KAUAI, HAWAII, July 6, 2007: HPI reader Ranji Singh points out that, following the US$10 million judgment against McDonalds in 2005, Hinduism Today warned that:
“Hindu vegetarians around the world may wish to take note of the little-publicized fact that McDonald’s made no changes in their fries, which are still beef-flavoring saturated. Sure, the oil is vegetable. But make no mistake about it. There is meat in those luscious Golden Arches french fries.” (See URL above for complete report.)
“Today,” laments Ranji, “this issue is forgotten. Every Hindu with whom I have spoken about this matter believes that McDonald’s no longer use their beef flavoring since they lost the lawsuit.”
So, consider yourself reminded, beef flavoring remains in the fries, and if you don’t believe us, believe McDonalds: click here and scroll down to “Natural beef flavor” in the list of ingredients for “Small French Fries.”
