McDonald's fries - are they gluten free? Warning!!

A while ago I posted a blog on McDonald's fries after a query on another site led me to look at their website and gluten information.  Theoretically they are safe, but I have had several comments posted saying how ill people are after eating them.  I haven't been brave enough to try - fast food places are scary as even the air feels dangerous.

Following on from these comments I have to say that I think you should avoid McDonald's fries if you are gluten intolerant.

McDonald's fries - are they gluten free?

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.
