- 1. I am a vegetarian, is it true that the 'Vegetable Deluxe' burger is NOT suitable for vegetarians? I have checked the McDonald's website however they fail to tell you what ingredients are in the food we are eating, and only give the nutritional value! Please help me!

Thanks for your question. All ingredients in the Vegetable Deluxe 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 that tiny traces of the vegetable oil used to fry chicken and fish products can come into contact with oil used to cook the vegetable patties and Pies, during the oil filtering process. The vats are filtered manually using a strict order of rotation to minimise any chance that oil residues from the previous filtering could get into the vat used for other products. Therefore while every precaution is taken in order to prevent this during the filtering process, we cannot categorically state this would never occur. (December 2011)

The "Nutrition Breakdown" sheet printed on the tray liners state that the "Spicy Veggie Toasted Deli Sandwich" is not suitable for vegetarians. It does not mention whether or not the Veggie Deluxe from the main menu is suitable for vegetarians. Is the former a mis-print and the latter an omission, or are these products both unsuitable for vegetarians?

Thank you for your question. All ingredients in the Spicy Veggie Deli and the Veggie Deluxe 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). Due to the design of the oil filtration system, however, there is a small chance the oil used to fry vegetable patties can come 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.

Thank you for your question. The Spicy Veggie Toasted Deli is completely meat free. However, this option is not dairy free.
With regards to vegetarian options, McDonald's works hard to accommodate all its customers as best as it possibly can, including vegetarians. Currently, McDonald’s believes it offers a good variety of food items that are suitable for vegetarians, including the French Fries, the Toasted Deli, the Veggie Sandwich and the Garden Side Salad and the Milkshakes. There are also snack options such as the Fruit Bag and Carrot Sticks.
