ATLANTA — Popeyes Chicken & Biscuits, a division of AFC Enterprises Inc., has switched to zero gram trans-fat biscuits and one gram trans fat per-serving French fries in its domestic restaurants. The new products began rolling out to the system at the end of 2006 and are now in all restaurants.
Popeyes also has posted trans-fat content information for the brand's core menu items its Web site.
Many of Popeyes core chicken items have zero grams of trans fat and others are generally low in trans fats, containing 1.5 grams or less, the company said. Popeyes is currently testing a zero trans-fat shortening for other core products.
