"According to their website, the target is to ensure that by 2030, all of their beef in America and Canada "will be sourced from suppliers that prohibit the routine use of medically important antibiotics". This is a part of Wendy's commitment to sourcing beef responsibly - a long-standing mission that dates back to 2001, when they set up the Animal Welfare Council."
"Over 4 million burgers are sold in America every day, and Wendy's, along with quick service behemoths like McDonald's and Burger King, are responsible for a sizable chunk of those sales. Unlike many fast food restaurants, Wendy's has always taken pride in serving fresh, never-frozen beef, at least at their American and Canadian outlets. In 2016, they introduced an added long-term goal to eliminate the use of antibiotics in their protein as well. To this end, they put their protein supply chain under the microscope."
Wendy's aims to ensure that by 2030 all beef in the United States and Canada will be sourced from suppliers that prohibit the routine use of medically important antibiotics. The commitment builds on an Animal Welfare Council established in 2001 and a 2016 target to eliminate antibiotic use in protein. Wendy's emphasizes supply chain visibility and seeks transparency beyond direct suppliers to those responsible for animal care. The company created the Animal Care Standards Program in 2020 to document best practices across beef, pork, chicken, eggs, and dairy. Since 2020 over 30% of beef purchases have come from producers committing to at least a 20% reduction in antibiotics used in fed cattle.
