Frequently asked

Does Kelseys Original Roadhouse Canada use seed oils?

Based on our menu research, Kelseys Original Roadhouse Canada cooks with: canola oil. Across the 121 menu items we analyzed, it averages 12.7g estimated PUFA per item, earning a seed-oil grade of F (Extreme Risk).

What oil does Kelseys Original Roadhouse Canada cook with?

Our research indicates: canola fryer oil (fries, sweet potato fries, onion rings, poutine, breaded and non-breaded wings, calamari, hand-breaded tenders, fried pita, funnel cake fries). The evidence is the chain's own panels - fries 8.1% saturated, onion rings 5.3%, fried pita 5.6%, fish 9.7% - shares only a canola-type oil reaches. The record's earlier reason, that the allergen table declares no soy on fried items, was void and is retired (2026-09-18): refined soybean oil is allergen-exempt in Canada, so an absent soy declaration proves nothing. Kelseys is a Recipe Unlimited brand, the same group as Harvey's, which runs 100% canola, plus Swiss Chalet and Montana's; Cara (now Recipe Unlimited) moved every brand off trans-fat frying oils in 2007. The cold dips and dressings are soybean - Ranch 15.8% saturated with egg as the only other fat, Caesar 16.7%, Blue Cheese 20%, Cajun 21% - except the Sweet Onion Vinaigrette at 6.7%, which is canola. The heaviest PUFA loads are those dressings and the beer-battered Salt & Vinny Fish & Chips, which is almost entirely fryer oil (93 g total fat against only 9 g saturated). Preparation can vary by location, so treat PUFA numbers as estimates.

Does Kelseys Original Roadhouse Canada use beef tallow?

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?
