Regarding kosher gelatin, there are various opinions depending on the scholar that you ask. My opinion is that it's ok for Muslims to consume, but you should do your own research. The McDonalds french fries in the US, still use beef fat according to their site: http://nutrition.mcdonalds.com/nutritionexchange/ingredientslist.pdf French Fries: Potatoes, vegetable oil (canola oil, hydrogenated soybean oil, natural beef flavor [wheat and milk derivatives]*, citric acid [preservative]), dextrose, sodium acid pyrophosphate (maintain color), salt. Prepared in vegetable oil (Canola oil, corn oil, soybean oil, hydrogenated soybean oil with TBHQ and citric acid added to preserve freshness). Dimethylpolysiloxane added as an antifoaming agent.
