Owners & Chefs – Making the Switch to Omega-9 Oils
Take Trans Fat off the Table
Growing consumer demand for healthier menu items, mounting medical evidence regarding the impact of bad fats and increasing legislative mandates are driving the foodservice industry to eliminate trans fat from foods. But replacing one “bad” fat, such as trans, with another, such as saturated, is not the best answer.
Omega-9 Oils, developed by Dow AgroSciences, are the ideal foodservice solution. As the next generation of healthier oils, Omega-9 Oils have:
- Zero trans fat
- The lowest saturated fat among cooking oils
- Uniquely high in monounsaturated fat (omega-9) found to be “heart-healthy“
Kitchen Performance and Application
While customer demands regarding healthy options are paramount, so is performance and application flexibility in the kitchen.
Omega-9 Oils are highly stable, which allows for superior performance and extended fry life in demanding foodservice environments.
An increasing number of restaurant chains and foodservice providers are making a change for the better. Learn more about who has switched and how Omega-9 Oils are better for business.
Taste Nothing but the Food
Omega-9 Oils are naturally stable, without the need for artificial hydrogenation, and offer the same great taste that consumers demand.
For years, a majority of restaurants, foodservice and food manufacturers have used partially hydrogenated oils because they were widely available and shelf-stable. But chefs and manufacturers who have switched to Omega-9 Oils found food has a light, clean taste that does not compete with natural food flavors or menu design.
In a consumer taste study conducted by Jeffrey Gross & Associates, adults and teens equally preferred fries cooked in Omega-9 Oils to those in partially hydrogenated soybean oil, and significantly preferred Omega-9 Oil fries over those prepared in low linolenic soybean oil. That’s feedback you can sink your teeth into.

Omega-9 Oils taste great, are healthier than other zero trans fat alternatives, offer the performance needed in the kitchen, and are being used by smart restaurant owners, chefs and food processors around the world. Find a supplier, to start using Omega-9 Oils in your operation.
Current customers realizing the benefits of Omega-9 Oils include Taco Bell, KFC Canada, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, Biscuitville, BurgerVille, Ina’s Kitchen, and Earl’s Restaurants, just to name a few.
