Typical = median price across the restaurants in the right-hand column. The full McDonald's menu for a single restaurant is on the McDonald's menu prices page.
Named locations are the lowest and highest listed price for each item among Louisiana restaurants in the checked collection, with till-glitch listings excluded (see methodology). Where several locations tie at the same extreme price, one is named and the tie is shown.
Calories and macros are taken from the chain's own published nutrition label, not measured by us. The letter is the same nutrient-density grade used on our item pages: nutrients worth having per calorie, minus the ones worth limiting. Detail for every item is on the McDonald's nutrition page.

We read the price of every item on the menu at each restaurant from the chain's own ordering system, every week. A "typical" price is the median across the restaurants named on the page, and every restaurant counts once: when a menu lists the same item twice under two spellings, the restaurant still contributes one price. The cheapest and priciest restaurants named on this page exclude the handful of listings whose price sits outside 0.4–2.5× the item's national typical price — a $99 sauce cup is a till glitch, not a price, and it should not be able to win "priciest" either. Named extremes also exclude one-day pricing anomalies: a price that appears at dozens of restaurants in a single day's collection and nowhere else in our archive is treated as a collection glitch, not a price, though those restaurants still count toward every typical price. State and city indexes average each menu item's local typical price against its national typical price, so every item counts once and no single chain dominates.
