Guest guest Posted June 5, 2002 Report Share Posted June 5, 2002 I just got this from a different list. Jo McDonalds is to pay 6.85 million pounds to Hindu and vegetarian groups following claims that it mislabelled french fries and hash browns as vegetarian. The company faced lawsuits after it was revealed that the vegetable oil used to prepare the fries and hash browns contained essence of beef for flavouring purposes. McDonalds says it has created a Dietary Practice /Vegetarian Advisory Panel, consisting of experts in consumer dietary practices, that will advise the company on dietary restrictions and guidelines. The company was first sued over the fries in Seattle last year. Lawsuits were subsequently filed in Illinois, California, New Jersey and Texas. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
