Burger King & Chick-fil-a Eliminate Trans Fats
Burger King announced today that all artificial Trans Fats will be eliminated from their menu items by November 1, 2008.
"Removing artificial trans fats from our cooking oils and ingredients is another example of our BK Positive Steps nutrition program," said Burger King Corp. Chairman and Chief Executive Officer John W. Chidsey. "Many Burger King restaurants have been using trans fat free cooking oils for several months, and our customers tell us that their favorite menu items taste the same, or even better. This is a result of our rigorous operational standards, supply requirements, and extensive consumer taste tests."
Burger King will be transitioning to two proprietary blends of three oils.
