"As one of America's oldest restaurant chains, Steak n Shake is dedicated to serving our loyal customers with the same great taste they have come to expect while working to eliminate added trans fats," said Steak n Shake's Chief Marketing Officer Steven Schiller.

Nutritional information for all Steak n Shake menu items can be found in the online nutritional guide at http://www.steaknshake.com/. Updated nutritional information showing trans fat and sugar content will be added to the web site during August 2007.
