McDonald's and vegan options
McDonald's has introduced plant-based items in some markets (McPlant in Europe, for example), but availability is inconsistent. Fries are cooked in vegetable oil in the US but may share fryers with animal products. Always verify locally.
We never claim an entire brand is vegan unless evidence supports it. Always check individual products.
