I posted a long item about McDonalds in Canada, and the fries in particular. There is much debate about whether the fries contain gluten. Here's a link to my recent post:

Thank you for that Peter! A few of us Celiacs in the area meet regularly at McDonalds. We have both checked the ingredients and the un-likely possiblility of contamination and have had no problems with the fries. It's a very handy place to meet for coffee and fries, without hassle.

McDonalds in Canada has issued an official statement responding to the media reports in the US. It is posted on the Canadian Celiac Association's web site. Here is a link to the pdf version:

It says:

McDonald’s Restaurants of Canada Limited

Statement

Wednesday, February 15, 2006

There has been some recent Canadian verbatim media pick up of two stories originating in the US on McDonald’s French fries. These stories pertain to the trans fat content of US French fries and the wheat and dairy derivatives in the flavouring component of the frying oil used in the US restaurants. Please be assured that these two stories DO NOT apply to McDonald’s Canada.

Our frying oil is different, therefore trans fat levels are lower than the US, and the oil does not contain the flavouring mentioned, or any wheat or dairy derivatives.

Should you have any questions, please contact our media relations hotline at 1-877-786-3342.

Since this is an official statement, I doubt their legal department would have let it be released if it had not been verified.

Well dang, tell our McDonalds to import the oil then! Seesh!

      By Sergiu2020 · Posted

      Thanks a lot! I will search that too. I also talked to another doctor and she assured me there is no gluten in this type of antibiotics. Anyway i started the administration of Augmentin on my girl this evening. I hope there will be no problems.

      Brasswell marmalade and jellies are gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Good afternoon, I don’t know if anyone here has ever tried Braswell’s products like their marmalades or jellies? Are they gluten-free? On the ingredients says “cane sugar, cherries (cherries, cane sugar), strawberries, corn syrup, pectin and citric acid. That ingredient list is from their berry preserve bottle. Most of them say the same for ingredients, but I’m not sure if it is okay to consume.

      I have seen this problem many times. I always get in touch with the company. Most times they tell me if I'm just gluten free it is ok, but do not eat it if you are celiac. Calling the company is the best way when you are not sure. Yesterday I had a different example of products being marked gluten-free.  I love chocolate and have a piece each day. The chocolate bar I like is Chocolove. When I bought one this week it was not marked gluten-free. I called the company to find out why and if it was still gluten-free.  Turns out the manufacturer decided there was too much on the wrapper and took off the gluten-free label. It is made in a dedicated gluten-free facility.
