We now have an official ingredient list for the beef shortening (which we now call beef tallow) used at Buffalo Wild Wings.
Buffalo Wild Wings uses animal fats
For years, people have sent emails to update the cooking oil map saying “this BWW uses soybean oil” while national BWW policy is to use beef tallow. While some Buffalo Wild Wings Go locations use soybean oil, and are not added to the map because of this, all official BWW locations use tallow in their fryers. Others have expressed skepticism that there must be additives, which makes sense.
Buffalo Wild Wings’ use of beef tallow was originally reported when a vegan group became enraged after finding out even their “cauliflower wings” were cooked in animal fats.
The wings, the fries, and everything else in their fryers are cooked in beef tallow.
Official beef tallow ingredients list
But this tallow is not pure rendered fat, it’s mass produced for commercial use. What are the specific ingredients in this prepared beef-based cooking oil? Let’s look at the ingredients (official document):
Beef Tallow: DEODORIZED BEEF TALLOW, WITH BHT AND CITRIC ACID ADDED TO IMPROVE STABILITY, DIMETHYLPOLYSILOXANE TO REDUCE FOAMING.
