- He has revealed the best store-bought sauce that is 'identical' to Big Mac sauce

A former McDonald's chef has revealed where you can purchase an almost exact replica of the fast food chain's famous Big Mac sauce.
Illinois-based Mike Haracz, who worked at the franchise until 2019, took to TikTok to spill the secret.
He explained that although you can make the condiment at home, if you ever want to have a taste of the dip from the comfort of your couch, you can just run to your local Walmart.
In a clip posted to TikTok, the corporate chef revealed that the grocery chain sells a very similar product called Secret Sauce.

'Do you want to buy Big Mac sauce from the store?
'I'm a former McDonald's chef and I have your best option,' Mike said at the beginning of the clip, which has been viewed a staggering 372,000 times.
He noted that if you want something 'store-bought' and 'already prepared', you can count on Walmart's Great Value Secret Sauce.
Mike added that this sauce is 'closest' to the Big Mac dip that is 'served in the restaurant.'
'This version has a little more sweetness, which probably has to do with water activity and food preservations,' he said.
He explained that he evaluated multiple sauces but Walmart's Secret Sauce 'best replicated' that of the fast food joint.
The former McDonald's chef added that the Great Value sauce is nearly 'identical.'
He said that the condiment, which retails for $2.08, is the 'closest thing you could get from the Super Market.'
