McDonald's Celebrates 50 Years with No Egg Surcharges

Despite a nationwide egg shortage due to avian influenza, McDonald's will not impose surcharges on egg-based menu items, setting it apart from competitors like Denny's and Waffle House. This decision accompanies the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Egg McMuffin, with $1 Egg McMuffins available through the McDonald's app and buy-one-get-one-free deals on the Sausage McMuffin with Egg via McDelivery. McDonald's emphasizes its commitment to maintaining value and quality in its breakfast offerings, which remain a brand cornerstone. The company aims to recover from recent sales slumps and is optimistic about future financial performance. McDonald's will expand its breakfast menu with bagel sandwiches and Krispy Kreme doughnuts by the end of 2026.
