McDonald's trialling new box of fries for deliveries

The chain says they are currently reviewing the results from the new packaging.

McDonald’s has confirmed that they are trialling a brand new box for delivering fries.

The new packaging replaces the traditional open-top cone shapes with boxes.

"We have recently been trialling a new box for fries ordered through McDelivery, and are currently reviewing the results. We are always looking at how we can improve our packaging across all products, and this trial is part of that ongoing process," a McDonald’s spokesperson told QSR Media.

The fast food chain has not provided details how many of their 1,300 restaurants are involved in the trial.
