McDonald's Unveils Angus Snack Wraps

LOS ANGELES -- McDonald's restaurants nationwide are launching Angus Snack Wraps, a portable version of the Angus Third Pounder, first unveiled in Southern California in 2007.

Angus Snack Wraps feature half of an Angus third-pound patty wrapped in a soft flour tortilla and available in the familiar varieties, such as Deluxe, Bacon & Cheese and Mushroom & Swiss.

"The Angus Third Pounder originated in Southern California and we're proud of its success locally and across the nation," stated Neal Ruby, president of the 600-restaurant McDonald's Operators' Association of Southern California. "It's no surprise that the same great ingredients that made the Angus Third Pounder such a hit would be used to expand the Snack Wrap line."

Angus Snack Wraps are available at participating McDonald's restaurants for the suggested retail price of $1.99. The line also includes three chicken varieties, which can be ordered with either crispy or grilled chicken: the Ranch Snack Wrap, Honey Mustard Snack Wrap and Chipotle BBQ Snack Wrap.
