Welcome to Freshly Fried

Choose Fresh.
Choose Health.

Freshly Fried is a quality campaign by Münzer, designed to raise awareness around the responsible use of cooking oil in HoReCa. It highlights fresh oil as a key quality factor. The campaign helps restaurants position themselves as leaders in hygiene and food safety — clearly setting them apart from competitors.

Together we are setting new standards in health, taste and sustainability.

Why oil hygiene matters

When used cooking oil isn’t handled properly, it can break down and form harmful substances like aldehydes and acrylamide, which can be bad for your health.

Our mission

Turn every kitchen into a safer, healthier space.

From Clean to Toxic:
Our Color Scale of UCO

As cooking oil degrades through repeated use, its color darkens—an indicator of increasing levels of Total Polar Compounds (TPC), which form due to heat, oxidation, and contamination. TPC levels above 25% are considered critical, marking the Risk Zone for health and food safety.
