Frequently asked
Does Oodles Chinese UK use seed oils?
Based on our menu research, Oodles Chinese UK cooks with: vegetable oil blend and rapeseed oil. Across the 99 menu items we analyzed, it averages 5.0g estimated PUFA per item, earning a seed-oil grade of B (Medium Risk).
What oil does Oodles Chinese UK cook with?
Our research indicates: vegetable oil on the wok line and in the deep fryer — rapeseed (canola) blends are the UK catering standard for wok-fired chains, with sunflower oil used in some franchise kitchens; Oodles does not publish an oil statement, so the higher-PUFA reading is applied. Battered/crispy items (Oodles Crispy Chicken, wings, chips, spring rolls, dumplings, torpedo prawns) carry most of their fat from the fryer. Preparation can vary by location, so treat PUFA numbers as estimates.
Does Oodles Chinese UK use beef tallow?

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?
