“Unlocking the Secret: What McDonald’s French Fries Reveal About Fast Food That Will Leave You Speechless!”
They Aren’t Vegetarian
If you think that you can go to McDonald’s and stick to your vegetarian diet, definitely don’t order any french fries. Back in the day, the fries were actually fried in beef fat, and while that may make them taste delicious, it’s far from healthy or vegetarian.
Today, the fries are typically made using tallow or lard. So, if you think it’s safe to eat a fry without breaking your diet, think again when you’re at McDonald’s.
Changing The Recipe
Although many people wouldn’t imagine that McDonald’s would ever change their fry recipe, they have indeed done just that. In 1992, it was adjusted since beef fat, tallow, and lard became increasingly costly. The company switched to vegetable oil instead.
However, it turned out that the customers noticed the change and were less than thrilled about it. So, the restaurant chain got back to work and have continued to evolve their recipe over the following years, including adding back some of the original ingredients.
Plenty Of Animal Products
Even though the recipe has been changed, they still aren’t vegan or vegetarian by any means. Although the french fries may no longer be completely covered in animal fat, some of the ingredients that have been added include natural beef flavor and even milk!
So, while they may have cut back on some of the animal fat, their french fries still have a lot of cow products in them. Vegetarians and vegans might want to steer clear!
