What's The Deal About Mcdonalds?

[spyderbabe]

ok i remember reading on here somewhere that someone found out McDonalds french fries were not safe for celiacs. Now i see in the updates that it is. Which is the truth.

I went to McDonalds website and read the ingredients and it did say there was wheat product in the fries.

The "official" response seems to be that they are safe for celiacs and that the level of gluten in the final product is below detectable levels, HOWEVER, there is too high of a risk of cross contamination for some people's comfort level. Ultimately it is YOUR choice if you decide to eat them or not.

Initially they were removed from their gluten-free list, yada yada. They did testing, concluded fries were safe. GIG (gluten.net) supports them as does the CSA (csaceliacs.org). CC risk is always high when eating out, so make your own decision with all of this in mind.

so would most of you eat at the "fry" stands at disney world? They only make Fries. We are going in 2 weeks and I was hoping my son could enjoy these.

I always recomend AGAINST fast food joints for anyone with food issues, the CC risk there is much higher then regular resturant.

I would, especially since that's all they have, but others wouldn't. You have to decide for yourself.

For myself I might, for my son, no. He can make that call when he is old enough to understand it.

I personally lived off of those fry stands at disney when I went to disneyland a couple of years ago. I had no problem with them but it is up to you.
