Hello Jafri:
Thank you for taking the time to contact McDonald's.
We appreciate this opportunity to share information with you about our french fries. For flavor enhancement, McDonald's french fries suppliers use a very small amount of beef flavor as a natural flavoring during the par-frying process at the potato processing plant. In the restaurant, the french fries are cooked in vegetable oil.
You may be interested to know that we recently updated our nutrition information to include the ingredients in "natural flavors" for all our US core menu items. Customers will now be able to find out if a natural flavor comes from a dairy, meat or vegetable source. We do not ship our french fries all over the world. We have distributors all over the world that adhere to religous standards. Also McDonald's has never used pig fat. If you are interested in reviewing this information, please visit our web site at www.mcdonalds.com. We hope this information is helpful.
Again, thank you for contacting McDonald's. We hope to have the opportunity of serving you again soon under the Golden Arches.

Recently I received this message:
MCDONALDS announced in the 1990's that it changed its frying oil from animal fat to vegetable oil for those who are vegetarian. However, it turned out that this information did not turn out to be completely true French fries are fried slightly in animal fat then frozen and shipped to all the McDonald's stores for the final frying The following information was announced on the Arabic BBC channel .
Basically, what they do is they cut the potatoes into slices and then coat them with a thin layer of lard (pig fat) or cow fat so that when it is fried it will crunch. Then these fries are shipped to McDonald's stores in different parts of the world including India and the Arab countries. Mc Donald's apologized to the Indians after receiving complaints, since a good number of Indians do not eat anything that has ingredients derived from animals. And of course no apology has been made to the Arab countries. So in summary, Mc Donald's fries is coated with a layer of either cow fat or lard (pig fat which is thicker and cheaper) then shipped to all Mc Donald's stores over the world, which is then fried in vegetable fat.
Please alert all those you know of this information.
Please confirm.
