KFC Fast Food
Sunday, 10 June 2007
KFC are slowing following in the footsteps of these other fast food venues by offering a warm chicken salad for 256 calories without the dressing, and for an extra 32 calories you can add the low fat vinaigrette. They also offer a side dish of corn on the cob for only 150 calories.

KFC’s Original Fillet Salad (with dressing) that only has two teaspoons of fat — but it packs in the salt: over 40% of the daily maximum. KFC is also trialing a new product called Boneless Chicken, a coated chicken fillet product using breast, thigh and drum fillets that has less than half the fat of a serve of Original Recipe chicken.
KFC said Monday it is phasing out trans fats in cooking its Original Recipe and Extra Crispy fried chicken, Potato Wedges and other menu items, but hasn’t found a good alternative yet for its biscuits.
Health experts say trans fats raise levels of artery-clogging cholesterol and contribute to heart disease.
The restaurant chain said it will start using zero trans fat soybean oil systemwide in the United States with the rollout expected to be completed by April 2007. KFC said many of its approximately 5,500 restaurants already have switched.
As you can see that KFC is changing the way they are cooking their foods so the change in the fast food industry is getting better.
