MACDONALDS
McDonald’s 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.
