Domino's Pizza to be free from hydrogenated fats

Domino’s Pizza has announced that it will remove all hydrogenated fats from its products by the end of July 2007. 

The company’s efforts to date mean that all of its hand-made pizzas and side orders are already free from hydrogenated fats and, with a small adjustment to its desserts and thin base crust, the menu will be free from them altogether.

In 2004, the company became the first pizza delivery company to introduce a reduced fat mozzarella – ‘Delight’ - and the first to introduce a Food Guide that lists the nutritional and allergen content of its products. 

Chris Moore, Domino’s deputy chief executive, said: “Our average customer may order from us just once every five weeks but we still have a responsibility to provide and promote top quality ingredients and choice to consumers.

“Removing hydrogenated fats actually improves the quality of our ingredients.”
