Claim 3: “The kale salad dressing contains soybean oil, maple syrup and preservatives, according to Chick-fil-A’s website.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim is explicitly stated in the AOL article ('Doctors reveal healthiest fast-food meals...'). However, the direct ingredient lists from Chick-fil-A's own website provided in the evidence only mention 'Apple Cider and Dijon Mustard vinaigrette' and 'salted, crunchy roasted almonds' without listing soybean oil or maple syrup, meaning the claim is only supported by the reporting source and not the primary source provided.
