Jason's Deli chain to go trans-fat-free by April 15

Nation's Restaurant News, April 11, 2005

BEAUMONT, TEXAS -- Jason's Deli, the 137-unit chain based here, said all 80 items on its menu would be free of partially hydrogenated oils and trans fats by April 15, completing a process it began five years ago.

Jason's, which also supplies about 1 million box lunches each year to elementary and secondary students, said those meals were the first from which trans fats were removed. Jason's research and development department changed 47 ingredients that had contained partially hydrogenated oils, the company said.
