whether hotcakes or biscuits include syrup, butter or jam in a given restaurant is not documented here.
Which sauces come with nuggets or strips?
10-piece McNuggetsThe dataset records what a sauce costs as a separate delivery line. It does not record how many sauces, if any, a nuggets or strips order includes.
We have not confirmed an official U.S. statement on the number of included sauces per McNuggets or McCrispy Strips size. Restaurants and channels can differ, and a delivery listing may charge for a sauce that a counter order would hand over at no extra cost. Check the item's options in the official app or on your delivery listing before ordering.
These totals apply only if each sauce is charged separately. All figures are delivery averages from the same channel and window.

Nutrition and allergen disclosures
Nutrition explorerSauces can add calories, sugar and sodium to an order, and several contain common allergens. We show figures only after checking them on official U.S. pages.
Calories, sodium, sugar and allergen statements for the sauces and condiments on this page have not yet been recorded from official U.S. McDonald's product pages. Until they are, every nutrition cell reads Not verified. A missing allergen entry means unknown, never allergen-free.
McDonald's U.S. full menu links each available sauce to its own product page, which carries the official nutrition and ingredient and allergen information. Shared kitchens mean cross-contact is possible; rely on the official disclosure and ask the restaurant if you have an allergy.

Which sauces are free of a specific allergen?
