“For our customers, nothing can replace our iconic French fries, but they also appreciate some variation from time to time. That’s why, after our Potatoes, Crousties, and Wavy Fries, we are now happy to present our Vegetable Fries as a way to offer new flavors and celebrate our strong link with the French terroir,” explains Anne Lainé, marketing director of McDonald’s France.

“We are very proud of this production, which was made possible thanks to our collaboration with our long-time partner McCain. More than 3,200 tons of vegetables were grown for this launch through the creation of these new channels, expanding our ability to innovate further in the coming years,” explains Eloi de la Celle, sales, quality and logistics manager at McDonald’s France.
