What oil does Burger Boy fry in?
Burger Boy most likely fries in soybean oil, but the chain has not confirmed it.
In detail: Likely soybean oil for the crinkle-cut fries: Burger Boy's own allergen sheet lists "Soy" as the only allergen for fries, and plain fries (potato, oil, salt) have no other ingredient that would trigger a soy flag, which points to a soybean-oil fryer. No document names the oil outright, so treat the specific oil as inferred rather than confirmed.

Build my orderWhy the frying oil matters
Most fast-food chains fry in seed oils like soybean, canola, corn, or a blend of them, which are high in polyunsaturated fat (PUFA). A handful still use beef tallow or other stable fats, which are far lower in PUFA. The oil a kitchen fries in is the single biggest driver of how much seed oil ends up on your plate. See the full breakdown on the Burger Boy report card, or where it lands on the Seed Oil Index. See which chains fry in real fats on Tallow Watch.
