“Are you french fries halal? Are there any animal based flavour or tallow being used in its preparation?”

McDonald's Canada

Hi Syed. We don't use any animal sourced ingredients in our fries or in our cooking oil. (We phased out the use of beef tallow in 2007.)

When it comes to halal designation in general, our restaurant operations do not currently allow us to separate halal meat from our regular McDonald's items. Nor can we ensure other products in the restaurant meet the standard required to achieve halal designations.
