1. You have stated on your website that the Oreo McFlurry is suitable for vegetarians. However, having contacted the manufacturers for Oreos in the UK, they have confirmed that Oreos manufactured for the UK are not suitable for Vegetarians. Is the Oreo McFlurry then actually suitable for vegetarians?
Thank you for your question. The Oreo McFlurry is not a permanent menu item but yes, it is suitable for vegetarians. A full list of all standard McFlurry ingredients is listed in the 'Nutrition' section at www.mcdonalds.co.uk. (February 2009)

2. are mcflurrys and sudaes vegatarian, and why dont you have a veggy option for the late night menu, surely thats descrimination
Yes. All Mcdonald's Sundaes and most McFlurry desserts are suitable for vegetarians. The only McFlurry that is not suitable is the Nestle Smarties Mcflurry which contains E120 cochineal, a red colouring agent of animal origin. If you have suggestions for vegetarian options on the late night menu please contact McDonald's Customer Services on 08705 244 622. (Jan 09)

3. I have recently found out that my daughter who is 12 years old is diabetic. Could you please advise me the sugar content of the mcflurry without the chocolate toppings (we can add our own sugar free sweets). We went into mcdonalds stafford today and on this website plus your ingredients website and I was unable to uncover this information.
Recent analysis shows that the McFlurry Ice Cream without the topping contains 21.4g of sugar per 100g or 36.38g of sugar per portion.

4. I heard about some lawsuit in aversion to poultry when someone had a mcflurry, there was apparently oil from chicken feathers in the ingredients or something like that, instead of repeating the ingredients why not tell the consumer the english terms(terms everyone will understand)?
This is a complete myth. The ingredients for the McFlurry and Sundaes are available in the 'Ingredient List' at www.mcdonalds.co.uk. There are no poultry ingredients or flavourings contained in either of them. (March 2008)
