McDonald's frying oil: Animal or vegetable?

 

 

McDonald's Corp. has been accused in a lawsuit of

using beef fat to fry its french fries despite saying

a decade ago that it would use only pure vegetable

oil.

 

The lawsuit was filed Tuesday in Seattle on behalf of

two Hindus who don't eat meat and one non-Hindu

vegetarian.

 

The lawsuit says McDonald's used beef tallow,

disguising it as " natural flavor. "

 

McDonald's announced in 1990 that it would cook its

potatoes only in pure vegetable oil, not beef fat. But

it said Wednesday that its recipe calls for " a

minuscule trace of beef flavoring, not tallow. "
