There have been several posts recently about Burger King fries, including:

I have been in contact with BK for some time on this topic, and have previously
posted to the List a directory of cities where BK was testing the fries.  I was
told yesterday by my contact at BK that the scope of the test had SHRUNK and
that only a few sites now carry "gluten fries".  The other test sites have
switched to a different coated fry which uses potato starch and has no gluten
or milk products.

I am going to be provided with a list of the current sites, and will post it to
the List when I get it.  Actually I had been waiting for that list before
posting anything, but so many people have written about BK fries in the past
few days that I felt it was best to at least put out this information.
