A&W Food hamburger chain will offer customers in all provinces across Canada a menu with zero or significantly lower trans fat menu items - including fries that are completely trans fat free.

"Our commitment to A&W customers has been to understand their changing
nutritional needs, while continuing to offer The Burger Family, Chubby
Chicken, A&W Root Beer, fresh onion rings and fries, menu favourites
that Canadian baby boomers have grown up with," said Paul Hollands, President and CEO of A&W Food Services of Canada.

Trans fats have also been significantly reduced by more than 95 per cent in onion rings, and breakfast handheld sandwiches, such as the Bacon N' Egger sandwich, have also had their trans fats reduced by as much as 85 per cent.
