Per-allergen evidence
McDonald's US offers a small number of vegan-friendly items, such as apple pies and select beverages. The McPlant burger is no longer available. French fries and hash browns are not vegan, as they are cooked in beef tallow. The restaurant does not have a dedicated vegan menu or a separate preparation area, so cross-contamination with animal products is possible. Staff can accommodate requests like removing cheese, but the overall options remain very limited.
