Frequently asked

Our research indicates: Fries/hash browns: "Vegetable Oil (Sunflower, Rapeseed) in varying proportions" per the Signature Fries ingredient list (shared fryer with popcorn chicken); chicken historically fried in high-oleic rapeseed since the 2011 switch off palm. As of 2026-09-22 kfc.co.uk no longer serves that Signature Fries ingredient list (the fries FAQ accordion on the nutrition page is empty); the August 2026 guide names only a shared vegetable oil for fries, hash browns, popcorn chicken and bites, and the fries print 8.2% saturates (fits the sunflower / rapeseed blend, does not separate conventional from high-oleic). Preparation can vary by location, so treat PUFA numbers as estimates.
