Blue and white McDonald’s food wrappers not connected to current Israel-Gaza conflict

A viral video claims McDonald’s has changed its packaging to show support for Israel during its current conflict with Gaza. But the fast food chain has said this is not true and the wrappers have been used for several years. 

The video is filmed by a customer reportedly in Chicago who receives her order in a white wrapper that has blue stripes and an ‘M’ outlined in blue. She asks two staff members why the packaging resembles the Israeli flag and one responds that the wrapping is not new while another says it has been introduced recently. 

The woman says: “This is the colour of their [Israel] flag […] This is a big company, it should not be changing the wrapping […] I’m just really upset that I got my order and I got this flag.”
