McDonalds is really trying to be more transparent about what goes into their food. Mythbusters host Grant Imahara took us from fryer to farm in a reverse process peek at what goes into McDonalds potatoes. While the global burger chain does explain the usage of a few unpronounceable ingredients meant to preserve color and texture, it looks like these practices arent being implemented across the board. After checking out McDonalds.co.uk, a blogger on Boing Boing points out that McDonalds french fries in the U.K. appear to have far fewer ingredients than those produced in the U.S.-- and no crazy, hard-to-say additives. FoxNews.com did a side by side comparison of the two websites and found the same information. Across the pond, Brits are enjoying McDonalds French fries sans additives like Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate, Dimethylpolysiloxane and natural beef flavor. Dimethylpolysiloxane is added as an anti-foaming agent but its also a silicon-based organic polymer used to make Silly Putty. Hmm. Looks like the chain has some more explaining to do to American consumers.
