Is the Hot Fudge Sundae gluten-free, vegan or vegetarian?

The standard sundae contains dairy ingredients including milk and cream. |
Vegetarian? |
Do not present it as McDonald’s-certified vegetarian |

How Many Calories Are in a Small McDonald’s Hot Fudge Sundae?
Answer: McDonald’s current U.S. product page does not show separate Small, Medium and Large Hot Fudge Sundae sizes. It lists the standard Hot Fudge Sundae at 330 calories.
This matters because searches for “McDonald’s Hot Fudge Sundae calories small” can mix McDonald’s information with other chains that sell multiple sundae sizes.
McDonald’s U.S.
Current product page: one standard Hot Fudge Sundae.
Published calories: 330.
Dairy Queen U.S.
Current Hot Fudge Sundae page provides Small, Medium and Large size choices.
This is one reason “small sundae calories” results can be confusing across chains.
Is the McDonald’s Hot Fudge Sundae Discontinued?
No—not nationally. As checked on July 30, 2026, McDonald’s still lists the Hot Fudge Sundae on both its individual U.S. product page and current Sweets & Treats menu.
Seeing the sundae missing from one app menu does not prove it has been discontinued. McDonald’s mobile ordering is restaurant-specific, and its help center says unavailable products can be marked unavailable for individual locations.
Why might the sundae disappear from one restaurant?
How to Find the McDonald’s Sundae Price Near Me
For the most accurate answer to “McDonald’s sundae price near me,” use the restaurant you will actually visit rather than a national menu chart.
Use your ZIP code, city, address or device location.
Double-check the street address before opening the order menu.
This avoids mixing delivery pricing and fees into the basic restaurant-price comparison.
Look for Hot Fudge Sundae rather than relying on a saved old cart or search-engine snippet.
The displayed local restaurant price is more useful than a nationwide editorial range.
Confirm restaurant, pickup method, tax and any extra topping charges before submitting payment.
Mobile Order & Pay generally appears when location services show that you are within about five miles of a participating McDonald’s. If “Order Here” is muted for a restaurant, Mobile Order & Pay is not enabled there at that time.
