What oil does Teriyaki Madness fry in?
Teriyaki Madness cooks with soybean, likely, for wok/griddle cooking (not named on site, but official allergen chart shows 'Contains Soy' on nearly every protein, rice, noodle, and veggie item -- not just sauces -- implying soybean oil is used across the line; teriyakimadness.com/nutritionals + allergen PDF, 2025).

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