Update RestaurantWhat the rating means
Bourre is rated Use Caution. Use Caution means: seed oils or unconfirmed answers in several areas, often including the fryer.
At Bourre: 1 area confirmed seed-oil free (fryer oil) and 4 areas not confirmed (cooking fats, dressings, bread and sauces).
Oil Watch audits five areas and weights them: fryer oil 35%, cooking fats 25%, dressings 15%, bread 15% and sauces 10%. A confirmed seed-oil-free area scores in full, a confirmed seed oil scores nothing, an unconfirmed area counts half and an area that doesn't apply is left out. A weighted score of 85 or more is Seed Oil Free, 70 to 84 is Mostly Clean, 40 to 69 is Use Caution and anything lower is Contains Seed Oils. How Oil Watch works
