Best Answer

Properly prepared French fries should not contain huge amounts of fat. Properly cooked French fries should not leave a greasy taste in the mouth. But all deep fried foods, including French fries, will contain more fat than foods cooked by other methods.

Are french fries vegan?

If the oil used to deep fry the potatoes has been previously used to for such things as fried chicken or chicken nuggets or chicken strips then the french fries are not vegan. This is because the chicken fat melts into the cooking oil which then soaks into the french fries and over a short period of time the oil becomes very full of animal fat. One safe place for vegan fast food french fries is In and Out Burger because their oil is only used to make fries. (there is no fried chicken on their menu) Sometimes sugar is used to flavor fries(?!); white sugar may have been processed with animal bones, so avoid sugar if you are vegan. Always check ingredients! Ingredient disclosure is required by law!
