Some people thought that McDonald fries are vegetarian but it has been revealed that beef flavor is added to it.

Screengrab/YouTubeAhh, the magic of McDonald's french-fried potatoes. What's that you say? There's more than just potatoes in there? You're right. And McDonald's wants to tell you about it.
McDonald USA continued its successful Our Food/Your Questions campaign this week with a video that reveals what, exactly, goes into a McFry — and it’s not just, as host Grant Imahara hopes in the video’s early moments, “a potato that came straight out of the ground.”
In the clip, Imahara “reverse engineers” the McDonald’s french fry, revealing that, yes, they do contain real potatoes — Russet Burbanks and Umatilla Russets, in the U.S., at least — but also a whole bunch of other stuff. In a second video about the fries (there are several), Imahara reveals that they contain salt and oil (canola and hydrogenated soy) but also sodium acid pyrophosphate, dimethylpolysiloxane, hydrolyzed wheat, hydrolyzed milk, citric acid, dextrose, natural beef flavour and tert-Butylhydroquinone. The fries contain 19 ingredients in total.
Screengrab/YouTubeYes, this is the full list of ingredients for McDonald's french fries. Surprised?
“That’s why McDonald’s french fry tastes like a french fry every time you eat it,” Imahara explains.
“It’s not a frankenfry composed of chemicals,” he continues. “It’s a french fry, made of potatoes.”
In 2012, McDonald’s Canada also released a video going behind-the-scenes with the chain’s north of the border french fry recipe. In Canada, McDonald’s fries are made with potatoes harvested from 30 Canadian growers, and are processed by McCain.

The U.S. french fry clips are just the latest in McDonald’s series with Imahara aimed at educating consumers on how, exactly, their products are put together. See the whole series — from nuggets to McRibs — here.
