mcdonalds uses natural beef flavor and dairy in their fries and hash browns. their new fruit smoothie has animal hooves, skin, and bones (gelatin) in it. their apple pies have duck feathers (animal derived l-cysteine) in it. mcdonalds used to lie and say that their fries were made with 100% vegetable oil. vegetarians kept asking them about the natural flavor in their fries, and a customer service representative had a slip of the tongue and revealed it in fact came from beef. mcdonalds even sold these fries to hindus in india and tens millions of vegetarians all across the world. they did get sued however, and they ended up having to give millions of dollars in a settlement. burger king’s fries are vegan. and burger king has a bk veggie burger that does contain eggs and dairy but is cooked separately from the meat products. it’s hard to avoid animal products 100%, because most companies put hidden animal ingredients in some or most of their products.
