Frequently asked

Does Salad and Go use seed oils?

Based on our menu research, Salad and Go cooks with: canola oil. Across the 108 menu items we analyzed, it averages 5.1g estimated PUFA per item, earning a seed-oil grade of B (Medium Risk).

What oil does Salad and Go cook with?

Our research indicates: Oil never named by the chain (nothing on the site, FAQ or the July 2026 guide), but the guide's own component panels settle the cooking oil as canola-family: every fried or oil-finished component prints 0 g saturated on 2-6 g fat (crispy onions 6/0, cornbread croutons 5/0, tortilla strips 5/0, sweet potatoes 2/0, brussels 2.5/0), which soybean could not print. Salads are published WITHOUT dressing; wraps include one 2.5 oz dressing sachet. Balsamic Vinaigrette prints 10.9% sat, so it carries a second higher-saturate oil (canola/olive or canola/soybean - the one real fork). There is no Greek Vinaigrette any more (Creamy Feta pairs the Mediterranean); the earlier 'olive oil (Mediterranean dressing)' note is retired. Preparation can vary by location, so treat PUFA numbers as estimates.

Does Salad and Go use beef tallow?

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

Is Salad and Go seed oil free?

No. Our research indicates Salad and Go 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 Salad and Go?

What should I avoid at Salad and Go?

Cobb Wrap is the highest-PUFA item we analyzed at Salad and Go, at an estimated 15.6g 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?
