McDonald’s Fries Packed With Harmful Trans Fats
McDonald’s confessed that its fries contain a third more trans fats than it thought. New testing methods the company started to use in December have revealed more accurate trans fats amounts.
Coincedently, McDonald’s trans fat disclosure comes on the heels of it rolling out new packaging that contain nutritional information for their menu items.
McDonald’s has been reluctant to risk changing the taste of its iconic french fries. It pledged in September 2002 to switch to a new oil that would halve the level of harmful trans fatty acid in its fries. But it has delayed those plans, citing product quality and customer satisfaction as priorities while continuing testing.
