In the the wake of a lawsuit seeking to blame KFC for health problems, the leading fried chicken chain on Monday said it is converting all of its 5,500 restaurants in the United States to a zero grams trans fat cooking oil. The new oil, a low linolenic soybean oil, will replace the partially hydrogenated soybean oil KFC currently uses. The transition is underway now and will be completed nationwide by the end of April 2007. “This is a win-win for our customers,” said KFC President Gregg Dedrick.
