at least in Canada. I wrote them a message on their website commending them for their use of good oil in Canada and requesting that they speed up its use in the US. The following is the response I got: We have received your comments and wanted to thank you for expressing your point of view regarding trans fat and hydrogenated oils. Colonel Sanders created KFC's Original Recipe chicken over 50 years ago, and we've been cooking it the Colonel's way ever since so that it's finger lickin' good. We've tested oils that are trans-fat free, but we haven't found a recipe yet that's as delicious as our world-famous Original Recipe. We are extremely careful about tampering with the taste of America's favorite fried chicken, and we will continue to take that very seriously as we explore oil alternatives and supply availability. In the meantime, we provide complete nutrition information for all our products on kfc.com and in our restaurant brochures, including how all food can be part of a healthy diet. We greatly appreciate your support of KFC and want to thank you again for taking the time to share your perspective. Sincerely, KFC Consumer Affairs I guess they'll continue frying everything in lard like the old dead colonel did. |
