McDonald's reveals secret of french fries success
On the company's website, there is information that suppliers use a secret. According to this information, they use an oil that contains meat flavor, which is mixed with hydrolyzed wheat and other ingredients.
In 2015, it was revealed that beef flavor is not necessarily derived from the meat itself, but is made with amino acids, citric acid, and other types of sugars. When mixed with oil and heated, they create the flavor of meat, which is completely vegetarian.

The change in the recipe for McDonald's fries occurred in 1990, when a controversy arose. At that time, the company only used pure vegetable oil to fry the potatoes, but customers told the company that they wanted to taste the same meat in them. From this feedback, fast food outlets began adding meat flavor to potatoes, and this practice continued until 2001.
However, in 2001, vegetarians asked the company not to add more meat flavor to potatoes so they could eat too. The TikTok video raised that question again, leaving non-meat eaters with second thoughts about McDonald's. Now, many people are eager for the company to clarify this issue and put an end to this uncertainty.
