McDonald's Cuties

In the US, fast food chain McDonald's has announced that it is reintroducing Cuties mandarins to its menus until early May.

According to the group, the return of the easy-peeler is a move to help families make nutrition-minded choices fun and easy, while also being part of its wider commitment with the Alliance for a Healthier Generation and the Clinton Global initiative.

McDonald's has served 38m Cuties in Happy Meals and a la carte since first being introduced in December 2014.

It is one of a number of 'Wellness changes' that the group has made in recent years, which also includes serving over 1.7bn childrens' meals with sides of fruit (Cuties and apple slices) and low-fat dairy since 2012, and providing more than 1.5bn packages of apples slices in kids meals since March 2012.
