I have been following a Facebook conversation on which McDonald's fries around the world are fully gluten free. I don't think I have been in a McDonald's for about thirty years (and I was vegetarian the one time I did that, so you can imagine I ate well!), but I know my niece uses them as their meat patties are gf.
I had a quick look on the web. Their ingredients page is very easy to use and states that their fries are completely gluten free. They are cooked in dedicated frying vats. I don't eat fried food unless I can be sure a dedicated fryer that isn't used for any breaded items is used, so this is useful to know.
Thank you for doing all of the hard work for us. I had read in someone's blog that their daughter worked in McDonald's and she said that as well. Like you, I don't eat at McDonald's either but a month ago, I was with others who bought McDonald's and when they offered me some chips (we call fries chips in New Zealand) I ate some and felt good about being able to eat them. Not that I enjoyed them much but the fact that I was pretty sure I could safely have them made me feel good.
ReplyDeleteNow you have confirmed for me that this is correct. Next time I might buy a whole carton for myself :-)
Hi Sleepinghorse - we call them chips in England too...but I think McDonalds call them fries..who knows, but they are certainly not the thin round slivers of potatoes the English call crisps and others call chips...
ReplyDeleteI have yet to see any confirmation on any site there is more debate over the subject than an actual answer. I have the answer- DO NOT eat McDonalds fries! I had some last night thinking I would be fine but I woke up this morning feel like hell. So know matter what you read if you have a gluten intolerance DO NOT eat their fries.
ReplyDeleteI had half a small box after keep trying a few over time and well um paying tge price. I will never eat there again. Agony .
ReplyDeleteIn England and the rest of the UK, we eat Walkers crisps, home cooked chips (thick cut), and McCain's fries (thin cut). I can't tell you the last time I ate McDonalds fries as I don't know when they started outsourcing to McCain's.
