McDonald's is being sued over something in their french fries again:

McDonald's Corp. faces at least three lawsuits claiming the fast-food giant misled the public after it acknowledged earlier this week its french fries contain milk and wheat ingredients.
...
Her attorney, Thomas Pakenas, said his client has celiac disease, which causes gastrointestinal symptoms set off by eating gluten, a protein found in wheat.

The french fry page I got the image from doesn't mention wheat and dairy contents yet, but it does still mention beef flavoring. I say get rid of the wheat and get back to frying them in beef tallow!

Thanks to Michael for the link.

In related news, Survival Spice™ is still gluten free...

I got my order!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Why would a celiac eat at McDonalds? @@.

Thanks for the biz, Shelleigh!

Carin- It's hard to generalize about any group, but most Celiacs I know do a lot of research into ingredients, and if the website didn't mention gluten, they might have thought it was safe. And their fries are so good!

Buy Survival Spice®!
