Cyprus	Palm and sunflower oil (a high-oleic grade is named) What our record says palm oil and high oleic sunflower oil: the chain's own Cyprus allergen guide (v.22 September 2026) states 'Our fryer oil contains: Palm oil and High olelic sunflower oil' for the shared fryer (fish filet, crispy and original chicken patties, nuggets, Chicken Royale, onion rings, cheese nuggets, fries, plant-based nuggets and royale); beef patties, sausages, halloumi and grilled chicken are flame-broiled. Sauces (mayonnaise-type) not disclosed
Denmark	Canola (rapeseed) and sunflower oil What our record says blend of sunflower and rapeseed oil in the fryers, no palm (chain-stated: 'Burger King Danmark bruger ikke palmeolie i fritureolien. I stedet er det en blanding af solsikke- og rapsolie'); rapeseed oil in buns, mayonnaise and dips
Poland	Canola (rapeseed) and sunflower oil (a high-oleic grade is named) What our record says fryer blend of high-oleic sunflower, rapeseed and sunflower oil: the chain's own Polish ingredient statements give the fries and coated chicken 'mieszanka olejow roslinnych (olej slonecznikowy wysokooleinowy, olej rzepakowy, olej slonecznikowy)'; rapeseed oil in the buns and mayonnaise; palm oil in the crispy onion topping
Romania	Canola (rapeseed) and sunflower oil (a high-oleic grade is named) What our record says blend of high-oleic sunflower, rapeseed and sunflower oil in the fryers: Burger King Romania's recipe book gives the fries, criss cuts and loaded fries 'Ulei: Ulei de floarea soarelui cu continut ridicat de acid oleic, ulei de rapita, ulei de floarea soarelui'; rapeseed oil in the buns and the vegan mayonnaise; sunflower oil in the par-fried fries and coatings

On our record, with no source quoted

Our record names an oil for these countries, but the record does not quote where the chain says it. We show them apart so you can tell the two kinds of row apart.

Country	Fryer oil on our record
U.S.	Canola (rapeseed), soybean, corn and cottonseed oil What our record says vegetable oil blend — soybean and/or canola and/or corn/cottonseed (fries, shared fryers with chicken and onion rings)

Why does the oil change at the border?

The chain does not say. None of the pages we read gives a reason for using one oil in one country and a different one in the next. So we ask the question and leave the answer open: if Burger King can fry in one oil there, why not here?

What we can say for sure is narrower. Each row is what the chain published for that country, read on or before October 13, 2026. A statement can be years old, so open "What our record says" for the wording and any caution we noted. Spot one that is out of date? Tell us in the app with "Wrong? Let us know" on that chain.
