Are french fries in the US QSR chains now trans fat free?

The check. For each of the chains, we bought and analyzed fries from five to nine restaurants in five states.

CR's take. In our sampling, Wendy's still missed its mark. So did Burger King. McDonald's fries claim a high 8 g for most locations and 0 g for New York City, and they met those claims. The best way to cut trans fat from fast-food fries? Try to stick with fries from Arby's or KFC, which were virtually free of trans fats (and choose a small serving).
