GLENDALE, CA, Oct 01, 2007 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX News Network) -- IHOP (NYSE: IHP) today announced that it will eliminate the use of frying oil with trans fats in all of its restaurants by December 31, 2007. IHOP, one of America's favorite restaurants for breakfast, lunch and dinner, has worked closely with its suppliers since 2006 to test fryer oil that is free of artificial trans fat, and to ensure that changes will not affect the taste or quality of its menu items.

"As the supply of artificial trans fat free oil has become more readily available, we feel comfortable making the system-wide switch in all of IHOP's 1,319 restaurants," said Dustin Dixon, Ph.D., IHOP's Vice President, Product, Quality Assurance and Procurement. "IHOP is committed to providing our guests with a menu filled with delicious choices, and we're pleased to provide guests with menu items that meet their needs without affecting the taste and flavor they expect."

IHOP is continuing work with its suppliers to eliminate artificial trans fats from the balance of its menu.
