| I had this message sent to me. Any truth to this? I deleted the original sender's email address. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Original Message > > From: McDonald's Corporation [mailto:McDonaldLand@pop.net] > Sent: Tuesday, March 06, 2001 8:04 AM > To: > Subject: RE: McDonald's Reply > > Hello: > > Thank you for taking the time to contact McDonald's with your questions > regarding the ingredients in our french fries. For flavor enhancement, McDonald's french fry suppliers use a miniscule amount of beef flavoring as an ingredient in the raw product. The reason beef is not > listed as an ingredient is because McDonald's voluntarily (restaurants are not required to list ingredients) follows the "Code of Federal Regulations" (required for packaged goods) for labeling its products. As such, like food labels you would read on packaged goods... the ingradients in "natural flavors" are not broken down. We are sorry if this has caused any confusion. > > We hope you have found this information helpful and that we have the > opportunity to serve you in the future.

| Salamalaikum, So what's wrong with beef? If you're following the opinion that we can consume beef in a country where the majority are christians, I don't see any problem with it. Of course, if you're following the other opinion, that's another story. Salam |
