McDonald’s Snack Wraps differ in the US and UK, drawing complaints in Britain
McDonald’s brought the Snack Wrap back to UK menus on October 6, its first return there since it was discontinued in 2016.

The UK wrap costs £1.99, and customers can upgrade it to a meal with fries and a drink for £5.59.
