Are French Fries Gluten Free?

Can you get French fries or chips? Let's talk about the gluten-free status of everyone's favorite snack - French fries!

French fries or chips are indeed made from gluten-free potatoes, making them a safe choice for individuals following a gluten-free diet. However, the concern lies in the potential for cross-contamination in the deep fryers where they are cooked.

When deep frying foods, the hot and bubbly oil can break off tiny particles of food. If the same fryer is used to cook items coated in wheat batter, like chicken nuggets, the oil becomes contaminated with gluten. This poses a risk for those with gluten intolerance as the gluten particles can transfer onto the gluten-free fries.

So, can you enjoy French fries when dining out? The answer is a bit tricky. While you can always make French fries at home, the experience of getting them fresh out of a deep fryer at a fast food joint is hard to beat. However, not all fast food chains are safe for gluten-free options.

Popular chains like McDonald's, Burger King, and Shake Shack use their deep fryers for multiple items, including those that contain gluten. This increases the risk of cross-contamination, making their French fries not entirely gluten-free.

If you're craving gluten-free fries without the worry of cross-contamination, your best bet would be Five Guys. They are known for using a dedicated fryer only for fries with no wheat flour-coated items, ensuring a safer option for gluten-sensitive individuals.

Next time you're out for fries, consider visiting a Five Guys outlet for a delicious and worry-free experience. Whether you prefer plain or Cajun fries, paired with ketchup, you can indulge without the fear of gluten contamination.

Remember, when it comes to gluten-free options, always inquire about the frying practices at restaurants to make informed choices. Stay safe and enjoy your gluten-free French fry adventure!
