On Jan. 7, Sweetgreen co-founder and CEO Jonathan Neman announced on X (formerly Twitter) that the salad chain has removed seed oils from its menu, replacing them with extra virgin olive oil and avocado oil for roasting vegetables and proteins.
Neman explained the change as part of the company’s commitment to using thoughtfully chosen ingredients that align with both its values and evolving customer preferences. He added that, starting in January, Sweetgreen would offer its "first-ever seed oil-free menu," featuring options crafted without seed oils.
