T.G.I. Friday's, which has restaurants in Waikiki and on Ward Avenue in Honolulu, said it will switch to a no-trans fat menu at all of its restaurants by July.The restaurant chain said it will eliminate all oils, margarines and shortenings, in addition to par-fried items, that contain more than a half-gram of trans fat per serving.
"Friday's is committed to providing our guests healthier menu choices and this is one of the avenues in which we are providing this," said Mike Archer, president and chief operating officer of T.G.I. Friday's USA, said in a news release.
According to Archer, T.G.I. Friday's has spent the past year reviewing products and conducting consumer research to ensure that any changes the restaurant chain makes in regard to oil will be transparent to the guest.
