Where to Buy McDonald’s Sausage Patties in Australia

McDonald’s sausage patties are a popular menu item that Australians love. The sausage patties are used in various McDonald’s breakfast sandwiches like the Sausage McMuffin. But what if you want to enjoy these tasty sausage patties at home or cook your own McDonald’s-inspired meals? Here’s where you can buy McDonald’s sausage patties in Australia.

Purchasing McDonald’s Sausage Patties

Unfortunately, McDonald’s does not sell their sausage patties for retail or wholesale purchase in Australia. The sausage patties are produced exclusively for McDonald’s restaurants. So the only way to get the actual McDonald’s sausage patties is to order a sandwich at a McDonald’s location.

Some McDonald’s locations may sell you a certain number of loose sausage patties if you ask nicely, but this is not a guarantee. Your best bet is to order a Sausage McMuffin or other sandwich containing the patties and remove the patty yourself.

Finding Similar Sausage Patties

Since you can’t buy the McDonald’s patties directly your next best option is to find a very similar pre-made frozen sausage patty product. The main brands that produce these types of patties in Australia include

• Don Smallgoods
• Hans Continental Smallgoods
• Bulla Foods
• Scotchmere
• Woolworths Essentials

These brands offer frozen sausage patties inbulk or individual packs. You can easily cook them at home to create your own McDonald’s-style sandwich. The patties are typically 100% Aussie beef and seasoned similarly to the McDonald’s ones.

Here are some places you can purchase pre-made frozen sausage patties in Australia

• Woolworths – The Woolworths Essentials frozen sausage patties are stocked at most Woolworths supermarkets. They come in packs of 4 or 20.

• Coles – Coles stocks a variety of branded sausage patties including Don, Hans, and Bulla foods varieties. Check the frozen breakfast section.

• IGA – Many IGA supermarkets carry frozen sausage patties from Bulla Foods or Scotchmere in the frozen aisles.

Always check the ingredients and nutrition info to find a sausage patty product that is similar to McDonald’s in terms of size, shape, seasoning, fat content, etc. Bulla and Hans patties tend to be closest matches.

Making Your Own Sausage Patties

If you want complete control over the flavor and ingredients, you can also make your own sausage patties from scratch.
