McDonald's has been accused of withholding sauces from its meals, a policy that restricts the number of sauce packets included with free orders. This policy is believed to be an attempt to deter sauce hoarding by customers. However, customers ordering a four- or six-piece nugget meal will only receive one sauce packet, while ordering a 10-piece increases the sauce packs to two. Additional sauces can be purchased at certain McDonald's locations, but the price will vary depending on location. The policy does not cover certain sauces, such as ketchup or mustard, which are free and numerous.
