Hesburger stops selling children’s meals. This is how McDonald’s and Burger King intend to act.
We asked other fast food chains in Finland what will happen to children’s meals in the future. Inka Soveri
We previously reported in Iltalehti that Hesburger, a fast food restaurant, will stop selling children’s meals.
The sale of children’s meals will be discontinued in all Hesburger countries in the spring of 2026.
According to the chain, campaign products for child meals no longer interest consumers in the same way as before.

We asked what the future of children’s meals in McDonald’s and Burger King is like.
McDonald’s Communications Manager Nora Syrjänen Refused a telephone interview but answered Iltalehti’s questions by email.
-We are not giving up our Happy Meal cargo meal. It is one of our most beloved meal options for children, Syrjänen writes.
According to Syrjänen, the aim is to make Happy Meal meal toys more responsible. The toy is often replaced by a book option. Syrjänen mentions supporting children’s literacy.
Also Burger King chain manager Siru Kalpio refused a telephone interview. He answered the questions by SMS. Nor did he comment on the popularity of Burger King’s children’s meals.
– Children’s meal is on sale and is part of the Burger King concept. We cannot respond to the future at this stage, Kalpio writes.
