Edited on August 17,2012. I received a comment which I have chosen to publish. One reader stated that they believe that McDonalds french fries contain gluten.
I checked McDonald's canadian website today for the updated list of ingredients and have pasted the list here:
Hey readers....from the above listing which ingredient do you think contains gluten?

Original Post :
I sent in a request to McDonald's in order to find out which of their foods are gluten free and this is the list that they sent to me. They also wanted to remind me that they don't manage their restaurants in a way that ensures that the foods with gluten have not touched the gluten free items, therefore their list included only the items that don't have gluten listed as one of their initial ingredients.
Disclaimer-NOTE: Neither this blog nor I take any liability for this list. I would encourage anyone with questions to contact McDonald's head office themselves for further details.
