Must be all the salt and sugar.
Nutrition Calculator McDonalds.co.uk
One small 20g packet of Ketchup gives an adult man 7% of his recommended daily salt, 5% of his daily recommended sugar.
This is based on a 8400 kJ/2000 Kcal diet.
List of countries by food energy intake - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
The US, which has the HIGHEST intake of both kilocalories and kilojoules in the world with an average of 3,770 kilocalories, nearly double what McDonalds is saying you should have (yes, MCDONALDS) and 15,770 kilojoules when McDonalds says 8,400 should be about right.
Salt, you're taking in 7% of your daily recommended level of salt with just a small packet of ketchup alone.
Now, I added a big mac, large fries and a medium coke.
59% of my daily recommended value for salt. In one, rubbish meal.

Over-Consumption Of Salt Linked To One In 10 American Deaths
The researchers, who presented the study Thursday at the annual American Heart Association meeting in New Orleans, said 40 percent of those deaths are premature — affecting people 69 years old or younger.
Dariush Mozaffarian, one of the study’s researchers and associate professor of medicine and epidemiology at Harvard Medical School, told ABC News that salt is more dangerous than sugar largely because of its pervasiveness in the American diet — it’s everywhere, especially in processed, packaged foods:
It also gives you 63% of your daily intake of sugar, though most of this is from the coke.
BBC News - Why are we addicted to sugar
The World Health Organization (WHO) issued draft guidelines in June 2014 which suggested cutting the amount of sugar we eat from the current recommended limit of 10% of daily energy intake to 5%.
So, even this limit we have here is probably too high. A medium coke gives us, probably, about the amount of sugar we need per day. A ketchup would therefore give us 10%, which would be 10% over the limit with our coke.
Also this meal gives us 59% of saturate fat.
What are the risks of eating saturated fat - Fats - Sharecare
Mehmet Oz, MD, Cardiology, answered
Eating too much saturated fat can raise your level of LDL (bad) cholesterol and increase your risk for heart disease. LDL cholesterol plays several important roles in the body, but particles of it can build up in the blood and attach to the walls of arteries. Over time, LDL cholesterol and other substances can form blockages that lead to heart attacks and other serious health threats. You can cut back on your consumption of saturated fat by limiting your intake of fatty meats, whole milk, butter, cheese, ice cream, cakes and cookies.
Saying that, the ketchup has none of these fats. Must be why it's healthy. It only gives you a one in 5 chance of dying early, well probably much higher than that as those 9/10 who don't die from too much salt and probably the same for sugar, includes those that don't eat this rubbish.
