McDonald Fries?

Question

Ok, I've always known that McDonald's fries were made out of animal fat, but I've recently heard that they were no longer made in animal fat. Is this really true?

Answer 1

i dont know whats behind the McDo fries....but all i know is when you eat it one or more times a week you'll get a slightly abnormal digestion...your *c**p* will be a little harder...and you'll get fat fast...just dont eat it!!! i stop eating it...its a little disgusting..like EEEEEEEWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!....just like that...

Answer 2

They have lied in the past. It may be tue.

Answer 3

While they are no longer cooked in animal fat, they do use beef as a flavoring, therefore they're not vegetarian.

Answer 4

I've never heard that they were made of animal fat  but I don't know if it's true or not

sorry

Answer 5

They are really just a heart-attack in a small package. Eat at your own risk!

Answer 6

I'm really glad I saw this question. I had no idea there was "natural beef flavor" in their fries. I'll never be eating those again!

Answer 7

McDonald's fries do contain an animal product - Milk. They also contain beef flavoring for "For flavor enhancement", which is what gives their fries a distinct taste.

But McDonald's claims that they no longer cook their French fries in animal fat, at least the overseas McDonalds don't, not so sure about the American ones.

EDIT: Apparently the USA McDonalds don't cook their fries in animal fat any more, they found a way around it by including on their ingredient list the mysterious mysterious phrase: "natural flavor." So under federal regulations they can get away with claiming their fries are healthier now because they are cooked in veggie oil but they can still add beef  in them and list it as a "natural flavor".

Answer 8

They switched from animal fat to hydrogenated oils in the 90s to get rid of saturated fat, which is linked to heart disease. Sadly, the trans fats in hydrogenated oils are even worse for the heart. McDonalds will probably eliminate trans fats in the future if they have not already done so now. There is a lot of pressure on companies to make this move.

I think they might fry other things in the same vat, so they are probably not considered "vegetarian."

Answer 9

well yesterday i was exactly thinking about that.i donno  what?when i lived in my country ,they told lie to people that they are safe and there's no animal fat inside.but here in canada i think it's different.if they tell lies theyll be arrested by law.don u think so?when they have veggie burgers so they care about vegetarians too.they care that all the ingredient should be veggie.even the oil.

French Fries:

Potatoes, vegetable oil (partially hydrogenated soybean oil, natural beef flavor (wheat and milk derivatives)*, citric acid (preservative), dextrose, sodium acid pyrophosphate (maintain color), dimethylpolysiloxane (antifoaming agent)), salt. Prepared in vegetable oil ((may contain one of the following: Canola oil, corn oil, soybean oil, hydrogenated soybean oil, partially hydrogenated soybean oil, partially hydrogenated corn oil with TBHQ and citric acid added to preserve freshness), dimethylpolysiloxane added as an antifoaming agent). *CONTAINS: WHEAT AND MILK (Natural beef flavor contains hydrolyzed wheat and hydrolyzed milk as starting ingredients.)

I don't know.  I still won't eat them.

Answer 11

The question to ask yourself is the following: Do I really want to sponsor this money-hungry industry that doesn't give a care about the welfare of its animals and the health of its consumers? How can you knowingly eat something that you know will cause up fermentation in the stomach? "McDonald" French Fries are pernicious and should be wholly discarded from your diet. If you have an uncanny taste for garbage and maggots, you may as well find the nearest trash bin and save yourself the $5.
