I just read the posting about BK fries and wheat.
 
I own several Dairy Queen restaurants and we are now systemwide required to
sell a "coated" french fry.
 
These fries have a wheat coating which enables them to "hold" better under
heat lamps and remain crispy and not greasy.
 
I suspect this is the same process used in the new baked Lays chips which
contain wheat.
 
I followed the postings about McDonald's fries with interest as I had always
thought that they were "safe".
 
BTW any large fast food restaurant would use one or more fryers strictly for
fries and use a separate one for breaded products to lengthen the life of the
fat; but that's a mute point now with all the "coated" fries!
