Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
After disclosing that its fries contain more trans fat than the nutritional
information claimed, McDonald's revealed that their frence fries also contain potential allergens from dairy and wheat. The fries
had always been considered to be safe for customers with a gluten intolerance, as the suppliers of the potatoes remove
all potential allergens before shipping them, but the flavoring agent that McDonald's uses has derrivatives of both
wheat and milk ingredients.
The revelation comes following the laws passed at the beginning of the year which require companies to disclose potential allergens, including eggs, nuts, fish, shellfish, wheat and soy. The director of nutrition at the company says that proteins found in the wheat and dairy are what cause allergic reactions and that they are not present in the flavoring agent. She also notes that if you have been eating the french fries without experiencing an allergic reaction, you will be able to continue to do so.
Even if it does not affect those with allergies, vegetarians may be concerned that the fries contain ingredients derived from dairy.
