Joe Erlinger, President of McDonald's USA, has addressed several issues in media appearances. In September 2025, he stated that McDonald's supports a policy of "no tax on tips," describing contrary reports as "fake news." He also discussed the return of the Extra Value Meal, saying that value is part of McDonald's DNA and that the company is focused on lowering prices and bringing value to consumers. In late 2024, Erlinger apologized to customers following an E. coli outbreak linked to Quarter Pounders with slivered onions, stating that the company "let people down." He said McDonald's took "swift and decisive action" by removing the Quarter Pounder from select states and working with the CDC, USDA, and FDA. Erlinger expressed confidence that customers could safely eat at McDonald's and emphasized that food safety is a priority across the company's restaurants and supply chain. He also announced the return of the Snack Wrap in 2025 and a new "McValue" platform launching in January 2025. Regarding pricing, Erlinger acknowledged that inflation has impacted the business and that customers are "really stretched," but he described a viral $18 Big Mac as an outlier and said the company is committed to value through offerings like the $5 meal deal.
