My Celiac DH and I just ate them today without a problem. Perhaps the McDs we went to is still using the "old" fries that are safe. In any event, we are saddened too......

--I checked the link and they are on the gf list

and wheat is not listed--just natural flavor with it

defined as beef.

This is a huge blow. I'm actually on the verge of tears. This was

the only fast food I could do with my picky little 5 yr old. I urge

people to email McD's with comments.

I checked again--where are you seeing this?

I went to USA

Fries are listed in two places as gf--on a spread

sheet type list for allergens, and on a gf pdf file of

all gluten free foods.

I don't see what you all are seeing....

Don't worry, I sent a scathing complaint. This makes me sad too. When

we go on road trips, Mc french fries was my only fast, hot option-

i hate cold food. I don't eat meat either (ya, i know they're not

vegetarian fries, but what can you do) so my options are even more

limited. BAH! I send curses in their general direction!

I do wonder if perhaps this is a CYA response to new labeling laws-

perhaps they were always recycling oil and only now revealing it? Or

this is to cover the possibility that oil might be recycled? I never

had any negative reaction, though...

I immediately feel an overpowering urge for french fries. (And I very

rarely have them.)
