Boston Market Frying Oil
This is a plain frying oil blend, moderate mostly because of the soybean oil.
Food here is usually assembled to order from components that were prepped earlier in the day, so it tends to be fresher than a drive-through and less fresh than cooking at home. Histamine builds up as protein foods sit, so how long the chicken or beef has been in the warmer matters as much as what is in the bowl. Treat the rating above as a starting point.
This is a neutral cooking oil made from a couple of plant oils plus stabilizers.
-
Soybean oil — the blend's soybean oil is the one component that lands at moderate, which is what sets the overall level here.
-
The rest — the canola oil and the small amount of anti-foaming and preservative additives are milder, so the oil itself is a background player rather than a strong driver.
Anything fried in it starts a step up, so a roasted or steamed side tends to sit lower.
