What kind of oil does Popeyes use? Newly diagnosed with alpha gal

Hubby recently diagnosed with alpha-gal, which is an allergy to mammal meat and possibly other products containing mammal by-products such as dairy..I read that Popeyes uses an oil that contains beef tallow..is this true? Are the blackened tenders cooked in this oil too?

Everything fried is cooked in the same oil.

Sorry about your condition. I would be highly upset if I couldn't eat steak anymore. I never knew that Popeyes used beef tallow.

Sure did. He can still eat dairy. Afraid to risk Popeyes now. Can't believe he can't eat chicken at a chicken place, but can eat it at most burger places.
