How much seed oil is in Buffalo Wild Wings's food?
Buffalo Wild Wings averages an estimated 9.4g of seed oil PUFA per menu item, about 2.4 days of the 4g daily goal many people in the seed oil free community aim for, in one average item. Method and grade scale on the methodology page.
What Buffalo Wild Wings cooks with
beef shortening/beef tallow for all fried items (wings, boneless wings, cauliflower wings, tenders, tots, chips and most fried chicken) per the official BWW Allergen & Preparation Guide FRIED column; highly refined soybean oil remains in sauces, dressings and some prepared products; shared fryers throughout. NOTE: bone-in and boneless wings still carry meaningful PUFA from the chicken fat itself (~0.20 fraction, corn/soy-fed birds), so tallow frying does not make them low-PUFA; item gram values are pending a nutrition-guide recompute and currently err high
