What oil does Fuzzy's Taco Shop fry in?
Fuzzy's Taco Shop cooks with Soybean oil, DISCLOSED: the chain's allergen handout (8/31/2026) states 'we use highly refined soybean oil in our fryers' (tempura fish and shrimp, chips, Latin-fried potatoes, churros, sopapillas). Guacamole is avocado with no added oil. Garlic sauce and sour cream are built-in taco components with no standalone panel. The earlier 'soybean/canola' wording is tightened to soybean on the chain's own word..

Why 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 Fuzzy's Taco Shop report card, or where it lands on the Seed Oil Index.
