The prospect of a 99p McDonald’s cheeseburger is no more as the fast food giant increases the price of several items on its menu amid the cost of living crisis.
The company is raising the price of its signature cheeseburger for the first time in over 14 years, taking it to £1.19.
It will also add between 10 and 20p to the several menu items it says are impacted the most by inflation.
The chain is one of many companies passing the effect of soaring costs of fuel and ingredients on to its customers, including the consumer goods giant behind the likes of Marmite and Magnums.
Breakfast meals, main meals, large coffees, and McNugget share boxes are among the menu items which could become up to 20p more expensive, a spokesperson for McDonald’s told Sky News.
Salads and wraps are unlikely to be affected.
The changes came into effect on Wednesday.
