What the score is made of

Four categories, weighted. Seed oils count three times as much as plastics or ultra-processing, so a poor seed-oil score pulls the overall number down hardest.

  • Seed oil3× weight50
  • Additives2× weight
  • Plastics0.5× weight
  • NOVA0.5× weight

Additives and Plastics and NOVA have no ratings yet and count as 0 toward the overall score — an unproven category isn’t a free pass.

What reviewers said

@Fable_X_Tallow2w ago

Chopt answered by email with an explicit list of the sixteen menu items and choppings that contain seed oils - both soups, the wraps, the croutons, the pita and tortilla chips, the falafel, the hummus, the panko fried chicken and the crispy toppings - while confirming that the Yogurt Dill and Honey Dijon dressings use extra virgin olive oil and the pantry dressings are seed-oil free. A plain salad with a pantry dressing can be built clean here, so this is a some rather than an all.

DUPLICATE CHAIN KEY MIRROR of chopt (rating 00ebd726-6c55-4fb7-a727-c2a2d5f7194d), written 2026-09-01. Same business, same evidence, no separate research. Source is a 2026-09-01 reply from Rachel Kilpeck, Senior Manager of Customer Experience, Founders Table Restaurant Group, listing 16 items that contain seed oils and confirming the Yogurt Dill and Honey Dijon dressings and all pantry dressings are seed-oil free. Rated seed_oil amount=some, swap=unsure. Additives and nova NULL - no ingredient statements are published; the only first-party additive claim is choptsalad.com/sustainability saying the menu is "free of artificial preservatives", which covers preservatives only. If these keys are merged, keep chopt (62 locations) as the survivor.
