What oil does KFC Singapore cook with?

Our research indicates: not stated by KFC for Singapore; no fat figures published either.

Preparation can vary by location, so treat PUFA numbers as estimates.

Does KFC Singapore use beef tallow?

No. Our research indicates KFC Singapore cooks with palm oil and vegetable oil blend (estimated), not beef tallow. For chains that fry in tallow or other real fats, see Tallow Watch.

What should I avoid at KFC Singapore?

8 pcs Chicken Bucket is the highest-PUFA item we analyzed at KFC Singapore, at an estimated 58.0g 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.
