Frequently asked

Does Thaizone Canada use seed oils?

Based on our menu research, Thaizone Canada cooks with: canola oil. Across the 57 menu items we analyzed, it averages 4.6g estimated PUFA per item, earning a seed-oil grade of B (Medium Risk).

What oil does Thaizone Canada cook with?

Our research indicates: canola (deep fryer for the battered Tao chicken and Tao cauliflower, imperial rolls, fried wontons and poutine fries, and the wok/stir-fry oil). Thaizone publishes no ingredient statement, but its own Canadian Nutrition Facts table pins the fryer: Tao Chicken on rice is 32 g total fat with only 3 g saturated (9%), Tao Cauliflower 20 g / 2 g (10%), the Imperial Roll 8 g / 1 g and the tempura shrimp 15 g / 1.5 g (10%). A 9-12% saturated share across every deep-fried item matches canola (7%) and rules out soybean (15%), cottonseed (26%) and palm (49%), and canola is the standard Quebec foodservice fryer oil. Coconut milk supplies the saturated fat in the Thai soups and the yellow/red curries (those dishes read 40-56% saturated), peanuts add PUFA to Pad Thai, the Thai soup and the Peanut Stir-Fry, and the sesame mayo plus spicy mayo add more canola oil to the PokThai bowls and the Supreme Fried Rice. Portions are unusually lean for a wok chain (12-24 g total fat on 600 g+ dishes), so the stir-fry mains score low. Preparation can vary by location, so treat PUFA numbers as estimates.

Does Thaizone Canada use beef tallow?

No. Our research indicates Thaizone Canada cooks with canola oil, not beef tallow. For chains that fry in tallow or other real fats, see Tallow Watch.

Is Thaizone Canada seed oil free?

What is the safest thing to order at Thaizone Canada?

What should I avoid at Thaizone Canada?

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?
