Burger King's French Fries.

I was on Burger King's website and on there allgern list the French Fries don't contain any egg, fish, milk, peanuts, shellfish, soy, soy lecithin, tree nuts or wheat. But when I looked at the ingredients it says it has potatoes, partically hydrogenated soybean oil, modifed potato starch, rice flour, potato dextrin, salt, leavening (disodium dihydrogen pyrophosphate, sodium bicarbonate), dextrose, xanthan gum, sodium acid pyrophosphate added to preserve natural color.. I'm confused do the french fries have soy in them or not?

Thank you!

Becky

Burger King is notorious for placing their onion rings and fries in the same "articficial heat lamp" after they are cooked.

Also, BK uses the same tongs for the onion rings and the fries.

Lastly, most BK's do not use dedicated fryers.

I would not eat their fries!

Almost none of the fast food fries are safe.

I won't let my daughter eat BK fries. They cook their onion rings in the same friers. And, everything is put in that one bin. No thanks... no way.

I have really been craving fries lately so I guess I need to make my own. I wish places would put thought in to having at least a small dedicated area to people with special dietary needs. :angry:

I was reading the burger king site today and there is a statement that the fries are made in there own fryer with nothing else.

That may be true, however, in practice it can be a different story. At any rate, the fries and onion rings go in the same holding bin with a metal divider. Every time I've ever eaten at BK gluten-free or not, there has always been an onion ring in my fries, without fail.

I remember when I used to consider this a bonus! :D

      What Thiamine Hydrochloride brand do you take? Is it like the other vitamins I have added? What brand Tryptophan and amount do you take. Thanks

      I would not think store bought yogurt would contain gluten unless it possibly could be through an added flavoring or coloring ingredient. Otherwise, it should be naturally gluten free.  Keep in mind that some companies are capitalizing on people's fears and ignorance (nothing personal intended) by labeling foods "gluten free" that are just that way by the nature of what they are. They are hoping to create a marketing edge over their competitors by adding "gluten free" because they know it may catch attention of those new to the celiac/gluten sensitivity experience without having to cost them anything in the way of changing their manufacturing process or doing testing.

      I believe the GFCO does use a common logo for certified gluten free products (those containing not more that 10ppm of gluten) but nothing universal yet from the FDA for standard gluten free products (those containing not more that 20ppm).

      I have a One Pot and decided to start using it one day. I was hesitant at first making my own yogurt, but was surprised at how easy it was. I like mine better too.

      Because I spend so much time reading every word on all food packaging, I personally would greatly appreciate it if there was one common gluten-free symbol written in large-enough text, and always located in the same place. That alone will make shopping easier and faster. I dread having to buy packaged food. Thank you very much for asking,
