That’s what it feels like. For me I have to navigate what customers want whilst also trying to stay ahead of the curve. Seed oils are not really on the radar in uk. I ask lots of people in the food world and they look at you like you are crazy! 😂 still so early. But as I feed my kids the bread, there is more of a reason to remove.
Just to clarify it’s not in all our breads just a few recipes. Most have no fat or butter.
I've pretty much given up eating commercial pastries. I don't even ask any more.
Things are shifting very quickly now. My mother recently started paying attention to seed oils (I've been talking about it for a decade lol).
Palm oil has been demonised (incorrectly IMO), so I wouldn't use it.
Coconut oil is the safest bet.
You might want to consider preparing a leaflet explaining what fat you use. It will save your servers having to come find you & ask. A little sticker on the window saying "Free from seed oils" will 100% pull people like me in.
Vegans can be loud.
Seed oil disrespectors tend to quietly go somewhere else (usually to eat from home).
That’s a good idea. We sell quite a lot of crisps as a meal deal so that might be hard to change up but I’m tackling the main products and the little ones will follow.
🤣🤯
I wouldn't worry about the crisps until your customers start shifting & asking the question.
My guess is that they're more concerned with price than their health right now.
I'm assuming you're talking about packets of crisps & not hot chips. Switching out your deep fryer fat with tallow or coconut oil is a no brainer imo. Saturated fat doesn't go rancid & so requires less frequent oil changes (cheaper in the long run).
Yeah packet of crisps. We don’t sell chips at the bakery.
I’m fully seed oil free at my supper clubs. 🫡
