McDonald’s fans were left in shock after discovering the surprising ingredient that gives their beloved Sweet ‘N’ Sour sauce its unique flavor. In a recent TikTok video, the secret was revealed, and it turns out that the sauce has an apricot taste. This unexpected revelation left many fans feeling betrayed and others excited to try a new flavor combination.
The TikTok video, shared by a radio show in Melbourne, Australia, showed co-host Lauren Philips breaking the news to her colleague Jason Hawkins. As Jason eagerly dipped his nuggets into the Sweet ‘N’ Sour sauce, Lauren exclaimed, “Would you believe it tastes like apricot?” Jason’s face instantly dropped, and he could no longer enjoy his favorite sauce knowing the secret ingredient.
The video quickly gained attention on TikTok, with many fans expressing their disappointment and shock. Some even said that their favorite sauce had been ruined for them. However, there were also those who found the revelation amusing and couldn’t wait to share it with their loved ones.

While some fans were surprised by the apricot flavor, others wondered how they could have missed this information all along. The official McDonald’s Australia TikTok account even responded to the uproar, suggesting a fun alternative for those who were hesitant to try the sauce with the new knowledge. They recommended dipping soft serve ice cream into the Sweet ‘N’ Sour sauce for a unique and enjoyable experience.
It’s essential to note that not all sweet and sour sauces contain apricot or peach ingredients. The specific blend of caramel color, cellulose gum, salt, xanthan gum, peach puree, dried chili powder, paprika extractives, and onion powder gives McDonald’s sauce its distinct flavor.
Next time you visit McDonald’s, remember that even your favorite fast-food items may have hidden surprises. So, don’t be afraid to try something new or ignite your taste buds by experimenting with unexpected flavor combinations. Happy dipping!
