"said the family had checked with McDonald's before she ate the fries and were assured the product was gluten-free."

What, they asked a pimply faced 17 year old "associate" behind the counter "Do your fries have any gluten in them?", "No, they're just potatoes"

I smell a finger in the chili.

When did everyone become so sensitive to their food? Here's where I believe in Darwin. If you can't eat regular, normal food,...goodbye. Move on. RIP

When did people who were sensitive about their food let their kids eat McDonald's french fries?

As far as the sensitivity thing goes, prepared foods have so many ingredients now, you never know what you're getting.

If a child has issues, maybe, just maybe, Mom should consider cooking things from scratch for herself.

Doesn't matter if they asked the 17 y/o behind the counter or the CEO. In our Anglo-American common law system, a company is responsible for the actions of its employees if those actions are done while on the job and as part of the job. The doctrine, respondeat superior, goes back to the age-old question: who's in the best position to avoid the harm...the people who cook a million fries a day or the person who visits McD's a few times a year?

Wait a doggone minute. I can't eat cauliflower without becoming highly offensive in a packed elevator. Are you telling me I need to kill myself?

McDonalds officially claimed that their fries were gluten free. It was on a website, which has probably now disappeared.
