What oil does Chipotle Canada cook with?
Our research indicates: high-oleic sunflower oil and canola, and nothing else: Chipotle Canada's own 52-item ingredient list names HIGH OLEIC SUNFLOWER OIL in the carnitas, tortilla chips, corn tortillas, fajita vegetables, rice and beans, and CANOLA OIL in the flour tortillas. Corrected 2026-09-18 from a record that claimed rice bran oil for the proteins and the rice - rice bran oil appears nowhere in the Canadian ingredient list. Preparation can vary by location, so treat PUFA numbers as estimates.

What should I avoid at Chipotle Canada?

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. New to the topic?
