The ketchup has a 'filler" in it these days that's more robust than what they had been using ~ I would imagine they had some shelf life trouble and swapped out rice flour for wheat flour.

There's also this ingredient called "artificial beef flavor" ~ it's OK for the Hindus but it's made out of wheat.

They stick that in their packets ~ which is where the problem arises.

The big ketchup vending thing in the stores where you squeeze on a handle to pump it out also has the flavor stuff in it so I'm not eating any more McDonald's ketchup of any kind until they verify that any of it is gluten free again. Right now their own sites says stuff with that flavor enhancer is not OK.

Also, they put the same flavor enhancer in the sauce on the pork ribs.

That's just AMAZING, as the last time that I had an OBVIOUS gluten-reaction was when I ordered the french fries, so I presumed that it wasn't a dedicated french-fryer; amazingly, my mate who can eat anything, insisted that it was the ketchup that sickened me, even though I insisted that it was Heinz, and thus safe.

I will keep my eyes peeled for the "artificial beef flavor."

Actually, I almost never eat anything that I don't personally cook... from scratch, but I'd mistakenly presumed that the french fries & ketchup would be SAFE, after all that ruckus years back about them frying their "gluten free french fries" in the same oil as all the breaded foods.
