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.

      Shaking/Tremors and Off Balance

      By Zipper1975 · Posted

      I had 9 out 10 of your symptoms & most doctors don't pay attention about it. I figured out after extreme stomach pains I couldn't eat anything with regular flour or worse wheat. If u do few crumbs my stomach looked like I was 8 months pregnant no kidding. But I noticed what works for me is going green organic kectin free diet life style. Even gourmet chocolates made me bed doubled over in pain. Through research found out the problem was my gut health affect by lectin ( inflammation causing that's is naturally occuring in mostly night shade plants ex: zucchini) so to kill them I found out must pressure cook those veggies and other skin seeds from nature. And FYI: oats have naturally in them 5-8% gluten that definitely will cause me pain & inflammation. So I try my best eat organic grain free diet than there no pain & I feel more energy. Your symptoms are definitely from foods you are eating. And mushrooms are regular must because they help good bacteria balance growth in our gut to fight off inflammations and bad bacteria for our health. You also need to check if thyroid is intact and for B12 Deficiency & low Iron or low folic acid. I was severely anemic for years. And still am vitamin D deficiency from tears damage to my gut & lack of sunlight. Our gut is a responsible for absorbing vitamins. This is from personal experience not expertise but good luck with that with doctors are only trained 1 hour on nutrition in all their medical schooling as far as what a trusted sources I researched. Wish you all the best. Zohara R. ....I meant Lectin free diet not kectin lol.

      Blunted villi almost 4 year after diagnosis

      By RMJ · Posted

      Four years after I started my gluten free diet I still had “focal mild villous blunting.” One of the four antibodies tested was also still a little high (all four had been high at first). Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to have a biopsy prior to going gluten free so don’t know if the blunting was an improvement or not.   Did you have a biopsy when diagnosed? Is blunting an improvement? At least you have villi and not villous atrophy.  Hopefully your gastroenterologist or another doctor will try to find the cause of your current symptoms, even if they don’t think it is celiac.

      I hope your procedure was successful and that you get a definitive answer from the biopsies.
