Qdoba Mexican Grill goes trans-fat free

DENVER — Qdoba Mexican Grill has announced that its frying oil contains zero artificial trans fats per serving and has been implemented in Qdoba restaurants nationwide.

Additionally, Qdoba's full menu meets the guidelines for zero artificial trans fats in both New York City and Colorado. Qdoba anticipates nationwide implementation of zero artificial trans fats for all menu items by the end of 2007.

Qdoba reformulated their tortillas and brownies to make the trans-fat free switch in 2006. To ensure that all ingredients meet the recommended trans-fat free guidelines, Qdoba has been reviewing the few other applicable menu items.

Qdoba also is purchasing 100 percent all natural chicken, pork, shredded beef and ground sirloin.
