How much seed oil is in The Halal Shack's food?
The Halal Shack averages an estimated 8.4g of seed oil PUFA per menu item, about 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 The Halal Shack cooks with
Soybean oil for the fryer: the chain's own nutrition chart carries a soy allergen marker on the fries and its fried items are vegan, so no beef tallow is involved (the earlier tallow caveat is withdrawn). Soybean oil also in the white sauce and the other mayo-based sauces. Hummus, tzatziki and the rice carry no soy marker.
