How did you land at 30% canola oil? There's three fats in Beyond Meat burgers, Expeller-Pressed Canola Oil, Refined Coconut Oil, and Cocoa Butter. The total fat content is 18g per serving. Each serving is 113g total. That's 15% total fat content per serving. We don't know the canola, coconut, or cocoa butter ratio, but we can at least assume total canola oil is <15%.

There's also 0mg of cholesterol.

Edit: I should add I'm not saying this is the best food choice. 1 tablespoon of oil is about 13g. So you're basically eating a little over 1 tablespoon of oil.

If I understand correctly, coconut oil is the worse kind of fat you can consume. Is that incorrect?

Not the worst, but probably not the best either: https://www.health.harvard.edu/staying-healthy/coconut-oil
