What oil does Philly Pretzel Factory fry in?
Philly Pretzel Factory has no deep fryer.
In detail: no deep fryer, everything on the menu (soft pretzels, pretzel dogs, rivets, pepperoni melts) is baked; the dough itself is flour/water/yeast/salt with 0g fat per pretzel, so what fat there is comes from the butter brushed on after baking and from the cheese/cinnamon dips, not a fryer oil.

Build my orderWhy 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 Philly Pretzel Factory report card, or where it lands on the Seed Oil Index. See which chains fry in real fats on Tallow Watch.
