Frequently asked

Does Valentine Canada use seed oils?

Based on our menu research, Valentine Canada cooks with: canola oil. Across the 65 menu items we analyzed, it averages 12.1g estimated PUFA per item, earning a seed-oil grade of F (Extreme Risk).

What oil does Valentine Canada cook with?

Our research indicates: Canola oil in the deep fryers (fresh-cut never-frozen fries, poutine, onion rings, pogos, chicken strips). Confirmed by the official nutrition table: fries carry only 8-9% of their total fat as saturated (Regular Fries 29 g fat / 2.5 g sat, Large 65 g / 6 g, Extra Large 96 g / 8 g), which matches canola (~7% sat) and rules out soybean (~15% sat), palm or shortening. Steamed hot dogs and flat-top burgers are not fried, so they stay low; mayo-based club sandwiches and guedilles carry canola/soybean PUFA. Preparation can vary by location, so treat PUFA numbers as estimates.

Does Valentine Canada use beef tallow?

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

Is Valentine Canada seed oil free?

No. Our research indicates Valentine 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 Valentine Canada?

What should I avoid at Valentine 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?
