The 5 cleanest things to order at Haagen-Dazs Shop
Learn this once: a salad with grilled protein and the dressing left off is nearly always the lowest seed oil order anywhere. So the list below sticks to real meals, salads included, never just a water.
| Mango Sorbet (2-Scoop Cup, non-dairy) | 0.0g PUFA |
| Vanilla (2-Scoop Cup) | 1.0g PUFA |
| Chocolate (2-Scoop Cup) | 1.0g PUFA |
| Strawberry (2-Scoop Cup) | 1.0g PUFA |
| Dulce de Leche (2-Scoop Cup) | 1.0g PUFA |
Lower PUFA is cleaner. These are estimates from published nutrition data and disclosed oils; preparation varies by location.
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 Haagen-Dazs Shop report card, or where it lands on the Seed Oil Index.
