I was on Burger King's website and on there allgern list the French Fries don't contain any egg, fish, milk, peanuts, shellfish, soy, soy lecithin, tree nuts or wheat. But when I looked at the ingredients it says it has potatoes, partically hydrogenated soybean oil, modifed potato starch, rice flour, potato dextrin, salt, leavening (disodium dihydrogen pyrophosphate, sodium bicarbonate), dextrose, xanthan gum, sodium acid pyrophosphate added to preserve natural color.. I'm confused do the french fries have soy in them or not?

Thank you!

Becky

Burger King is notorious for placing their onion rings and fries in the same "articficial heat lamp" after they are cooked.

Also, BK uses the same tongs for the onion rings and the fries.

Lastly, most BK's do not use dedicated fryers.

I would not eat their fries!

I won't let my daughter eat BK fries. They cook their onion rings in the same friers. And, everything is put in that one bin. No thanks... no way.

I have really been craving fries lately so I guess I need to make my own. I wish places would put thought in to having at least a small dedicated area to people with special dietary needs. :angry:

I was reading the burger king site today and there is a statement that the fries are made in there own fryer with nothing else.

That may be true, however, in practice it can be a different story. At any rate, the fries and onion rings go in the same holding bin with a metal divider. Every time I've ever eaten at BK gluten-free or not, there has always been an onion ring in my fries, without fail.

I remember when I used to consider this a bonus! :D

      My Adult daughter is blaming me for her "possible" Celiac disease.

      By cristiana · Posted

      You are most welcome, Marie.  Thank you for getting in touch, because this sort of post will be seen by other parents who find themselves in this position, I am sure there are many.   And as I say, in the long run, I am sure your daughter will be sorry for what she said.  I remember having a go at my dear Mum when I was in my twenties about something and then apologising, saying, "I don't know how you put up with me."  I can't remember her exact words but it was something along the lines of, "I used to say things like to my Mum.  Now it's my turn [to be on the receiving end]!"    😂  Although it isn't very nice to be on the receiving end, it is good your daughter feels safe to say these things to you. We look forward to hearing from you again in due course.

      Not sure if this is Celiac or just a gluten-free intolerance

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Are You Confused About Your Celiac Disease Lab Results? Some people test negative but have a positive biopsy, others test positive but negative biopsy.  This is why it can take years and misdiagnosis of other diseases that Celiac Disease can mimic. The above link is a good read with real life examples. Something I find interesting is that in 1980 or so a new diagnosis was created, Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity, only 10 years after Norman Borlaug won the Nobel Peace Prize for creating our modern wheat and the Green Revolution.

      Trader Joe's strikes again

      By trents · Posted

      @Steve-n-Portland, there is a difference in the requirements to use the label "Gluten Free" and the label "Certified Gluten Free". "Gluten Free" is governed by FDA regulations and has a ceiling of 20 ppm. "Certified Gluten Free" is a labeling convention used by the GFCO, an independent international third party certifying group that uses 10 ppm as its standard.

      Trader Joe's strikes again

      We have had numerous reports from forum participants experiencing gluten reactions from Trader Joe "gluten-free" products. It seems it's not a good place for the celiac/gluten sensitive community to shop.

      Also, a class action lawsuit was launched in 2024 against Trader Joe's re: their " gluten free" everything bagels. They tested at 269ppm. (Personally, I am not sure they will win. The FDA says that the *ingredients* have to be less than 20ppm for a company to label something "gluten-free."  In order to be certified as gluten-free by the GFCO, the *final product* needs to be less than 20ppm. That said, the lawsuit is arguing that most people read that label and assume the final product is safe for people with celiac. Thus, many people were made sick. And being sick can have costly consequences in regard to work or school, depending when one becomes ill.)
