McAlister's publishes a genuine per-item ingredient statement, and it shows seed oils in nine of their ten breads, in the mayo and in every single dressing, so almost any sandwich you order carries soybean or canola oil twice over. 113 of the 162 food entries also carry an additive, mostly bread conditioners, gums and preservatives.
McAlister s Deli publishes real per-item ingredient statements - their own site links them at mcalistersdeli.com/nutrition/ingredient-search, which frames the Nutritionix mcalisters-deli ingredient search. Read 22 August 2026: 202 entries, 162 once drinks are removed. 88 of the 162 name a seed oil, but that count understates it, because the clean entries are plain deli meats and cheeses rather than dishes. Nine of the ten breads list soybean or canola oil - only Marbled Rye does not - and so do Mayo, Buttermilk Ranch, Caesar, Chipotle Ranch, Green Goddess, Honey Mustard, Sherry Shallot and every bag of chips. Soybean oil appears in 46 entries, canola in 26, vegetable oil in 22, sunflower in 13, corn in 6, cottonseed in 4. 113 of the 162 carry an additive; the breads alone add calcium propionate, DATEM and ethoxylated mono and diglycerides. A normal sandwich here is seed oil twice over, in the bread and in the dressing.
