The Sun Online has contacted McDonald’s about the authenticity of the condiment ingredients.
The Special Sauce was created by franchise owner Jim Delligatti, who invented the Big Mac in 1968.
The top-secret formula was tweaked over the years, but the original recipe remained until 1991.
However it was changed back to the original recipe in 2004.
McDonald's gave away 10,000 bottles of the Big Mac sauce in America in January as part of a special promotion.

Meanwhile, blogger Kelly Brinker has created a recipe that lets you make a similar sauce at home, using just seven ingredients.
She recommends placing mayonnaise, sweet pickle relish, white vinegar, salt, French dressing, sugar and finely minced white onion in a bowl.
