McDonald's 'dips' into sliced apple bags

A plastic pouch containing 2.4 oz of ready-to-eat apple slices is part of McDonald’s new New Happy Meal Choices, aimed at providing parents and children with mix-and-match menu options.

Launched nationally in June, Apple Dippers are served with a low-fat caramel dipping sauce that comes in a separate package.

“Parents and children selecting Happy Meals will be able to choose white or chocolate milk instead of soft drinks, or Apple Dippers instead of fries,” says Cathy Kapica, worldwide nutrition director for Oak Brook, IL-based McDonald’s Corp. “Kids view chocolate milk and Apple Dippers as treats, but moms know they are a nutritious alternative, and we want to continue to help children learn balanced eating habits.”
