Frying Trends

Healthier Fried Food Products

Because of the media and legislative attention on removing trans fat from the diet, a number of manufacturers are introducing products to meet the move toward healthier fried foods. Fryer ready potatoes, appetizers, and protein foods are increasingly being manufactured with trans fat-free oils. At the beginning of the supply chain, seed growers and edible oil manufacturers are working to increasing the variety and supply of trans fat-free oils. All of these efforts are making it easier for operators to provide their customers with healthier fried foods.
