In September the burger restaurant chain announced that it planned to change over to using a new type of cooking oil that reduces trans fatty acids by 48% and saturated fat by 16%. The company planned to have the switch completed by the end of February.
McDonald’s said in a brief statement that while changing to the new oil quickly was an “admirable goal,” the company was most focused on customer satisfaction and the quality of its products.
A company spokesman could not be reached for comment, and the company’s statement provided no more detail, reported Reuters.
