Throughout the United States and Canada, the McDonald’s fast food chain has officially switched over to using cooking oil with no trans fat.
 
Several competing fast food chains had already changed over to trans-fat-free oils, making McDonald’s one of the few who still used the less-healthy oil. The McDonald’s corporation previously expressed worries that changing the cooking oil would affect the taste of their trademark french fries. Due to pressure from consumer advocacy groups and certain public official, McDonald’s decided to give in and make the change.
 
The new oil, which is already being used in U.S. restaurants for several months already, is canola-based and contains soy and corn oils.
