Martin B Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 On the back of the McDonalds place mats is all the nutritional information. I stumbled across the drinks section and looked at the milkshakes for calories etc. Then I saw that the Strawberry Milkshakes are not suitable for vegetarians but all of the others are! Why strawberry, isn't it a fruit?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muppet81 Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 I'm guessing Martin but there may be gelatine in it to make it thicker. They put this in lots of yoghurts. Failing that it could be that the colouring used is not veggie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen & co. Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 I heard they used to put chicken fat in the milkshakes to make them thick karen x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chocchick Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 You're making the mistake of thinking of it as a mixture of strawberry and milk, not a processed fast food full of potential additives. It's frightening when you start looking at the ingredients sometimes Some crisps like cheese and onion sometimes contain meat derivatives making them non-vegetarian.

spacedhopper Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 If McDonalds told me black was black i would question it, for years they claimed their fries were vegetarian while using some meat product or other to add flavouring and colour, the dirty, robbing, profiteering, lying, animal killing, ecological destroying ******* s (chose which ever word you wish, most fit). I wouldnt eat there if i was starving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Don't even think about eating one of their milkshakes either I try to eat as little processed food as possible but my one BIG weakness is sausages - I love them even really cheap and nasty ones There I have confessed One thing that puzzled me recently was a pepparami (sp?) which apparently contains 108% meat Can anyone explain this I really need to stay away from the ingredients lists Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Glad I've never stepped inside a Mc Donalds or eaten there ever. I don't like to think how many additives are in their foods. Also my Sister who's 19 says if she ever has children she won't let them have MacDonalds as a treat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myles Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 One thing that puzzled me recently was a pepparami (sp?) which apparently contains 108% meat Can anyone explain this I can explain this, although I can not explain this using pork. Tomato ketchup contains 116g of tomatoes in a 100g product this is because they have to sweat them down, this is exactly what they do with perrarami except with pork and they don't sweat them down. However strawberry milkshake is not vegeterian because it contains gelatin which is made from cows hooves. This is also why alot of sweets and jelly is not vegeterian.
