CHICAGO — McDonald's says its french fries are now trans-fat-free in all its restaurants in the United States and Canada. The big fast-food chain is catching up with its rivals in that area.
The company made the word official Thursday at its annual shareholders meeting at McDonald's Corp. headquarters in Oak Brook, Ill.
McDonald's has lagged other restaurant operators in switching over to a zero-trans-fat cooking oil out of worries it would compromise the taste of its trademark fries. It has been under increasing pressure from consumer advocates and some public officials to make the change.
The new oil is canola-based and includes corn and soy oils.
