McDonald's Multigrain Bun in Taiwan

20080719-mcwholewheat-burger.jpg

That's too many seeds for a normal McDonald's bun. Spotted in Taiwan, the "Grilled Chicken Multi Grains" demonstrates the fast food industry's attempt to make us healthier—and what better way than with big, fat seeds. The sandwich isn't currently available in the United States, where the closest alternative is a Premium Grilled Chicken Classic Sandwich on a "toasted honey wheat bakery roll." (No seeds involved.)

Wait... is that a plain ol' white bread bun with seeds, or is the bun actually made with multi-grain?

If it's the former, since when are seeds in the "grain" category??

Exactly. I would hardly call that 'multi-grain'.
I beleive that the product is very decieving to semi-clueless consumers who are attempting to eat healthy.

buyer beware?

side note; the honey one might be nice?

That is a bit scary!

All the seeds would fall off as you attempt to eat the sandwich. So whatever -- if any -- nutritional value the seeds present is gone anyway!

Ha, I guess you are right! They are seeds on the bun, rather than grains in the bun. I do not like that it is so soft. I like the good ol' artisan wheat or multi-grain bread. Well, if only they serve that! :P
Thanks for the feature, Erin and the Serious Eat team.
