NEW YORK (Reuters) - McDonald's plans to issue a new apology and pay $10 million (7 million pounds) to vegetarian and religious groups for using beef flavouring in its French fries, in a proposed settlement of lawsuits charging that the company had misled consumers.

Does beef flavouring contain any actual BEEF?

I don't believe it does contain real beef, but I may be wrong on this.

What I think it is, from their last flap about this, is that the fat used in the fryolaters is rendered from beef, therefore a real beef essence is present. An apparent no-no for vegetarians, I suppose.

Actually, compared with the other fast-food fries, McD's are quite good. Probably wouldn't like 'em nearly as much if they're not fried in beef fat, though.

Their 'burgers', however, are a whole different story.
