How much seed oil is in Denny's's food?
The average menu item at Denny's carries an estimated 8.4g of seed oil PUFA.
That is grade D (Very High Risk) on our A to F scale, and roughly 2.1 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 Denny's cooks with
Fryer oil is a soybean/canola/cottonseed vegetable blend; griddles are seasoned with the same fryer oil, so griddled items run high.
