Frequently asked

Does Chargrill Charlie's Australia use seed oils?

Based on our menu research, Chargrill Charlie's Australia cooks with: cottonseed oil (estimated). Across the 72 menu items we analyzed, it averages 14.7g estimated PUFA per item, earning a seed-oil grade of F (Extreme Risk).

What oil does Chargrill Charlie's Australia cook with?

Our research indicates: the fryer is COTTONSEED oil, printed by the chain itself: its own Nutritional Summary gives "Frier Oil: Refined, Bleached & Deodorised Cottonseed Oil" on the chips page, with the same line as "Oil:" on the wedges and "Oil Pickup:" on the schnitzel, and the wedges' 26% saturated share matches cottonseed exactly. Corrected 2026-09-18: both the old canola/vegetable estimate and the unverified duck-fat claim for the wedges are retired. The Farmhouse Rotisserie Chicken is basted, not fried - its ingredient list names an Olive Oil Blend (85% pomace) ahead of Soya Bean Oil, so the bird is modelled on the olive pool and its true PUFA sits above the filed figure. Preparation can vary by location, so treat PUFA numbers as estimates.

What are seed oils?

Seed oils — canola, soybean, sunflower, corn, and similar vegetable oils — are extracted from seeds using high heat and chemical solvents. They are very high in polyunsaturated fats (PUFAs), which are unstable at cooking temperatures and can oxidize easily. Many health-conscious eaters choose to minimize seed oils and prefer foods cooked in beef tallow, butter, coconut oil, or olive oil instead. This page shows estimated PUFA grams per menu item to help you make more informed choices. These are estimates — actual values vary by preparation and location. New to the topic?
