Seed Oil Index · The F List

The F List

The chains that flunked. Updated continuously from the same data as the Seed Oil Index.

Every chain on Seed Oil Tracker gets a letter grade from A (under 4g of estimated seed oil per menu item on average) down to F (over 12g). An F means the AVERAGE item on the menu carries more seed oil than many people in this community try to eat in three whole days. These are the 116 chains currently sitting at F.

Grade F (116 chains, over 12g average)

How a chain flunks

We estimate PUFA grams for every menu item from each chain's published nutrition data and its disclosed cooking oils, then average across the whole menu, so one greasy outlier cannot flunk a chain and one salad cannot save it. Grades and numbers are estimates; preparation varies by location, and a chain can climb off this list by changing its oil. Full method on the methodology page. For the other end of the scale, see Tallow Watch and the verified seed oil free list.
