What oil does Red Mango fry in?
Red Mango has no deep fryer.
In detail: No deep fryer. Red Mango is a frozen yogurt, smoothie, and fresh-juice bar; the small "Cafe" side menu (cold salads, PB&J, panini-style flatbread sandwiches) is toasted, not fried. Fat mostly comes from dairy (the nonfat/lowfat yogurt base, cheese), palm oil and coconut oil in the indulgent Fro-Yo Mashup flavor bases and peanut butter/Nutella toppings, and soybean and canola oil worked into the flatbread dough, Caesar dressing, BBQ sauce, and basil pesto used on the cafe items.

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