Soybean oil is baked into Wetzel's pretzel mix itself, so 26 of 30 food items contain it and only the dips escape. In its favour, the pretzels are brushed with real clarified butter rather than margarine, and the harsher additives like nitrites and BHA are confined to the pepperoni and hot dog items.
Soybean oil is in Wetzel's pretzel mix itself, so it is in 26 of the 30 food items and there is no way to order around it - the only four without it are the Caramel, Cream Cheese, Pizza Sauce and Sweet Glaze dips. The genuinely good news, and it is rare for this category, is the fat brushed on the pretzel: it is real clarified butter in 24 of 30 items, with no margarine, no vegetable oil blend and no shortening anywhere in the food. Additives are concentrated rather than menu-wide - sodium nitrite in the 9 pepperoni, dog and bacon items, BHA and BHT in the 4 pepperoni ones, MSG in the ranch. The plain pretzel's only synthetic additive is the sorbitan monostearate in its instant yeast. Wetzel's does not disclose any fryer oil, so the Mozzarella Stickz remain unknown.
