Wendy’s emphasizes quality through transparency, ethical sourcing, and fresh, never‑frozen 100 % beef patties. The chain’s website details its beef supply chain, a commitment to eliminating routine medically important antibiotics by 2030, and sustainable practices. Wendy’s also uses Beef Quality Assurance‑certified sources and invests in improving livestock conditions. The square shape of the burger was inspired by founder Dave Thomas, who wanted the beef’s quality visible before the first bite. Patties contain zero fillers or additives, are transported in refrigerated trucks, and are made to order on a grill for a fresh, juicy experience. In‑N‑Out, with fewer than 500 U.S. locations, follows a strict no‑freezer, no‑pre‑packaging policy, ensuring its patties remain fresh and unprocessed.
