CKE Restaurants, Inc. (NYSE: CKR) announced today that its Carl's Jr. and Hardee's restaurant chains will transition to a zero trans fat cooking oil by January 2008. The new zero trans fat, 100% canola oil has the lowest saturated fat levels among the new zero trans fat alternatives and has a high level of heart-healthy, omega-9, monounsaturated fat. Canola oil has recently received approval for a qualified health claim from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Carl's Jr. and Hardee's are believed to be the first and only major quick-service chains to commit to the use of 100% Omega-9 canola cooking oil throughout their system.
