What is vegan at McDonalds? Even their fries have beef flavoring added

The fries are vegan in Australia ever since they stopped cooking them in beef tallow - around early 2000s iirc.

However, their own website says they offer no menu options certified as vegan or vegetarian, due to cross-contamination being something they don't wish to deal with.

Understandable as additional prep areas would be quite expensive, but also it's a pretty weak copout when they could go to the effort of labelling their vegan/vegetarian items (with the asterisked proviso that they may have cross-contam).. I suspect it's really to allow them to change up menu item suppliers to cheaper alternatives whenever they like, because they also do not bother to label any menu items with allergen info - and that's very standard across even small cafes nowadays. To find allegen info you have to dig through a PDF that they update every few months.
