Re: Mcs fries no longer safe....

[Guest guest]

Don't worry, I sent a scathing complaint. This makes me sad too. When

we go on road trips, Mc french fries was my only fast, hot option-

i hate cold food. I don't eat meat either (ya, i know they're not

vegetarian fries, but what can you do) so my options are even more

limited. BAH! I send curses in their general direction!

I do wonder if perhaps this is a CYA response to new labeling laws-

perhaps they were always recycling oil and only now revealing it? Or

this is to cover the possibility that oil might be recycled? I never

had any negative reaction, though...

I immediately feel an overpowering urge for french fries. (And I very

rarely have them.)

the page is dated at the bottom, the page with the wheat on it is

dated 2/3/06. You are looking at an old page I can't tell you why your

computer won't refresh. Just call them tomorrow and you'll see. Tons of

others can see it as well (I'm on a number of celiac lists).

Sue... I feel the same way, eating Mcs fries was my one quick and easy

meal when traveling by car. I'm really upset, I didn't have them often but

really loved them when I did.

I already wrote Mcs a letter telling them how disappointed I am in

this. they are french fried potatoes for gosh sake why can't they just be

potatoes, veggie oil and salt??

In this case, forget reading their lists. All you need to do is look

directly at the ingredient list that I cut-and-pasted here and you

will see that they contain wheat. They obviously haven't

updated/corrected their lists yet.

I know what you mean...my two-year-old SillyYak loved their french

fries...and it won't be easy to reason with him to get him to

understand that they're off-limits now

I've been getting sick (with the glutenized pains/etc. in my stomach)

for the past few months when I've snitched some of his McD's french

fries, but I chalked it up to being a result of something else or just

paranoia!

I agree...I wonder how long they've been non-GF and just how much to

trust them now.

Very, very disaapointed here tonight

I sent off a complaint to them too, and I hope that many others do the

same thing.

Are you allergic to peanuts? Boardwalk style fries (fried in peanut

oil) are my favorite. In my region, we have a newish chain--Five

Guys Burgers and Fries which has safe (as safe as you can get in a

restaurant, anyhow) fries, fried in peanut oil. They don't cook

anything else in the oil. Some Subways now serve Boardwalk Fries,

and there's a Boardwalk Fries restaurant franchise I often see in

food courts.

I don't react to refined peanut oil (despite being peanut allergic),

but I'm not as sensitive as kids who develop the allergy in childhood

are. I can't have soybean oil, though, no matter how well refined.

I don't think there are safe " old " fries at McD's. They're using the

same fries, mostly likely. I think they're finally labelling the

fries properly, whereas they weren't required to do so prior to FALCPA.

It is bad- I honestly think that they changed their fries almost 2

months ago. I am extremely sensitive (DH) and my son was constantly

complaining of an upset stomach. We ate there once a week after

football practice. I've been watching the site for weeks waiting to

see. I will definately email them.
