McDonalds  www.mcdonalds.com

No menu.  See ingredient/nutrition/allergen guide.  On line.  The French Fries now list wheat as an ingredient. Chicken pattys, nuggets, breasts, and strips all contain wheat even before they are fried.  There is gluten in the angus burger patty, the fish and the Big Mac sauce.  Like many restaurants, McD’s combines all the oils at the end of the day, strains them and reuses the gluten contaminated oil the next day. The sliced bacon and the 100% beef patties may be OK but check how they are cooked.  The Southwest salad without chicken is wheat-free and the Bacon Ranch and Caesar salads both without chicken should be OK but NO Croutons.  Most Newman’s Own dressings are OK.  Scrambled eggs and the sausage and eggs are supposed to be cooked in GF liquid margarine.  Check before you order.  Salsa Roja and the cheeses are fine.  Hash browns are loaded with wheat!  The ice creams should be OK except for the McFlurry with Oreos.  Order ice cream in a bowl or cup.
