Poukisa
Pomdetè tou senpleman fri nan lwil legim se vejetalyen. Pwoblèm yo se fri ak grès bèf (toujou itilize pa kèk chèn ak boutik chips tradisyonèl), 'gou vyann bèf natirèl' nan kouch pre-fri a, lèt oswa laktoséròm nan sézisman an, ak friteuz pataje ak pwason pane oswa poul.

What is actually in it
Fries pass through two fat baths. At the factory the cut potato is blanched and par-fried, which sets the crust and lets it freeze without going grey; at the restaurant it is finished in the fryer. Either stage can introduce animal products. Historically most large chains par-fried and finished in beef tallow because saturated animal fat gives a firmer crust and a distinctive flavour; the switch to vegetable oil in 1990 left some brands adding a flavouring back in to compensate, which is where the notorious 'natural beef flavour' with hydrolysed milk and wheat comes from. Coatings are the second trap: many frozen fries are dusted with a dextrin or rice-flour batter for crispness, and a minority include whey or lactose for browning. Third is cross-contact — one fryer shared with breaded fish, chicken or mozzarella sticks. None of those are visible on a menu, so the reliable move is to check the chain's published allergen and ingredient sheet for the specific country you are in, since recipes are formulated per market.

Kesyon moun poze
Èske fri McDonald's yo vejetalyen?
Sa depann de peyi a. Ozetazini, pre-fri a itilize yon gou vyann bèf natirèl ki gen derive lèt; nan UK a, Iland ak anpil nan Ewòp, fri yo sètifye vejetalyen epi yo kwit nan yon friteuz dedye.
E chips nan boutik chips yo?
Mande sa friteuz la itilize. Grès bèf toujou komen nan kèk pati nan nò Angletè ak Bèljik.
Are frozen supermarket fries vegan?
Usually yes if the ingredients read potato, vegetable oil, dextrose and a raising agent. Check for whey, lactose or 'flavouring' with no origin given.
Is a shared fryer a dealbreaker?
That is a personal line. It is not an ingredient, but trace transfer from battered fish is real; many vegans accept it, many do not.
What about sweet potato fries?
Same rules plus one more: the crisp coating on frozen sweet potato fries more often contains milk-derived browning agents.
