How much seed oil is in Dave & Buster's's food?

F Extreme Risk

Dave & Buster's averages an estimated 13.7g of seed oil PUFA per menu item, about 3.4 days of the 4g daily goal many people in the seed oil free community aim for, in one average item. Method and grade scale on the methodology page.

What Dave & Buster's cooks with

Undisclosed - the Spring 2026 nutrition and allergen brochures only reference 'common fryer oil' for cross-contact and never name an oil. Assumed soybean under the higher-PUFA rule, but the guide's own numbers point to a low-saturated fryer oil: Sweet Potato Fries print 10 g fat / 0 g saturated and the garlic-parmesan-truffle fries 80 g / 15 g (19%) - neither palm nor tallow could produce that. Wings are published as a calorie range only.
