McDonald’s Removes Tomatoes from India Menus Due to Quality Concerns and Rising Prices

July 7, 2023

Indian Mcdonalds

Tomatoes have been removed from the Indian Mcdonalds menu due to quality concerns and rising prices. The company said that the tomatoes it was receiving were not meeting its standards, and that the prices had become too high.

The removal of tomatoes has affected a number of Indian Mcdonalds items, including burgers, wraps, and salads. Customers who order these items will now receive them without tomatoes.

The removal of tomatoes from Indian Mcdonalds menus is a sign of the challenges that businesses are facing in India due to the rising price of food. It is unclear how long McDonald’s will keep tomatoes off its menus, but the company said that it is working to find a solution that will allow it to continue to offer its customers the food they love.


Reasons For Indian Mcdonalds Menu Removal of Tomatoes

McDonald’s India is not the only company that has been affected by the rising price of tomatoes. In recent months, the price of tomatoes has skyrocketed in India, due to a number of factors, including a poor harvest and increased demand.

Two of the main reasons given include:

  • Lean production season
  • Monsoon damage to transport and distribution

The Indian government reports that the shortage should only be seasonal, although there have been other concerns about the rising costs of milk.


The tomato shortage does not seem as widespread since McDonald’s franchises in southern and western regions have reported no problems. Additionally, ketchup packets have still been available, and another fast food brand, Subway, has remarked how they still have plenty of tomatoes in stock.
