HONOLULU (KHON2) — French fry lovers nationwide are noticing a major change in the packaging of a popular fast food chain’s salty snack.
If you haven’t noticed, the well-known red cartons for McDonald’s French fries are gone.
Instead, all sizes of fries come in white bags, similar to the wrapper for the small fry.
So why the change?
KHON2 reached out to McDonald’s management, who said it’s a change on Oahu and Maui, to comply with food packaging rules passed by the counties.
The rules vary across the state, but recent bans have focused on disposable plastics and anything that uses PFAS, forever chemicals.
