Blenz Coffee Canada Seed Oil Report Card
Based on our menu research, Blenz Coffee Canada cooks with: No deep fryer on site - Blenz is a coffee house and every food item arrives finished or par-baked from bakery and food partners, then goes through an oven or panini press. The fried items on the menu (chicken, beef and veggie samosas and rolls, and the beignets) are par-fried at the supplier in canola, the Canadian foodservice default. Muffins, loaves, brownies and bar squares are baked with canola oil or a canola/palm shortening, which makes the muffin case the highest-PUFA part of the bakery. Croissants, scones and the Nanaimo bar are butter-based and land very low. The single biggest PUFA source on the whole menu is the mayonnaise in the cold sandwiches - Canadian foodservice mayo is a canola or canola/soybean emulsion - so egg salad and tuna salad score far above anything else Blenz sells. All drinks are coffee, tea, milk and chocolate based and carry essentially no PUFA; the exception is the peanut butter protein shake, where the peanut butter itself is about 30% PUFA.. Across the 40 menu items we analyzed, it averages 2.9g estimated PUFA per item, earning a seed-oil grade of A (Low Risk).

What are seed oils?
Seed oils — canola, soybean, sunflower, corn, and similar vegetable oils — are extracted from seeds using high heat and chemical solvents. They are very high in polyunsaturated fats (PUFAs), which are unstable at cooking temperatures and can oxidize easily. Many health-conscious eaters choose to minimize seed oils and prefer foods cooked in beef tallow, butter, coconut oil, or olive oil instead. This page shows estimated PUFA grams per menu item to help you make more informed choices. These are estimates — actual values vary by preparation and location. Curious why people avoid them?
