Maccas fans disappointed with new launch after retailer left off one key ingredient

Maccas fans have been left bitterly disappointed by one key issue with the new January menu launch, claiming the Aussie Angus burger was missing a key ingredient.

One fan, Russ from Russ Eats on Instagram, rated the burger four out of ten – because the chain left off the egg.

Speaking to his 38k followers the chemical engineer and self-described foodie said he was kicking his segment off ‘with a scandal’.

Russ from Russ Eats, pointed out McDonalds have taken the egg of this year’s Aussie Angus, infuriating him and other burger lovers. The egg still appeared in part of the app on launch day

‘The photo on here , on the app, shows an egg, but when you click into it the egg is gone and not listed in the ingredients,’ he said, outraged.

‘They have either forgotten it here or there is no egg this year,’ he added.

He then pulled up stories of the 2022 release of the burger, which included an egg, and said taking it off is ‘un-Australian’.

Russ ordered on the app and headed to the restaurant to pick up the new items, which also included a potato scallop and Hokey Pokey milkshake.

The pick up confirmed the restaurant had scrapped egg from the popular menu item.

‘No egg,’ he said showing the burger to the camera.

‘Confirmed no egg on the Aussie Angus.’

He confirmed there is no egg and flashed a picture of the burger he got in drive through

Russ said the burger would have scored ‘nine out of ten’ if it had an egg, but gave it a four instead.

He gave the potato scallops three out of ten – because it tasted like a ‘servo scallop’ that ha been under heat lamps too long rather than the superior ‘fish and chip shop’ scallop.

The restaurant’s Hokey Pokey milkshake was good, according to Russ, who gave it a nine out of ten.

Other furious customers have claimed they tried to order the Aussie Angus only to be told there wouldn’t be beetroot on their order.

‘No egg, not beetroot, that isn’t an Aussie burger it is a food crime,’ said one devastated snacker.

Other Maccas fans complained there was no beetroot available when they tried to order the burger online 

Russ scored the burger a 4/10 and said he was also disappointed by the potato scallops

Russ’ fans agreed with his strong stance against the new beef burger.

‘You can’t say a burger is Aussie if there’s no egg. We riot,’ one man wrote.

‘No beetroot, no pineapple I can understand from a giant chain. But no f***ing egg!? They f***ing sell eggs already. I’M lovin’ it NO MORE,’ slammed another.

One staff member said there is a very logical explanation to the lack of egg.

‘They removed the egg because of no longer all day breakfast we don’t cook eggs after then,’ they said.

Daily Mail Australia has reached out to McDonald’s Australia for comment.   

Maccas announced the new menu on Tuesday with the launch going in store on Wednesday.

The new menu also includes a new McSpicy burger which Russ didn’t try on camera.
