Quoted message said:Couple things. Just because it comes from wheat doesn't mean it contains
gluten, as the article explains. Likewise "derivatives" from milk and
the allergenic components. The fact is that they've been telling the
truth, as the article further says. There are no allergens in the
products. "McDonald's director of global nutrition, Cathy Kapica, said
its potato suppliers *remove all wheat and dairy proteins*, such as
gluten, which can cause allergic reactions."
You keep moving this goal post. I don't give a pig about the gluten
content of the food. I do care when they don't declare, per the law,
the additives they use in their food.
To quote you:
If they added anything to the beef patties, they'd have to
declare it. It's the law.
To quote me:
McDonalds has a history of not declairing all of the aditives
to their products.
To quote the article I linked:
Not long after disclosing that its french fries contain more
trans fat than thought, McDonald's Corp. said Monday that wheat
and dairy ingredients are used to flavor the popular menu item --
an acknowledgment it had not previously made.
AKA they were not including the "Contains wheat and milk ingredients" as
the law states they must. The law doesn't say anything about if these
wheat and milk ingredients contain gluten or not. It states that if
milk or wheat are used in any form then they must be declared.
Maybe this issue is just too black and white for you?
