By GlobalData“Starting this month, we’ll be phasing out our McCafé Bakery line-up, including the Apple Fritter, Blueberry Muffin and Cinnamon Roll.
“We know goodbyes are never easy — but fans can still satisfy their sweet tooth with our iconic Chocolate Chip Cookies, Baked Apple Pie and frozen desserts at restaurants nationwide.”
McDonald’s first launched the McCafé Bakery items in October 2020 to accompany its sweet menu, which includes sundaes and McFlurries.
The latest development comes shortly after McDonald’s decided to temporarily remove tomatoes from its burgers and wraps in some locations in India.
The decision was driven by concerns associated with spiralling prices, supply and the quality of tomatoes in the country.
