Porquê

In the US, McDonald's fries are cooked with 'natural beef flavour' that contains milk and beef derivatives. In the UK and much of Europe, the fries are potato, oil, dextrose and salt and are cooked in a dedicated fryer, and McDonald's lists them as suitable for vegans.

Perguntas frequentes

Is McDonald's fries certified vegan?

Certification is separate from the recipe. Many products with no animal ingredients carry no vegan mark because the maker will not rule out shared production lines. Check the pack for a registered vegan trademark, and treat the ingredient list as the primary evidence.

Does the answer change between countries?

Often, yes. The same brand name can use different fats, emulsifiers, colours or whey depending on the plant that made it, so always read the local label rather than an answer written for another market.
