This has been interesting. Has anyone done a study on BK's fries? Or any other major fastfood chain's fries?
In the end, a fastfood fry is a fry by any other name!.
I use canola oil in my commercial kitchen for deepfrying various things, it has antifoaming added and Im not sure what else. My point is, if you are ordering catering from me, any deepfried products will most likely have met the same oily bath as McD's fries. Or any commercially cooked fries. Not just McD's. I very rarely eat McD's but I feel they get singled out for a heap of protest.
The New Zealand Mickey Dee's have a series of TV ads going on at the moment showing just where they get their produce. Actually, I found it comforting that the bacon comes from where I get mine, the bread is my home brand , the potatoes are grown near where I grew up, the cheese is from Mainland, our biggest provider of dairy to supermarkets, the beef is NZ, etc.
As far as a couple of mentions upthread about ' what we saw out the back' I believe that is merely a hygiene issue which is bad enough, and Im equally sure nobody watched as great hypodermics were filled with chemical cocktails and squirted in to each pickle, patty or fry that left the premises!! lolol
