Silicone and oil found in McDonald’s french fries

Tertiary butylhydroquinone (BHQT) is a food preservative.

Another surprising ingredient is sodium pyrophosphate, an additive (present in household detergents) that can cause digestive problems at high doses.

There is also a flavor of beef. If this ingredient is not a problem, you may be wondering what it does in the French fries. Is it used to mask an unpleasant taste? In addition, the presence of this additive carries the risk of frightening vegetarians who thought they were eating natural potatoes.

Grant explains that making McDonald's fries requires many steps.

We harvest potatoes first in the fields. The tubers are peeled, cut and bleached.
They are then driven to more than 110 km/h through a cutting grid, which gives them the shape of their stem.
