What Pizza Hut says in each country

Country	Fryer oil the chain states
Canada	Canola (rapeseed) oil (a high-oleic grade is named) What our record says canola oil in the fryers for WingStreet wings, fries and potato wedges - and the chain names the grade itself: French Fries are "Cooked In High oleic low Linolenic Canola Oil" in the August 2025 Ingredient Listing, which the printed 6.4% saturated share confirms. "Vegetable Oil" elsewhere in that listing is canola or soybean, unspecified. Pan Release is soybean oil. The Handcrafted and Stuffed Crust doughs are canola plus sunflower, not the blanket soybean the record used to claim (corrected 2026-09-18).
Ireland	Canola (rapeseed) oil What our record says rapeseed oil for frying, per Pizza Hut Delivery Ireland's own ingredient list ('Rapeseed Oil (for frying) Rapeseed oil, Antifoaming Agent (E900)'); rapeseed oil in the dough base and the vegetable oil spray; fries and wedges arrive pre-fried in sunflower oil; chicken strip breadcrumb carries refined soybean oil
New Zealand	Canola (rapeseed) and soybean oil What our record says Soy oil in the dough, canola oil in the fryers (Pizza Hut NZ help centre: 'We use soy oil to prepare the dough fresh in store each day and canola oil in our fryers')
Romania	Canola (rapeseed) and sunflower oil (a high-oleic grade is named) What our record says sunflower oil in the pizza crusts (Classic and Pan dough statements: 'ulei floarea soarelui', plus a palm-based dough fat in the Classic) and pasta; the fryer for fries, wings, strips and mozzarella sticks is 'uleiuri vegetale (floarea soarelui, floarea soarelui high oleic, rapita, in proportii variabile)' (chain-stated)

We track Pizza Hut in 51 more countries where the chain does not state its fryer oil. We do not guess for those here.

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
Australia	Canola (rapeseed) oil What our record says canola oil (wings, hot chips, spud bites, jalapeno cheese bites); vegetable oil blend (soybean/canola) in pan pizza pan coating and dough

UK	Canola (rapeseed) and sunflower oil What our record says rapeseed oil (dough, sauces, vegetable oil spray); per the chain's July 2026 UK delivery booklet the Breaded and Hot'n'Spicy Chicken Strips list "Fully Refined Soybean Oil" (breadcrumb and batter) and no other oil; wedges sunflower; fries and halloumi a rapeseed/sunflower blend; onion rings rapeseed; garlic spread palm + rapeseed

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 Pizza Hut 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.
