Does sweetgreen Use Seed Oils?
On October 24th, 2023 big changes are coming to Sweetgreen's menu
The move to EVOO
From their 2023 press release:
"LOS ANGELES, CA (October 18, 2023) - Today, Sweetgreen (NYSE: SG), the mission-driven restaurant
brand serving healthy food at scale, announced it’s using Extra Virgin Olive Oil (“EVOO”) as its cooking oil
for all proteins, veggies and grains nationwide. Starting Oct. 24, EVOO will be incorporated across
Sweetgreen’s menu to enhance the dishes that fans know and love – from warm bowls built on a bed of
grains to salads topped with hearty proteins and roasted veggies.
Since its founding, Sweetgreen has remained committed to prioritizing high-quality, local, and
minimally processed ingredients. By making the shift to EVOO, Sweetgreen continues to deliver on that
commitment, giving customers confidence that all Sweetgreen ingredients – down to its cooking oil –
meet the brand's highest set of sourcing standards.
“Reimagining fast food goes beyond the kitchen and starts with a strong, transparent supply chain. In
addition to partnering with suppliers and growers we trust, we take into account how every ingredient
is prepared, down to the oil it’s cooked in,” said Nicolas Jammet, Sweetgreen Co-Founder and Chief
Concept Officer. “While we know there’s more work to do, we hope this change raises the bar and
continues to inspire our industry to make quality products more accessible.”
