We tried McDonald's Snack Wraps in the US and UK. We can see why the British are up in arms about the 'downgraded' item.

After sparking disappointment from fans in the UK, we compared both versions of McDonald's snack wraps in the US and UK.

Roya Shahidi/Business Insider & Erin McDowell/Business Insider McDonald's just relaunched its fan-favorite Snack Wrap in the UK.

Fans were left disappointed by the "downgraded" menu item.

We tried the US and UK versions of McDonald's Snack Wraps to see how they compare.

The Snack Wrap has officially landed overseas.

McDonald's brought the fan-favorite item back to UK menus on October 6, marking its first appearance there since it was discontinued in 2016.

Much like in the US , British fans spent years calling for its return — and McDonald's finally answered.

However, shortly after the launch, The Sun reported that a few British McDonald's customers were disappointed by the "downgraded" menu item, lamenting the removal of cheese from the wraps and calling it "a bit plain" on social media.

We decided to put each version to the test.

Our London-based reporter, Roya Shahidi, thought the UK's version of the Snack Wrap, while light and crispy, was disappointing overall and needed cheese.

On the other hand, our US-based reporter Erin McDowell was impressed by the flavorful sauces and crispy chicken tenders included in each of her wraps.

Here's how McDonald's Snack Wraps in the US and the UK compare in terms of taste and value.
