McDonald’s Adds Two New Sauces To Their Menu
McDonald’s is switching things around when it comes to condiment options, debuting two new limited-edition sauces this fall.
On Tuesday, the company announced they are introducing the new sweet and spicy jam and mambo sauce. The name “Sweet & Spicy Jam” accurately describes this condiment, which combines the heat of Szechuan peppercorn and cayenne pepper with a jam-like texture. The fiery spiciness is balanced by the sweetness of the jelly base and a touch of tangy apple cider vinegar. Therefore, it is suggested to complement this spicy jam-like sauce with offerings from McDonald’s breakfast menu, such as hash browns or a range of McMuffins, biscuits, and McGriddles available.
Mambo sauce falls somewhere between ketchup and barbecue sauce. Crafted from a tomato base, it boasts a delightful blend of sweetness, spiciness, and a tangy kick from the vinegar. This versatile condiment complements any item on the McDonald’s menu that you’d usually enjoy with ketchup or barbecue sauce.
The company developed these new sauces by experimenting with “the incredible tastes and flavors found in communities across the country,” Tariq Hassan, chief marketing and customer experience officer at the chain, stated in a news release.
The sauces “live at the intersection of flavor and culture-pulling [sic] from decades of rich food history and tradition in local restaurants and home kitchens, and bringing the delicious spice, sweetness and kick of heat we know today’s customers are craving.”
McDonald’s announced a collaboration with six foodie content creators who will review the sauces and provide customers with pairing suggestions through their TikTok channels.
The creators are: @Mr.Eats305, @sharidyonne, @santanakeish, @misslegarda, @natelovlogs and @blackgirlsexploredc.

This year, McDonald’s has implemented various menu-related changes. Just last week, Spicy Chicken McNuggets made a return to the McDonald’s menu. Additionally, in early August, the Peanut Butter Crunch McFlurry was introduced as a limited-time offer.
According to Fox News, McDonald’s will publish a documentary on its YouTube channel “sharing the real stories of the sauce makers, restaurateurs, small business owners and fans keeping the culture of Mambo strong.”
