What oil does Imo's Pizza fry in?
Imo's Pizza most likely fries in soybean oil, but the chain has not confirmed it.
In detail: Undisclosed by the chain: its May 2018 nutrition PDF (the only guide it links) carries no ingredient or allergen statement, and the site publishes none, so no oil is named anywhere in Imo's own materials. Modelled as soybean oil in the dough shortening, pizza sauce and fryer (the standard Midwest pizza-chain fat; the guide's fried-item fat profiles fit soybean).

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 Imo's Pizza report card, or where it lands on the Seed Oil Index. See which chains fry in real fats on Tallow Watch.
