What BK told me on the phone...

[Guest guest]

I called BK today b/c I do not feel like I can take my child safely to

McD and BK's grilled chicken is GF according to their nutritional

information and ingredient list.

I called national and then local. The local manager (at the Valley

Ave store, in case someone else is in Winchester, VA) has a child w/

food allergies which is helpful b/c she knows about cross

contamination issues and the needs of a child like mine. She told me

she would not suggest I feed my son French Fries from them. She said

accidents happen here all the time. The French Fry Frier is right

next to the onion ring etc Frier. She explained that when they dump

onion rings in, often some spill over or French Fries spill over to

the other Frier.

Hearing this from a manager and a manager w/ a child w/ food allergies

was very useful. I can't rely on BK locally either.

One good thing came out of all this, I was forced to investigate

further local fast food options myself and come up with a solution

for our family... Chick-fil-a is local and it has grilled chicken GF

and fries (although he doesn't really like them, maybe he'll learn).

And Chick-fil-a has a play place, so it is always a hit with my kids.

It cost a little bit more, but since Mc D is out we won't be spending

extra money there for a quick snack to get my kids through a shopping

trip
