Methodology & limits
PUFA grams are estimates built from each chain's published nutrition data and its disclosed or industry-default cooking oil, averaged across the scored menu items. Grades: A under 4g, B 4-8g, C over 8g average per item. Preparation varies by location and oils change, so treat values as directional. Building an app, map layer, or study on top of this?
