Fast food giant McDonald's has left shoppers 'shaken' after they discovered a 'rogue' ingredient inside its Sweet 'n' Sour dip. The dipping sauce is popular with McDonald's goers, and is particularly delicious when paired with chips and nuggets.
But many people don't actually realise what the main ingredient inside the delicious dipping pot is. Now they've found out, and one shopper was so horrified, she says the delivery left her 'shaken'.
May Gillott, 27, claims to have been left 'shaken' after finding out her favourite sauce contained fruit, having never even so much as 'associated' the condiment with fruit. Sharing her curious discovery online, Evan-May asked others to try and guess what fruit the iconic sauce actually contained. Many were left just as thunderstruck as she had been by the answer, with one person positively aghast that 'the worst fruit to exist makes the tastiest sauce'.

Taking to TikTok, with a video that has since clocked up more than 242,000 views and 13,000 likes, Evan-May asked her followers: "Am I the only one who didn't know what fruit it is made from until today?"
The TikTok user then went on to reveal that the fruity ingredient was in fact apricot, not pineapple or mango as some had wrongly guessed, leaving many of her followers in a state of complete astonishment.
One person gasped: "I was 100% convinced it was pineapple, maybe cos they put it in the little tubs when you get a Chinese". Evan-May recalled: "When I found out it was apricot I was shaken to my core as didn’t even associate it with fruit. I’ve eaten sweet ’n’ sour sauce from McDonald's for years to go with my chippies, I’ve always loved it.
"About a week ago I won a free meal through monopoly and whilst eating the sauce I just became curious about what it was actually made of. So I read the ingredients and was completely shocked to find out it was from apricots."
"I’ve never actually thought about it, but now I’m wondering about all sorts of condiments - I mean what about brown! They’re just so elusive." She added: "I assumed that everybody wouldn’t know as well, so had to share my discovery with my fellow McDonald’s lovers. Turns out everybody is as surprised as me, and I’ve even now found out the curry sauce uses apricot as well."
