What oil does Panini Kabob Grill fry in?

Panini Kabob Grill most likely cooks with vegetable oil blend and canola oil, but the chain has not confirmed it.

In detail: No official source names the fryer oil (their site and Healthy Dining-powered nutrition tool give macros and allergens only, no ingredient statement). Falafel and the breaded Chicken Parm cutlet are fried, industry default vegetable/canola oil blend assumed; the rest of the menu is charbroiled kabobs (chicken, beef, lamb, salmon, tofu) over an open flame, low-PUFA rendered meat fat, plus Mediterranean staples like hummus, tzatziki, and vinaigrettes that likely lean on olive oil.

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