Burger King Fries has Poultry flavoring

 

Important Information About Burger King's French Fries

June 7, 2002

 

 

In 1997, while researching for our Guide to Fast Food,

we were told by Burger King that their French fries

contained nothing “which would present a problem to [a

vegetarian] diet. No whey, no dairy products, no beef

fat, no flavoring from animals.” Recently, however,

Burger King Customer Relations asserted that the fries

are not to be considered vegetarian.

 

Burger King’s Media Relations department stated that

the fries do contain a small amount of a poultry-based

amino acid used for flavoring. They are not able to

provide any documentation to this effect. The

flavoring is currently under further development.

Burger King’s Product Consistency department informed

us that the recipe for the French fry coating was last

reformulated in the spring of 2001. In the meantime,

vegetarians who choose to eat the BK Veggie may want

to order it without the fries.

(Please note that the BK Veggie bun is not vegan and

you may want to ask for the patty to be microwaved

rather than prepared on the grill with the other meat

products.)

does anyone have an email address so I can tell BK to

make their fries vegan?
