Important Information About Burger King's French Fries

April 12, 2002

 

 

In 1997, while doing research for the Guide to Fast Food, we

were told by Burger King that their French fries contained

“no whey, no dairy products, no beef fat, no flavoring from animals.”

Recently, however, Burger King Customer Relations has stated

that the fries are not considered to be vegetarian.

 

We called Burger King’s Media Relations department about this,

and they stated that the fries do contain a small amount of a

poultry-based amino acid used for flavoring. While, at the moment,

they were not able to give us any documentation to this effect,

they did say that this information will be included in their

new nutrition guide which should be available shortly.

 

Burger King’s Product Consistency department informed us that

the recipe for the French fry coating was reformulated in the

spring of 2001, and offered to contact the company that produces

the flavoring to determine the source. As of this writing we

are awaiting a reply.

 

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.)
