THE COUNTDOWN has begun for foodies anxiously awaiting the return of the McDonald’s Snack Wrap.
As the anticipated menu item heads to all of McDonald’s restaurants in the US, rivals have taken notice and launched their versions.
Fans only have to wait a few more days, as the Snack Wrap comes back to McDonald’s on July 10.
The fast food giant announced the return of the fan favourite item with a social media post simply reading: “Snack wrap 07.10.2025.”
The item was discontinued in 2016, but hung around at some franchised restaurants until 2020.
Fans have been teased that the wrap would return since late December.
The reveal that it was happening came from a leaked memo to staff.
The memo said: “The much anticipated Snack Wrap is back and here to stay as a new core product!
“Snack Wraps come with either Ranch or Spicy Pepper Sauce, shredded lettuce & a shredded blend of mild Cheddar & Monterey Jack cheese on a flour tortilla.”
The return was eventually confirmed by Joe Erlinger, the president of McDonald’s US.
He said: “The Snack Wrap will be back in 2025.
“It has a cult following. I get so many emails into my inbox about this product.”
CEO Christopher Kempczinski agreed that the Snack Wrap has an “incredible energy” behind it as customers await its return.
