CLEVELAND, Ohio — A former McDonald’s corporate chef went viral on TikTok for sharing a storebought dupe for the fast food chain’s secret Big Mac sauce.
Big Macs have been a staple on McDonald’s menu since the 1960s. The iconic sandwich includes two beef patties stacked between three buns. The burgers are topped with American cheese, pickle slices, onions, shredded lettuce, and Big Mac sauce.
The Big Mac sauce has been long touted as a secret since its inception, although many people have attempted to recreate their own version of the sauce. It is tougher to find a premade version that tastes exactly like the original, but TikTok user @chefmikeharacz thinks they found the closest thing.
The former chef did some extensive research to compare the ingredients and nutrition facts of Big Mac sauce and many store-bought brands. The closest option was Walmart’s Great Value brand of Secret Sauce. “It’s almost identical,” the chef said. “When you taste it you’ll notice it’s slightly sweeter, but this is the closest thing you could get from the supermarket that is almost exactly like Big Mac sauce from McDonald’s.”
Walmart sells a bottle of its Great Value Secret Sauce for $2.28 and it’s advertised to put on burgers and for dipping. The ingredients include familiar items like pickle relish, soybean oil, egg yolks, and spices.
