How much seed oil is in Wingstop's food?
Wingstop averages an estimated 16.9g of seed oil PUFA per menu item, about 4.2 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 Wingstop cooks with
Everything is fried in soybean oil (~55% PUFA) — it does not use beef tallow (the switch rumors are false); buttery dry rubs (lemon pepper, garlic parm) and soybean-oil ranch/blue cheese dips add the most on top.
