Burger King recently made waves this week when it announced that its signature Whopper sandwich will feature a new recipe that's completely free from added colors, flavors, preservatives, or any other artificial sources.
For several years now, customers have been putting pressure on their favorite food brands to remove artificial additives and use more recognizable ingredients. Burger King is the latest brand to join this movement by reformulating its Whopper sandwich. Now, the Whopper will feature a cleaner label in all markets worldwide. The move is part of the brand's initiative to promote the use of real food and high-quality ingredients in its restaurants.
Most significantly, Burger King is celebrating the milestone by placing the Whopper Recipe on its wrappers for all to see.
