Controversial additive TBHQ in here
TBHQ (tertiary butylhydroquinone) is an antioxidant used to keep oils from going rancid. It is a petroleum derivative. Yummy. The food industry pushed the FDA for years to get it approved as a preservative despite the fact that ingestion of large doses (a thirtieth of an ounce) can cause nausea, delirium, and ringing of the ears. (Anyone remember what Jack Nicholson had for lunch in The Shininga?) TBHQ cannot exceed 0.02% of the oil and fat content in a food.

Although these oils are not trans fat, they do cause an oil to contain more saturated fats than it originally had. Which is not good.

Contains dimethylpolysiloxane
Dimethylpolysiloxane is an anti-foaming agent used in oil when frying. It's a type of silicon and is found in many non-food items, like Silly Putty and cosmetics. But is it safe to eat?According to the FDA, the World Health Organization and other researchers, this chemical is perfectly safe to eat. According to FDA regulations, formaldehyde (a carcinogen) may be used “as a preservative in defoaming agents containing dimethylpolysiloxane†However, when choosing chicken patties and other pre-fried foods, choose those without added chemicals. Even better, swap pre-fried foods (like chicken patties) for non-fried versions (grilled chicken breast). You can have all the convenience, without the chemicals or added fat from frying.
