Frequently asked

Does Kwik Trip use seed oils?

Based on our menu research, Kwik Trip cooks with: soybean oil. Across the 334 menu items we analyzed, it averages 6.9g estimated PUFA per item, earning a seed-oil grade of C (High Risk).

What oil does Kwik Trip cook with?

Our research indicates: Soybean oil in the fryers. The chain's own per-item ingredient statements on its branded Nutritionix portal (Last Updated 09/02/2026) name soybean and nothing else: the fish is "Fried In Soybean Oil, Hydrogenated Soybean Oil With TBHQ", hydrogenated soybean oil is in the chicken marinade, and soybean oil is the first fat in the ranch, the tartar sauce and the Smokin' Sweet sauce. Corrected 2026-09-18 from "soybean/canola blend" because no canola is disclosed anywhere in those statements. Soybean shortening (baked goods); pork fat/tallow (roller grill); the hot chocolate creamer is hydrogenated coconut oil. Preparation can vary by location, so treat PUFA numbers as estimates.

Does Kwik Trip use beef tallow?

Yes, at least for some items. Our research indicates: Soybean oil in the fryers. The chain's own per-item ingredient statements on its branded Nutritionix portal (Last Updated 09/02/2026) name soybean and nothing else: the fish is "Fried In Soybean Oil, Hydrogenated Soybean Oil With TBHQ", hydrogenated soybean oil is in the chicken marinade, and soybean oil is the first fat in the ranch, the tartar sauce and the Smokin' Sweet sauce. Corrected 2026-09-18 from "soybean/canola blend" because no canola is disclosed anywhere in those statements. Soybean shortening (baked goods); pork fat/tallow (roller grill); the hot chocolate creamer is hydrogenated coconut oil. Beef tallow is far lower in PUFA than seed oils.

Is Kwik Trip seed oil free?

No. Our research indicates Kwik Trip cooks with soybean oil, which includes seed oils. See the lower-PUFA orders above for the cleanest picks.

What is the safest thing to order at Kwik Trip?

Ham & American Swiss Flatbread is the lowest-PUFA item we analyzed at Kwik Trip, at an estimated 1.5g PUFA. See the Safest Orders list on this page for more options.

What should I avoid at Kwik Trip?

2 Piece Fish Basket is the highest-PUFA item we analyzed at Kwik Trip, at an estimated 45.0g PUFA. Fried items and creamy, mayo-based sauces are usually the heaviest.

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. New to the topic? Start with what seed oils are and the complete list, or read the evidence on why people avoid them.
