Wendy’s Natural Fries Aren’t So Natural
Thursday, April 21, 2011 10:00Late last year, Wendy’s introduced its new “natural-cut” French fries seasoned with sea salt. “Real fries don’t fall far from the potato,” says all the advertising.
And apparently all the hype worked, because a recent taste test showed that 56% of Americans preferred Wendy’s new fries against 39% who preferred McDonald’s. The remaining 5% said, “Duh. My brain hurts.”
But Wendy’s shouldn’t wave the grease-stained victory flag just yet. It turns out Wendy’s “natural” fries contain a lot of ingredients that are anything but natural.
