'Consumer Reports' Rates Fast Food French Fries
Unfortunately, Consumer Reports only hits the big three—McDonald's, Burger King, and Wendy's. The two redheads get "very good" ratings while the King merely receives a "good," with CR saying what I've always thought about BK fries: "coating detracts from the quality and makes texture a little tough, not crispy."

Ugh, I don't go to the top two anyway, especially since McDonald's uses beef fat as flavor in its fries. Burger King is an "occasional" spot because of the BK Veggie (I'm a vegetarian) and my husband's penchant for Whoppers.
So, I guess there's no love for Jack in the Box (it is a hometown favorite in San Diego!) or In N Out. Tragedy -- and not much of a Consumer Report, if you ask me.

No good fry was every frozen and that's all I have to say about that.

@Lorena - While McD's used to cook their fries in beef tallow, they switched to pure veggie oil in 1990. They used some natural and artificial flavorings to make sure the taste didn't change, but there's no animal products in their fries now.
