McDonald's to Remove High-Fructose Corn Syrup from Sandwich Buns

Dow Jones News
McDonald's Corp. said Monday it will replace high-fructose corn
syrup in its sandwich buns with sugar as part of an ongoing effort
to simplify its ingredients.
The company is also rolling out Chicken McNuggets and some
breakfast items free of artificial preservatives and said it has
curbed the use of chicken raised with antibiotics, a year earlier
than planned.
Mike Andres, president of McDonald's U.S. operations, called the
ingredient swaps a "sweeping change" that will impact 50% of the
McDonald's menu.
The burger giant, which is in the midst of a turnaround it says
revolves around listening to consumers and adapting to their
changing demands, said customers have been asking the company to
remove the controversial sweetener.
