Quality Ingredients

Our brands continue to make substantial changes to their menus to source delicious, quality ingredients. This includes removing ingredients from artificial sources wherever possible, freshly preparing the food you love in our restaurants, and sourcing ingredients locally whenever we can.

In the US, Burger King has banned 120 artificial ingredients from the food menu and is working toward offering a permanent food menu that is free of colours, flavours, and preservatives from artificial sources, wherever possible.

Tim Hortons in Canada is working towards having a menu that will also be free of artificial colours, flavours and preservatives.

At Popeyes in the US, we’re working towards offering a menu that is free from colours and flavours from artificial sources by 2025, wherever possible.

Fresh Preparation

Our policy at Burger King globally is that the Whopper sandwich is always prepared to order – and tomatoes and onions are sliced fresh every day.

At Tim Hortons in Canada, we’re committed to brewing fresh original blend coffee every 20 minutes, and introduced freshly cracked eggs across the country as of February 2021.

At Popeyes around the world, our chicken is marinated for at least twelve hours in bold and flavorful Louisiana seasonings, freshly breaded, then hand-battered and fried with a crispy, shatter crunch texture. Popeyes iconic chicken sandwich is handcrafted using just four simple ingredients: crispy buttermilk chicken marinated in bold Louisiana seasonings, premium mayonnaise, barrel cured pickles and a buttered and toasted brioche bun.

Ingredients Policies

Going beyond standard regulatory compliance, our brands are in the process of expanding their ingredient and nutrition policies with specific requirements of mandatory compliancy for suppliers of those brands.

In addition to these brand specific ingredient and nutrition policies, we require that all Burger King, Tim Hortons, Popeyes, and Firehouse Subs approved products globally must be free of partially hydrogenated oils. Globally, cooking oil and ingredients must be designated as trans-fat free or containing zero trans-fat, as applicable per local or national legislation.
