What oil does Robeks fry in?
Robeks cooks with no deep fryer, no grill, and no hood system in Robeks stores at all (their own franchise site says the format runs under 1,000 sq ft specifically because it skips fryers/grills/hoods). Fat in the food comes from avocado and peanut butter on the handcrafted toasts, eggs and cheese (feta, mozzarella) in the breakfast wraps and stuffed items, and dairy, coconut, and almonds in the smoothies and acai bowls..
The 5 cleanest things to order at Robeks
Learn this once: a salad with grilled protein and the dressing left off is nearly always the lowest seed oil order anywhere. So the list below sticks to real meals, salads included, never just a water.

| Margherita Pizzolo | 0.4g |
| Spinach & Egg Folded Flatbread | 1.1g |

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 Robeks report card, or where it lands on the Seed Oil Index.
