If you have been missing McDonald’s Snack Wrap since it disappeared from menus nearly a decade ago, you are not alone. The good news? The Snack Wrap is officially coming back to U.S. locations starting July 10, 2025. That is right—after nine long years, McDonald’s is answering your cravings.
Joe Erlinger, president of McDonald’s USA, made it official in a statement on Tuesday, saying simply, “It’s back.” That one line was all it took to send Snack Wrap fans into a frenzy.
What is in the McDonald’s snack wrap?
In case you need a refresher, the Snack Wrap is made with a white-flour tortilla filled with chicken (crispy or grilled), shredded lettuce, cheddar jack cheese, and ranch or honey mustard sauce. It is a handheld, snack-size option that is both satisfying and easy to eat on the go.
The original concept launched nearly 20 years ago as a smaller, lighter alternative to burgers and full-size sandwiches. And clearly, it struck a chord. Despite its removal, fans never stopped asking for it.
Why did McDonald’s remove the snack wrap in the first place?
You are probably wondering—if it was so popular, why did they ever take it off the menu? Well, McDonald’s pulled the Snack Wrap in 2016 because it was too complex for their kitchens to prepare quickly.
According to the company, it slowed down service times and made kitchen operations more difficult. Given how much emphasis fast food places put on speed, this became a major problem. So, unfortunately for Snack Wrap lovers, it was quietly removed. But ever since then, fans have been very vocal about wanting it back.
Why is McDonald’s bringing back the snack wrap now?
You can thank years of customer feedback. Social media has been filled with requests, petitions, and even memes begging McDonald’s to bring the Snack Wrap back. Apparently, the demand never died down.
McDonald’s listened. The company has been working behind the scenes to simplify operations and improve efficiency across its kitchens. That hard work paved the way for the Snack Wrap’s return.
Plus, as food trends shift toward lighter and more customizable items, bringing back the Snack Wrap now just makes sense. It hits the sweet spot for anyone looking for a quick, flavorful bite that does not feel too heavy.
Will the snack wrap be available nationwide?
Yes, McDonald’s has confirmed that the Snack Wrap will roll out nationwide in the U.S. starting July 10. However, keep in mind that availability may vary slightly depending on your location, especially in the first few weeks of the rollout.
So if you are planning to be first in line, you might want to check with your local McDonald’s just to be safe.
Can you customize the snack wrap?
McDonald’s has not released the full customization options yet, but based on previous versions, you can likely choose between crispy or grilled chicken and maybe even select your sauce. With today’s emphasis on personalization, do not be surprised if they give you more flexibility this time around.
