McDonald's is not sure quite sure what you are referring to, as it does not use a ranch dressing for its carrots. But MSG is not used in any food or drink sold by McDonald's UK.

-
As you have said yourself, this is just another rumour that surrounds McDonald’s, and the company can confirm that there is no truth to it. The carrot sticks are made from carrots similar to the ones you might buy in a supermarket. They are cut and sealed to help keep them fresh and free of contamination, with no sugar added at any point.

-
McDonald's doesn't think the carrots look like a pigeon's fist; in fact they look like carrots. They are made from carrots just like the ones you might buy in a supermarket, cut and then sealed to help keep them fresh and free of contamination.

McDonald's does not dye its carrot sticks. They are 100 percent carrots and nothing else. The carrots are peeled, washed and pre-packed for customer convenience

-
McDonald’s sells pre-packed carrots sealed in an airtight bag straight after they have been peeled, chopped and washed to maintain their freshness. They are sold in this way because providing them in pre-packed bags is simply more convenient for the customer.
