..my daughter, age 3, had about 6 wks of eating dairy (when the allergist mistakenly thought she'd outgrown it) ― and consistently id'd some dairy-containing variants of favorite foods as "yucky"  (eg, loves dairy-free chicken nuggets, & plain chik fil a chicken, but spit out chik fil a nuggets that have a buttermilk rinse & whey in the breading)...

I so glad that this thread was posted. It has been awhile since I checked 
Burger King's ingredients list. I wonder if they changed the recipe 
recently. We went to BK earlier this week. My daughter, Rebecca, is 
sensitive to very small amounts of milk protein. She wouldn't eat the 
hamburger, and said "It tastes funny. Only McDonald's hamburgers are good." 

This is not the only time that she has tasted milk in something and when we 
checked sure enough it was there. Has anyone else noticed that they or 
their child can do this?

P.S. This discussion about ingredient lists makes me want to warn new folks 
that "artificial flavors" can mean milk products. Years ago, we had several 
months where Rebecca had symptoms but we couldn't find the culprit. It 
turned out to be the artificial flavor in the margerine we were using. 
Thankfully the Kosher labelling has worked for us so far. 

Also, "dairy-free" and "non-dairy" do NOT mean there is no milk. 
Furthermore, just because something looks like a milk product substitute 
does not mean that it is safe. For example, the second ingredient in most 
soy cheese is casein.

> I missed the buttermilk.. that's too bad, but it's good that you caught it 
for me. It looks like the only fast food hamburger that is supposed to be 
milk-free is McDonald's and I suspect that the last one I had had milk in 
it. I don't like their food anyway, hehe.
