McDonald's is making progress toward healthier oils, CEO says

Associated Press: McDonald's Corp. chief executive Jim Skinner said Wednesday the fast-food chain is making "very good progress" toward developing a healthier oil for french fries cooked in its U.S. restaurants, but still would not give a timetable for when a switch will be made.

 

Four years after the company first pledged to significantly reduce the trans-fat levels in its signature fries, Skinner told an investor conference that the company continues to work hard on a new oil.
