Starbucks is considering the removal of seed oils, including canola oil, from its food items. A new egg bite option using avocado oil is set to be added. CEO Brian Niccol recently met with U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to discuss health concerns regarding seed oils. Kennedy advocates for using beef tallow instead. While some chains have adopted this change, scientists note that seed oils are generally safe in moderation and canola oil may lower heart disease risk compared to saturated fats.
