Whataburger ingredient questions
Browse all 34 itemsWhich oils does Whataburger use?
Whataburger’s French Fries and Hash Brown Sticks list soybean oil. Onion Rings list soybean and/or canola oil, so the recipe allows either or both. These ingredient lists do not identify a separate cooking oil for every restaurant’s fryer.
Does Whataburger use seed oils?
Yes. Soybean oil appears in French Fries, Hash Brown Sticks and the Whataburger bun. Onion Rings also name canola oil as a possible alternative. Check the ingredients for your whole order, including sauces and sides.
