With Real flavor comes Real responsibility

For years Burger King US has been paving the way to a Real menu with the same flame-grilled flavors you crave. Thousands visit BK restaurants, and to those thousands, we promise to actively evaluate how our food is prepared and strive to eliminate the use of colors, flavors, and preservatives from artificial sources, wherever possible, that compromise the realness of your BK faves.

Banning 120 artificial ingredients

To make change, you gotta be the change. That’s why we banned 120 non-essential artificial ingredients from our food. Because we’re committed to the realness of every crunch, sizzle, and Mmmm that will keep bringing you back for more.

  • Sliced daily in-restaurant
Full of flavor with just the right balance of sweet, tangy, and tartness, our tomatoes pack a real juicy punch, and with 55 million pounds sourced locally each year in the US, we hardly hear, “hold the tomatoes.”

Pickles

  • Free from sodium benzoate (it’s kind of a big deal)
  • Topped with our unique dill pickle seasoning

Our crunchy pickles are made with freshly grown cucumbers that are harvested under good agricultural practices. We strive to keep every seed intact and every pickle evenly sliced.

Oh and with over 500 million Whopper sandwiches sold during the past year in the US, we know our beef is crown-worthy. *Weight based on pre-cooked patty.
