McDonald's Menu Shakeup: New Bakery Items, J Balvin Meal

Fresh off a successful marketing campaign with rapper Travis Scott, McDonald's Corp MCD is launching two new menu additions.

McCafe Bakery: McDonald's announced Wednesday the launch of a new McCafe Bakery Lineup. As Of Oct. 28, the fast-food chain will add a handful of baked items to its all-day menu, including an apple fritter, blueberry muffin and cinnamon roll.

J Balvin Meal: McDonald's seems to be doubling down on a celebrity meal by launching a new partnership with Latin popstar J Balvin.

The new "J Balvin Meal" consists of Balvin's personal favorite order consisting of a Big Mac, a medium fries with ketchup, and an Orea McFlurry for dessert.

Customers who order the new meal through the McDonald's app will receive a discount equal to the value of the McFlurry.

"He's always been a regular at McDonald's restaurants during his concert tours, and now we're excited to bring his go-to order to our menus across the US," Morgan Flatley, McDonald's US chief marketing officer, said in a statement.

The new meal will debut once the Travis Scott meal promotion comes to an end.
