Will McDonald's Use GMO Potatoes for Its Famous French Fries?
Golden, crispy french fries from McDonald's are a food so beloved by Americans that you can almost taste them just by thinking about them—even if it's been years since you've sworn off fast food. But something deep inside those unforgettable taters may be changing.

Re: Will McDonald's Use GMO Potatoes for Its Famous French Fries?
I would be SHOCKED if the potatoes weren't already GMO. I just assume these days that most foods being sold at most places are GMO or have GMO ingredients.

If for some strange reason the potatoes themselves aren't GMO, you can bet your bottom dollar that the oil (veggie oil-soy, corn etc) used to fry them is of the most DNA corrupt GMO you can find.

The GMO potatoes are probably the least terrifying ingredient found in the fries.

For most foods, if the main ingredient itself isn't GMO, then you can rest assured that many components of the food do contain GMOs. The oils in the mayo, the seasoning, the condiments, the breads, the sauces etc…high fructose corn syrup, soy lecithin, wheat, corn flour and oils etc


But even scarier than that is non food ingredients used in these foods. No I'm not talking about that infamous dough conditioner that is also used in yoga mats, but the ones that are completely made in a lab- the ones that they use to trick our senses and are used for flavor. I can never remember what it's called but its basically flavor in a bottle, because yes, they can chemically produce and bottle any flavor they want in a liquid form.

Then there is the sucralose…
ahhh

There are no commercially available GMO potatoes in the US. Simplot Foods is working on a GMO potato that will not produce the carcinogen acrylamide when fried. Many products are genetically modified for a good reasons.
