What Is the Bacon Quarter Pounder®* with Cheese Meal

This meal centers around the Bacon Quarter Pounder® with Cheese, which layers thick-cut applewood smoked bacon on top of a quarter-pound fresh beef patty, cooked to order rather than pre-frozen. The burger is seasoned simply with salt and pepper, then topped with two slices of American cheese, slivered onions, pickles, ketchup, and mustard on a sesame seed bun. The full meal pairs that burger with a medium order of World Famous Fries® and a medium soft drink.

A few numbers stand out here. Saturated fat comes in at around 87% of a typical daily value, sodium sits at about 78%, and added sugar reaches roughly 156%, driven almost entirely by the regular Coca-Cola included in the meal. This is one of the richer combos on McDonald’s menu across the board.

Is It Gluten-Free

No. The bun contains wheat, and the fries include hydrolyzed wheat as part of their beef flavoring, along with a milk derivative, so this meal isn’t suitable for a strict gluten-free diet.

Is It Vegetarian or Vegan

No, on both counts. The burger contains beef and pork bacon, and the fries are also cooked with a beef-derived flavoring, so neither the burger nor the fries fit a vegetarian or vegan diet.

Is the Beef Fresh or Frozen

The Quarter Pounder patty used in this meal is McDonald’s fresh, never-frozen beef, cooked to order rather than pre-frozen, which is a key difference from some of the chain’s other burger options.

Customization Options

Most locations allow a good amount of flexibility with this meal. You can select a different medium soft drink, and ingredients like onions, pickles, ketchup, mustard, bacon, or cheese can often be removed on request when ordering through the app or at participating restaurants.
