Question: are there chemicals in mcdonald's fries?
Answer: Chemicals on the list include dimethylpolysiloxane, sodium acid pyrophosphate, and tertiary butylhydroquinone (TBHQ) — which are all FDA-approved. So to end the clip, Imahara says, “At the end of the day it's not a 'Franken-fry' composed of chemicals — McDonald's french fries are made from potatoes.”
