- 1. does your sundaes and shakes contain yeast and if so is it a high amount
-
There is no yeast in the milkshakes and sundaes as an ingredient. However due to the nature of yeast and its widespread occurrence in food, especially sugar based foods, there could be minute quantities of yeast in the syrups or sauces used for the shakes and sundaes. These levels would be extremely low.

My daughter is severley intolerant to any product which contains milk products. Sadly for her it is so unfair when I take my other daughter to mcdonalds to not be able to let her have anything other than chips!!! It would be gratefully appreciated, best wishes, lucy x
