Beef extract in fries..??..

[Guest guest]

This set of question and answer with McDonalds came

to us on the internet: (we cannot vouch for its accuracy)....jay

 

Question and answer with McDonalds.

 

Q:

I am a vegetarian and I have recently heard that McDonald's French

fries may not be vegetarian. I checked your ingredient list and the only

thing suspect is the item called " natural flavor " . I have heard

that this is beef tallow, but I would like to check with you to make sure.

 

(alleged answer from Macdonald's)

A:

Our suppliers use a unique production process to make our French

fries. After the potatoes are washed and steam-peeled, they are cut,

blanched, dried, par-fried, and frozen. It is during the par-frying process

that the natural flavoring is added. The natural flavoring consists

of a miniscule amount of beef extract.

 

Again, thank you for contacting McDonald's. We look forward to

serving you again soon under the Golden Arches.
