Hello, I'm a food industry expert with a focus on dietary preferences and food production processes. Let's dive into the topic of whether McDonald's fries are vegan friendly.

McDonald's fries are typically made from potatoes, which are vegan. However, the oil used to cook the fries at McDonald's contains beef fat, which makes them not suitable for a vegan diet. Additionally, during the cooking process, the fries are often cooked in the same oil as other non-vegan items, which can lead to cross-contamination.

Some McDonald's locations may use different oils or have separate fryers for their fries, which could potentially make them vegan friendly. However, it's important to note that McDonald's menu items and preparation methods can vary by location and country.

To be certain, vegans should always ask the staff at their local McDonald's about the ingredients and preparation methods for their fries before consuming them.
