Frequently asked
Does Robin's Donuts Canada use seed oils?
Based on our menu research, Robin's Donuts Canada cooks with: palm oil and vegetable oil blend. Across the 95 menu items we analyzed, it averages 2.8g estimated PUFA per item, earning a seed-oil grade of A (Low Risk).
What oil does Robin's Donuts Canada cook with?
Our research indicates: palm-based frying shortening for the donuts, not a liquid seed oil - Robin's own nutrition puts saturated fat at 45-48% of total donut fat (9 g of 20 g in a yeast donut, 13 g of 26 g in a coconut cake ring, plus 0.2-0.3 g trans), which is the fingerprint of a palm/palm-kernel shortening; the muffins, cakes and oatmeal bars are batter-mixed with a liquid canola-type oil instead (blueberry muffin: 19 g fat but only 1.3 g saturated), the grill runs canola, and the deli sandwiches lean on canola mayo. Preparation can vary by location, so treat PUFA numbers as estimates.

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?
