It contains 755 calories, compared to 493 for the McDonald’s favorite and 694 calories for the Double Big Mac.
The pasta salad, part of M&S’s Viva Summer range, also contains 33g of fat.
A Big Mac contains 24g, while the double version contains 38g.
A social media page dedicated to the food highlights the cheeseburger salad.
One reviewer suggests opting for a hot burger with a bun, writing, “But 755 calories. You could have the real thing.
Another said: “What are they trying to do to this country?” A third added: “Wow. That’s crazy, isn’t it! Another foodie said: “It looks good.”
M&S has also gained its new £6 Posh Egg Mayo and Watercress double sandwich.
One customer fumed: “£6 for an egg sandwich! The world has gone mad,” while another said: “£6, what the fuck. This is ridiculous.”
A third said: “You could buy a loaf of bread, butter and fillings for that amount and make lots of sandwiches.”
One user said: “Add the word ‘fancy’ and you can charge whatever you want haha.”
M&S defended its new offering, saying: “Our food to go range includes healthy lunch options such as salads, pasta salads and sandwiches, which are highlighted by our Eat Well flower packaging.”
