McProblems

From Economic Times:
Mcdonald’s faces at least three lawsuits claiming the fast-food giant misled the public, after it acknowledged earlier this week that its French fries contain milk and wheat ingredients. Debra Moffatt of Illinois seeks unspecified damages in a suit filed on Friday in Chicago.

Her attorney, said his client has celiac disease, which causes gastrointestinal symptoms set off by eating gluten, a protein found in wheat.

Jack Daly, McDonald’s senior vice-president, said that the company hadn’t reviewed the case yet and is testing its fries for gluten through a food allergy research programme at the University of Nebraska.
