Of course they are. But read the above again, more carefully,
please. Simply because Mickey D's states that their flavoring
agents "contain wheat and dairy derivatives" does NOT equate
to saying that the fries MUST contain gluten, unless you are
claiming that all possible "wheat and dairy derivatives" also
MUST contain gluten. I would submit that it's very easy to name
some materials which could be considered derivatives of these,
and which do NOT contain gluten, therefore the original
assertion is nonsensical. See?
