What oil does sweetFrog fry in?
sweetFrog cooks with no deep fryer, it's a self-serve frozen yogurt bar; the fat comes from dairy in the yogurt/soft-serve bases, plus topping-level oils like palm oil in cookie and wafer toppings, coconut oil in the Dole soft serve line, and soybean oil in the baked (not fried) waffle cones and bowls.

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