Chocolats Favoris Canada Seed Oil Report Card
Based on our menu research, Chocolats Favoris Canada cooks with: No fryer oil in the core menu. The signature dipped cones are coated in real chocolate whose only fat is cocoa butter - the official ingredient list for the Classique Lait coating is sucre, beurre de cacao, poudre de lait entier, chocolat non sucre, poudre de lait ecreme, lecithine de soya, arome naturel, with no added vegetable oil - and cocoa butter is roughly 3% polyunsaturated. The soft serve base is a dairy-fat mix (about 3-4% PUFA) and the dairy-free oat soft serve uses a coconut/vegetable fat that is over 80% saturated, so also very low PUFA. The two places PUFA creeps up are the hazelnut praline coatings (Fondant Noisette, Noisette Croquante), where hazelnut oil is about 10% PUFA, and the baked/fried add-ins: brownie, cookie dough and cookie pieces made with canola or a canola/palm shortening, and the churros in the Poutine Churros, which are the only deep-fried item and are fried in canola, the Canadian foodservice default. Even under the worst-case assumption that the coatings contained a palm or coconut setting fat, a full dipped cone would still land near 2 g PUFA, so these scores are robust.. Across the 38 menu items we analyzed, it averages 1.4g 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?
