What Is in McDonald’s Secret Big Mac Sauce?
Contrary to popular myth, Big Mac Special Sauce is not Thousand Island dressing and contains zero ketchup or tomato paste. Its signature orange hue comes entirely from a blend of sweet paprika, turmeric, and caramel color.
The base of the sauce combines creamy mayonnaise (soybean oil and egg yolks) with tangy sweet pickle relish, yellow mustard, white wine vinegar, onion powder, and garlic powder.
When ordering at the counter, kiosk, or drive-thru, you can ask for extra Big Mac sauce on your burger—or request a side cup of Big Mac sauce to dip your World Famous Fries or Chicken McNuggets!
