Hello Are Mcdonald Fries Again being cooked with Pig Fat?
Salam, 
I would like to say i like burger king fries better than McDonald fries anyway but since so many people eat Mcdonald especially Muslims, i would like to share this fabolous news with you which was sent to me by a person i trust, i bet it will turn as big as the doritoes issue!
[ Update: Jazakullah Brother Baba for sharing this information from the Corporate Mcdonalds Website on the ingredients of French Fries]
French Fries:
Potatoes, vegetable oil (partially hydrogenated soybean oil, natural beef flavor (wheat and milk derivatives)*, citric acid (preservative), dextrose, sodium acid pyrophosphate (maintain color), dimethylpolysiloxane (antifoaming agent)), salt. Prepared in vegetable oil ((may contain one of the following: Canola oil, corn oil, soybean oil, hydrogenated soybean oil, partially hydrogenated soybean oil, partially hydrogenated corn oil with TBHQ and citric acid added to preserve freshness), dimethylpolysiloxane added as an antifoaming agent). *CONTAINS: WHEAT AND MILK (Natural beef flavor contains hydrolyzed wheat and hydrolyzed milk as starting ingredients.)
McDonald’s announced in the 1990’s that it changed its frying oil from animal fat to vegetable oil for those who are vegetarian. However, it turned out that this information did not turn out to be completely true French fries are fried slightly in animal fat then frozen and shipped to all the McDonald’s stores for the final frying .
The following information was announced on the Arabic BBC channel. Basically, what they do is they cut the potatoes into slices and then coat them with a thin layer of lard (pig fat) or cow fat so that when it is fried it will crunch.
Then these fries are shipped to McDonald’s stores in different parts of the world including India and the Arab countries. McDonald’s apologized to the Indians after receiving complaints, since a good number of Indians do not eat anything that has ingredients derived from animals. And of course no apology has been made to the Arab countries.
So in summary, Mc Donald’s fries is coated with a layer of either cow fat or lard (pig fat which is thicker and cheaper) then shipped to all McDonald’s stores over the world, which is then fried in vegetable fat.
Please alert all those you know of this information.
Seems like a gray area, so brothers and sisters leave that which is doubtful as our beloved Prophet Muhammad told us.
