Wendy’s

Online Materials Used:
Allergen List: http://www.wendys.com/food/pdf/us/allergen_list.pdf

Restaurant Visit:
Wendy’s fries in a vegetable blend oil that contains soy. I was told, before their “Natural cut with salt french fries” they fried in 100% soybean oil.

Notes:
Wendy’s represents what is tragically the classic restaurant response to soybean oil. They note items that contain soy, but do not include items containing or fried in soybean oil.

Two examples:
Allergen list says no soy in Hamburger Jr. but according to ingredient list, Sandwich Bun includes: Vegetable Oil (contains one or more of the following: soybean, cottonseed, canola)

Allergen list says no soy in Classic Single Burger but according to ingredient list, Sandwich Bun includes: Soy and/or Canola Oil

What we order:
The kids meal with the cheeseburger, oranges, and chocolate milk. Wendy’s American Cheese has soy, while their Swiss Cheese does not. For restaurants that have Swiss Cheese, we would get a cheeseburger with Swiss. For restaurants that did not have Swiss Cheese, we get a hamburger. We’ve only recently discovered that there is soybean oil in their buns (contrary to their allergen information), so we now bring our Nickles One Buns.
