I am pretty sure they stopped doing that when trans-fat became really unpopular, and it also might have to do with making their fries edible to people who keep kosher, vegetarians, etc. -- that's the tough thing about literally serving billions of people
- dmm 16y agoThey stopped doing that when saturated fats became unpopular. Beef tallow doesn't contain trans fats. They stopped using beef tallow long before most people even heard of trans fats. If you are going to recite nutritional dogma at least get it right.
- danielle17 16y agosorry, I think its dumb dogma
- Tangurena 16y agoI worked at McDonalds at various times during the 1970s and 1980s. What went into the fry vats was labeled "100% vegetable shortening." It looked exactly like Crisco - execpt it came in large bricks instead of cans. I did remember hearing folks claiming they used beef tallow back then as well.
