What oil does Fresh Brothers fry in?
Fresh Brothers most likely cooks with vegetable oil blend, but the chain has not confirmed it.
In detail: Fresh Brothers says its chicken items (classic wings, boneless bites and gluten-free bites) are baked, not fried (its gluten-free page, freshbrothers.com/gluten-free, read 2026-11-05). It does not name the oil or fat in its dough, sauces, dressings or toppings, and does not say what oil its fries are cooked in. Its vegan pizzas use Field Roast vegan mozzarella, which it says is built from plant oils. Every item here uses the chain's own printed total fat and saturated fat (nutrition.freshbrothers.com); we split that fat between the item's own dairy or meat fat and an unnamed vegetable oil (our assumption, scored at the high end for seed oil) using the printed saturated fat. Pizzas are shown per slice, as the chain prints them.

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 Fresh Brothers report card, or where it lands on the Seed Oil Index. See which chains fry in real fats on Tallow Watch.
