However, some users claiming to be employees at McDonald's rejected the claims by Gia. The users claimed that at different locations, the iced tea is made differently.

Notably, according to US Food and Drug Administration's guidelines, added sugars should make up less than 10% of total daily calories.

Meanwhile, the website of McDonald's claims that a large size of sweet tea contains 40 grams of sugar.
