KFC Follows Through on Trans Fats
KFC announced that it has followed though on its promise to remove trans fats from its fried chicken and potatoes, without affecting the taste. Although the new cooking oil is more expensive, the company said it will not raise prices to cover the increased cost.
KFC has built a family-friendly cooking and grocery-shopping site here. And KFC fans can visit the KFC site to watch exclusive footage of the Colonel's recent promotional Zero Gravity experience and look for a secret message that could unlock a chance to win one of 10,000 $1 KFC gift checks.
You'd think they could've sprung for some entirely free items, but, anyway. This announcement is really good news. It shows chains can remove trans fats without affecting classic tastes, and that it's an investment, but a worthwhile one.
UPDATE: Oops! Taco Bell, too.
