Frequently asked
Does Thai Express Canada use seed oils?
Based on our menu research, Thai Express Canada cooks with: canola oil. Across the 255 menu items we analyzed, it averages 6.6g estimated PUFA per item, earning a seed-oil grade of C (High Risk).
What oil does Thai Express Canada cook with?
Our research indicates: canola (wok/stir-fry oil, and the fryer used for imperial rolls and fried dumplings). Thai Express does not publish an ingredient statement, but its own Canadian nutrition table gives the stir-fry, noodle and fried-rice bases 25-29 g total fat with only 1-2 g saturated (about 7% saturated of total fat), which matches canola rather than soybean (15%), cottonseed (26%) or palm (49%); coconut milk supplies the saturated fat in the curries, the Panaeng bowl and the peanut dishes, and roasted peanuts/cashews add PUFA to those items. Preparation can vary by location, so treat PUFA numbers as estimates.
Does Thai Express Canada use beef tallow?
No. Our research indicates Thai Express Canada cooks with canola oil, not beef tallow. For chains that fry in tallow or other real fats, see Tallow Watch.
Is Thai Express Canada seed oil free?
No. Our research indicates Thai Express Canada cooks with canola oil, which includes seed oils. See the lower-PUFA orders above for the cleanest picks.
What is the safest thing to order at Thai Express Canada?
Tamarind Chili Shak-a-Bowl is the lowest-PUFA item we analyzed at Thai Express Canada, at an estimated 2.0g PUFA. See the Safest Orders list on this page for more options.
What should I avoid at Thai Express Canada?
Tom Yum Fried Rice (Tofu) is the highest-PUFA item we analyzed at Thai Express Canada, at an estimated 13.7g PUFA. Fried items and creamy, mayo-based sauces are usually the heaviest.
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?
