The Lure of a Sinless Donut A spokeswoman for the company assures us that they only use vegetable oil for frying and none of their donuts contains lard or any other hidden pig-based ingredient. Shipley's does make kolaches, though Czech-inspired filled pastries, made with the same dough used to make the donuts. And one or more kolache choices are filled with ham, but there's little danger of inadvertently sinning with an obviously ham-filled kolache. Indeed, although it involves a shameless mixing of religious metaphors on our part, Shipley's does refer to its donuts as "a truly holey food."
Very few restaurants, and no chains that we know of, use lard these days for frying. There is an inescapable perception that the public won't stand for it.
Happily, in this case at least, you can move on to guarding against other sins.
