Titans Coach Robert Saleh Bans Seed Oils From Team Meals After 3-14 Season

6 articles · Updated · Fox News · May 21

Seed oils have been removed from the Titans’ training facility cafeteria, with Robert Saleh saying the change was among his first moves after taking over in Nashville.
Saleh said owner Amy Adams Strunk backed a bigger food budget, allowing the team to replace oils such as canola and soybean with alternatives the staff believes may better support player performance.
Nutrition experts remain divided on the move: Johns Hopkins researcher Matti Marklund said abundant evidence shows seed oils are not harmful and may even be beneficial.
The policy lands as Saleh begins his second NFL head-coaching stint after replacing Brian Callahan, who was fired during a 3-14 2025 season, and prepares to develop No. 1 pick Cam Ward.
