Burger King New Fry Recipe Contains No Gluten
A Facebook friend recently inquired about the gluten free status of Burger King’s new french fries.After a bit of research and an email exchange with the company, their fries do not contain gluten ingredients.
Before ordering, you must confirm that the location you are visiting fries them in separate oil from the other fried items. Mixing the cooking of the fries that don’t contain gluten with breaded chicken or onion rings makes them NOT gluten free.
Found on their web site: “French Fries are cooked in a fryer designated for French Fries only. Frier oil contains: corn, canola, soy and or/cottonseed oils.”
French Fry Ingredient List: Potatoes, Soybean Oil, Modified Potato Starch, Rice Flour, Salt, Leavening (Disodium Dihydrogen Pyrophosphate, Sodium Bicarbonate), Dextrose, Xanthan Gum, Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate to Preserve Natural Color
Having heard from those who've worked in fast-food restaurants, including Burger King, I've decided not to eat the fries anywhere that the menu offers battered, fried items as they may have been fried in the fries-only-designated fryer.
