Preparation Tips

How To Serve A Zero Trans Fat Fry

Bake any of the McCain zero TFA items
OR
Use the right oil and the right procedures

  • Check the oil label to verify zero grams trans fat per serving...ask your usual distributor or manufacturer representative for a non-hydrogenated oil.
  • The oil should not have the words Hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated in the ingredient statement.
  • In order to serve 0g trans fat products... Cooked items in 0g trans fat oil alone or with other 0g trans fat foods.
  • Do not deep fry 0g trans fat items with other items that contain trans fat

Please note:
Our new ZTFA products perform just as well as those previously made in partially hydrogenated oil. You may notice the following product characteristics; however, they do not impact the quality of the finished product:

  • Product made with non-hydrogenated oil may appear somewhat “lighter” in the frozen state.
  • Product made with non-hydrogenated oil may appear slightly more “greasy” or “wet” in the frozen state.
  • Product made with non-hydrogenated oil may result in slightly more “dusting” or “crumbing” on the surface of the oil in fryer vats. While skimming the oil more frequently may be required to keep the dusting off the fryers, normal and regular fryer maintenance should minimize any issues in this area.
  • Product made with non-hydrogenated oil may result in oil spots on the bags. Such “staining” does not compromise product quality or the integrity of the bags.
