- 1. obviously the chicken crumbed breasts are not gluten free, but what else isnt gluten free in mcdonalds uk? and what is definitively gluten free?

Thank you for your question. The area of food intolerances and allergies is a highly complex one, with many requests for specific menus as a result. There are a few items on the menu that are suitable as they contain no gluten containing ingredients; these include: French Fries (these are cooked in a dedicated fryer), Hash Browns, Fruit Bags, Carrot Sticks and Garden Side Salad (with Balsamic Dressing). Some McFlurry desserts and certain Milkshakes are suitable too. With regards to McDonald’s burgers, the beef patties are 100% beef – all that is added is a pinch of salt and pepper for seasoning. However, the buns are not suitable as they do contain gluten. If you ask the restaurant manager they should be able to prepare you a special order without the bun. For information, many of the McDonald's sauces do not contain gluten e.g. Big Mac Sauce, Heinz Tomato Ketchup, Mustard, Cool Mayo and Spicy Tomato Salsa. McDonald's works closely with the Coeliac Society to provide them with updated information for their members’ booklet, so this could be useful for you. For full nutritional information and ingredient declarations for all food at McDonald’s please visit the ‘Food’ section at www.mcdonalds.co.uk (January 2011)

-
All ingredients in the Spicy Veggie Deli are suitable for vegetarians (i.e. contain no ingredients of animal origin). The vegetable patty is cooked in a dedicated vat using a non hydrogenated blend of rapeseed and sunflower oil (which is suitable for vegetarians). However, due to the design of the oil filtration system there is a small chance the oil used to fry vegetable patties can become in contact with oil used to cook chicken and fish products during the oil filtering process. We therefore cannot guarantee cross-contamination will not occur.
McDonald's French Fries have been officially accredited by the Vegetarian Society. This is because they are cooked in dedicated frying vats, with a completely separate filtering unit.

Hi, I have noticed you have answered a question about the veggie delis not being suitable for vegetarians because of the oil filtration system. However your veggie burger is suitable for vegetarians, therefore there must be a problem with one of the ingredients in the veggie deli. Please explain!
