As more customers Food Service Organizations today adopt exercises that make America healthy again, and more restaurants seem to answer calls through promising oil-free dining experiences.
But while many restaurants can claim to have no seed oil, there is actually no way to formally assured customers so far.
Seed-Free Oil Alliance was established in 2023 to increase awareness, increase transparency and educate consumers about seed oil in Our food Supply, “according to the group’s website.
Nelson told Fox News Numbers that co-founders Corey Nelson and Jonathan Rubin found that “there is no proof that food is actually oil-free.”
They quickly “realized that there was an opportunity here to help not only consumers, but companies—because it’s more expensive to eliminate seed oil from most foods.”

Florida-based Seedless Oil Alliance is an independent certified organization that combines the Public Health Alliance and Nutritional Expert As a consultant.
“Any legal certification body has certification standards,” Nelson said.
These range from pre-certification testing to “on the shelf once they can test what they can actually test,” he said, “to make sure the company is doing what they say and that consumers can trust the stamp.”

“We give them choices,” Nelson told Fox News Numbers.
“You know, if it’s not the right time to switch, you can walk away without hurting. Often, companies do switch, so we have the opportunity to help them meet our standards.”
“It’s not just the oil we are using”
Erin Leeds, who owns the Butcher in Boca Raton Gardens, Florida, says Her restaurant It was expected to be the first restaurant to be certified last year — that is, until the avocado oil she used didn’t pass the rigorous lab test.

“The test shows [it was] Not only the oil we are using, but many other avocado oils we are willing to switch – all adulterated in some way [and] Suspected traces of sunflower oil,” Leeds told Fox News figures.
“Where there is a way, there is a way.”
After six months trying to find a cost-effective solution, Leeds made progress with the help of Nelson and Rubin. She turned from a California company to algae oil.
“We bring algae oil every few months and use storage facilities to hold them,” Leeds said. “Where there are wills, there are ways.”

While businesses have to pay for certification, Nelson said the price point “does work for emerging brands like the packaged food industry or moms and restaurants of size.”
“I think from a consumer perspective, restaurants and packaged foods are just as important if you want to avoid seed oils,” Nelson said.

“But I think it’s much harder to bring all the seed oil out of the restaurant rather than packaged food from the owner’s perspective.”
“The goal is to advocate and improve the availability of oil-free food options,” Nelson said ultimately.
