What oil does Salad and Go fry in?
Salad and Go fries in canola oil.
In detail: Oil never named by the chain (nothing on the site, FAQ or the July 2026 guide), but the guide's own component panels settle the cooking oil as canola-family: every fried or oil-finished component prints 0 g saturated on 2-6 g fat (crispy onions 6/0, cornbread croutons 5/0, tortilla strips 5/0, sweet potatoes 2/0, brussels 2.5/0), which soybean could not print. Salads are published WITHOUT dressing; wraps include one 2.5 oz dressing sachet. Balsamic Vinaigrette prints 10.9% sat, so it carries a second higher-saturate oil (canola/olive or canola/soybean - the one real fork). There is no Greek Vinaigrette any more (Creamy Feta pairs the Mediterranean); the earlier 'olive oil (Mediterranean dressing)' note is retired.

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