Atis UK Seed Oil Report Card
Based on our menu research, Atis UK cooks with: no fryers at all - everything is roasted, grilled or served raw - so the PUFA here comes entirely from the dressings, the nut/seed crunches and the oil-heavy proteins, not from a fryer; the house dressings (creamy jalapeno, lime coriander, balsamic vinaigrette, apple cider vinaigrette, lemon oregano, chipotle lime, classic Caesar, green goddess, pesto vinaigrette) are rapeseed-oil emulsions in the UK foodservice standard, which is why Atis sells The Olive Oil Guy olive oil as a separate paid add-on; tahini dressing and the tahini greens pot are sesame-led (sesame is roughly 44% PUFA), omega seeds and maple walnuts are the highest-PUFA crunches, and tofu carries its own soy PUFA; scores below are derived from Atis's own published total fat and saturates per serving (unsaturated = total minus saturates, apportioned at roughly 30% PUFA for rapeseed and higher for the sesame/seed/soy items) - a plain herb chicken breast, glazed aubergine or a chopped tomato feta pot is near zero, while a large dressed chicken bowl clears 15g. Across the 40 menu items we analyzed, it averages 7.1g estimated PUFA per item, earning a seed-oil grade of C (High Risk).

What are seed oils?
Seed oils — canola, soybean, sunflower, corn, and similar vegetable oils — are extracted from seeds using high heat and chemical solvents. They are very high in polyunsaturated fats (PUFAs), which are unstable at cooking temperatures and can oxidize easily. Many health-conscious eaters choose to minimize seed oils and prefer foods cooked in beef tallow, butter, coconut oil, or olive oil instead. This page shows estimated PUFA grams per menu item to help you make more informed choices. These are estimates — actual values vary by preparation and location. Curious why people avoid them?
