Why would someone go to McDonald's for vegan(food)?

u/FeelMyBoars Feb 25 '25

The fries are vegan. It might depend on the country. Possibility of cross contamination.

The coffee, pop, and juice are vegan. There might be some muffins and things without eggs.

No "food" though.

the fries aren't (or weren't for a long time) vegan because they use beef flavoring

Is beef flavouring made from beef?

u/DazB1ane Feb 26 '25

They actually used beef fat, not flavoring (which is just spices)

Not here

``` FRIES

Potatoes, Canola Oil (Acidity Regulator (330)), Dextrose Monohydrate (Preservative (220)), Mineral Salt (450), Antifoam (Non-ionic polyalkylene glycol), Preservative (223). OR Potatoes, Vegetable Oil (Canola, Soybean, Cottonseed), Mineral Salt (450), Dextrose (from Mazie).

FRIES are cooked in McDonald’s Vegetable Oil blend and may be cooked using the same equipment as products containing Gluten, Wheat, Milk, Soy. Salt added. ```

A long time ago McDonald's used beef tallow for their fries, but they switched over to a non-vegetarian beef extract instead, at least in the US.

In Canada and the UK, the fries are vegetarian, though I imagine there would be cross contamination from things like McNuggets if they're fried in the same oil.

u/mr_bigmouth_502 Feb 26 '25

Depends on the country. In Canada and the UK, the fries don't have beef flavoring. The US still has it though.

Also there are designated vegan options in McDonald’s like beyond meat in many countries outside the US. Here in the UK the fries are not fried in beef derivatives. I think this varies massively. Indian McD’s has so many veggie and vegan options for example.

Vegan here! The fries are actually cooked in animal fat, at least in the US. Burger King’s fries are vegan though :)
