US vegans will not be partaking any time soon. McDonalds still uses beef and milk along with oil for the fries.

In other counties I believe McDonalds uses vegetable oil for the fries.

They use vegetable oil in the US. The reason why McDonald fries are not vegan is due to the flavoring, not the oil.

From https://www.mcdonalds.com/us/en-us/product/small-french-frie...

Thanks for the clarity! I did not write that very well. Didn't mean to imply that is was something other than vegetable oil plus some animal-based seasonings.
