How much seed oil is in Wegmans's food?
Wegmans averages an estimated 8.6g 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 Wegmans cooks with
Soybean oil blend (soybean oil with fully hydrogenated soybean oil) in the deli fryers, per Wegmans' own ingredient statements. Wegmans' online-shop records for its fried chicken, chicken wings and fried sushi rolls say "Vegetable Oil Blend (Soybean Oil, Fully Hydrogenated Soybean Oil)", its egg rolls and spring rolls say "Fried in Soybean and/or Sesame Oil", and its parmesan chicken and crispy chicken breast say "Fried in Organic Expeller Pressed Soybean Oil" (wegmans.com, read 2026-10-21). Wegmans' made-in-store nutrition guides for the hot bars, wings, pizza, subs and grill print no ingredients and do not name the oil, so for those dishes the oil is estimated from the shop statements (soybean oil, the oil Wegmans names most often). Salad, olive bar and grab-and-go sides often name olive, canola or sunflower oil instead.
