Build my orderHow Hopdoddy Burger Bar has changed its frying oil
In October 2023 Hopdoddy pulled soybean oil out of every fryer at its 10 Texas locations and put in Zero Acre oil, which is made from fermented sugarcane. Fries, loaded brussels sprouts, chicken tenders and the Nashville hot chicken sandwich all moved over, and the chain said it planned to go seed oil free at all 47 locations. Source

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