Fatburger offering healthier choicesPosted Feb 27th 2007 9:03AM by Joanne LutynecFiled under: Trans Fats, New Products, America, Fast FoodRemember when you went to a fast food restaurant and all you could order was deep fried fare, full-fat shakes, and items smothered in sauce or cheese? Those days are definitely becoming a distant memory. In an effort to appeal to the health-conscious consumer, Fatburger has added two healthier food choices to their permanent menu - the Veggieburger, a meatless Boca soy patty, served up on a whole wheat bun, and the Fat Salad Wedge - lettuce wedge topped with diced bacon, tomatoes and choice of dressing. They also offer a Turkeyburger and fresh marinated chicken sandwich, both of which have been on their regular menu for some time now.They aren't stopping there though. Fatburger has now joined the ranks of fast food restaurants working towards becoming trans fat-free. Since January 1st they have been switching over to a soy bean-based oil for their fried products, and expect the transition to be complete in all of their locations by the end April.
