A viral sensation on TikTok, renowned for his knack for uncovering “fast food secrets,” has once again sent shockwaves through social media with his latest revelation about McDonald’s famed “World Famous Fries.”
Jordan Howlett, a self-employed social media strategist hailing from San Diego, dropped a bombshell in a recent TikTok video, shedding light on why McDonald’s fries stand out from the rest.

In his widely viewed video, Howlett disclosed that McDonald’s fries owe their distinctive flavor to the inclusion of beef flavoring mixed into the vegetable oil used for frying—a revelation that has left many viewers astonished.
Concerns were raised among vegetarians, as Howlett pointed out that the beef flavoring might not sit well with those adhering to a meat-free diet.
