VHP refuses to accept McDonald's clarifications

The Vishwa Hindu Parishad on Saturday refused to accept the clarifications from McDonald's over the controversy generated by allegations of beef tallow being used in some of the fast food giant's preparations, but said that it would take any step only after seeking legal advice.

Stating that there had been no complaint against the McDonald's in India, VHP general secretary Acharya Giriraj Kishore told reporters in New Delhi that since the company had 'lied' in the US, there was a 'possibility of the same being done here'.

The clarification by the McDonald's will not be accepted till a decision is taken on the suit filed against the company in the US or the complainant withdraws the petition after being 'satisfied'.

He, however, added that the organisation would take any action only after seeking legal advice.

McDonald's India said that its vegetarian products, including French, fries do not contain any beef or animal extract and has taken precautions to avoid any incidents in its outlets in India.
