In what will be a world-first for the burger chain, 80g bags of sliced apples and grapes will be available on the menu alongside the traditional Big Macs and French fries.


The bag will also be available as a substitute for fries sold in children’s Happy Meals, reported Reuters.


The fastfood chain said the bag of fruit was equivalent to one of the Department of Health’s recommended five-a-day portions of fruit and vegetables.


A US judge recently threw out a lawsuit in which the plaintiffs claimed that McDonald’s food was responsible for children’s obesity.
