McDonald's Fish Fillet :
McDonald Corporation has changed the coating formula very recently. The new coating includes whey, Turmeric Extract and Natural Flavor. MCG is in the processing of finding the Halal status of those three ingredients. Please avoid eating fish fillet at McDonald until the investigation is complete.
Update: McDonald Corporation 's consumer satisfaction department has refused to provide the information on the Kosher status of Whey and Natural Flavor and absence or presence of alcohol in Natural Flavor to MCG. So the Fish Fillet is now considered as Mushbooh. We request Muslim consumers to write or call McDonald in big number so that they will provide above information. We need your help for this purpose.
