Burger King French Fries No Longer gluten-free

Just an FYI everyone.  I got a notice today from FARE - Food Allergy Research & Education that says the following:

 

 

Ingredient Notice: Burger King Changes Cooking Procedure for French Fries

 

 

 

These notices are distributed when food manufacturers provide information to FARE about upcoming changes in their products.

Burger King Corporation (BKC) is committed to providing accurate nutrition and allergen information for our guests so that they are able to meet their individual needs. As part of this commitment, our process includes timely dissemination of accurate information.

Accordingly, we are informing the food allergen community about the change in cooking procedure for our French Fries. Starting on August 3rd 2015, French Fries will no longer be cooked in a separate fryer. They will be cooked in the same fryer as Hash Browns that contain wheat flour, resulting in the likely risk of cross-contact with a known allergen for the French fries. Therefore, from now on, French Fries may contain wheat.

We are updating our website, bk.com to reflect this change. Our guests will continue to find complete and up-to-date nutritional and allergen information for BURGER KING® menu items on our website.

Thanks for the info. I would never risk eating in a place like that anyway. Even if they DID have dedicated fryers there is too much risk of CC at a place like that. Employees who touch buns also touch french fries. And besides, almost evey time I ever went there or McD's, they screwed up the order in one way or another. I'd never trust them to keep my food gluten-free.

Ditto that! My hubs & I used to make bets on what part of our order they would screw up this time. it was always something. :rolleyes:

I couldn't agree more bartfull! Fast food places scare the !!! out of me. Hands touching buns, touching, touching. Major C.C. risk there.

      Inconclusive biopsy results

      By trents · Posted

      In the time leading up to the blood draw for the antibody testing, attempt to consume at least 10g of gluten daily, about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. Concerning the two antibody tests I suggested, the "total IGA" is not a test per se to detect celiac disease but to check for IGA deficiency. If you are IGA deficient, the test scores for individual IGA tests will be artificially low and can generate false negatives. The TTG-IGA test is the most popular test ordered by physicians when checking for celiac disease, and considered to be the centerpiece of celiac disease antibody testing, but it is not the only one. Ideally, others would be ordered but cost containment in medicine being what it is, physicians seldom order a "full celiac panel" at the outset. Here is an overview of the tests that can be run:

      Thanks for the reply, I will ask for the antibody test. FODMAP does not eliminate gluten so it shouldn’t affect the results.

      I would ask to have celiac antibody blood tests done. These tests would not be valid, however, unless you were eating normal amounts of gluten for weeks or months leading up to the blood draw. So, not sure how the FODMAP diet figures into that. Ask for a minimum of 1. total IGA and 2. TTG-IGA. "Villi are swollen, congested, and shorter." "Moderate chronic duodenitis with loss of villi." These two lab findings you list are classic signs of celiac disease but can also have other causes.

      Inhaler problem

      I never said anesthesia. Medical companies can of course change their ingredients at anytime. What may be listed as gluten free on a website may not be updated so always good to check with pharmacy or the medical company itself.

      So there can be gluten in pain meds, but I've never heard of it in anesthesia before. Do you have any more info on this claim, perhaps a link to a source?
