Frequently asked
Does Tahini's Canada use seed oils?
Based on our menu research, Tahini's Canada cooks with: canola and soybean oil. Across the 44 menu items we analyzed, it averages 8.5g estimated PUFA per item, earning a seed-oil grade of D (Very High Risk).
What oil does Tahini's Canada cook with?
Our research indicates: Canola fryer oil (fries, poutine fries, falafel, chicken tenders, samosas, fried onions, pita chips, churro bites) - canola is the Canadian foodservice default and Tahini's June 2026 allergen chart shows soy on the fries only as a trace 'M' facility flag, not as an ingredient, which rules out a soybean fry blend; the bigger PUFA source here is the sauce line, since the signature garlic sauce (toum) is a whipped canola-oil emulsion - the 200 g Garlic Dip carries 150 g of fat, essentially all canola; tahini and hummus add sesame oil (about 42% PUFA); tzatziki, feta and cheese curds are dairy fat. Preparation can vary by location, so treat PUFA numbers as estimates.
Does Tahini's Canada use beef tallow?
No. Our research indicates Tahini's Canada cooks with canola and soybean oil, not beef tallow. For chains that fry in tallow or other real fats, see Tallow Watch.

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?
