Answer 2

Peanut Oil

Answer 3

no its just regular frying grease. Rumors are hardly ever true

Answer 4

They use vegetable oil. They also have separate friers for chicken, fish and vegeyable products. Hope this is helpful.

Answer 5

I think it's vegetable, but I know for a fact the natural flavoring in it is beef derived, and that it's very likely that workers could be lazy and stupid, or there could be no room, and they could fry the meat with the same stuff as the fries

Answer 6

Even if it was pure vegetable, they are frying all that other stuff (chicken strips, onion rings, etc) in the oil too. The run off of chicken tenders doesn't sound too vegetarian.

Why would anyone who made the commitment to be a vegetarian want to eat McDonalds fries anyway? McDonalds makes poison. It's their business. They do not feature responsible choices. They specialize in making your cardiologist rich. This is like trying to figure out if Phillip Morris makes a safer cigarette!!! There is no such thing. These are bad companies.

Answer 7

They definitely use vegetable oil. Just go on their website and you'll see what's suitable for vegetarians. Fries are cooked separately from anything else.

Answer 8

they were using beef oil back in 2001 but they stopped after vegetarians tried to sue them and now they claim to use 100% vegetable oil

Answer 11

Answer 14

WARNING!  It doesn't matter what kind of oil they use.  Their fries have beef in them.  I worked at McDonald's only months ago and beef is an ingredient of their fries.
