Wendy’s Canada Is Serving Up Freshness - From the Greenhouse to Your Tray

At Wendy’s, quality isn’t just our recipe — it’s how we show up every day. That means using fresh, high-quality ingredients, including 100% greenhouse-grown lettuce and tomatoes across Canada. And now, we’re expanding that commitment with Canadian greenhouse-grown strawberries. 

A Fresh Take on Summer Flavour 

If you’re digging into a Wendy’s Strawberry Salad this season, you’re tasting that commitment firsthand.  

Made with 100% Canadian white meat grilled chicken breast, the Strawberry Salad features a mix of fresh ingredients like greenhouse-grown spring mix, hand-cut strawberries, fire-roasted corn, sharp white cheddar and roasted pecans — all topped with a sweet onion vinaigrette for the perfect balance of sweet and savoury. Packed with protein, the salad delivers on the craveability Wendy’s fans love. 

And the best part? Many of those strawberries are grown right here in Canada in greenhouses designed to deliver consistent freshness and flavour. 

Why Fresh Matters 

At Wendy’s, “fresh” isn’t just something we say. It’s something you can see and taste. 

Fresh ingredients taste better, move quickly from harvest to restaurant, and support responsible sourcing. 

That’s why we’ve invested in greenhouse-grown produce across Canada to help us serve ingredients that stay fresher, longer. 

The Power of Greenhouse Growing 

Greenhouse growing isn’t just good for freshness — it’s a smarter, more sustainable way to grow. Wendy’s Canada has been an early adopter of these sustainability initiatives. Our produce tastes great and is grown without the use of chemical pesticides, among other benefits. Unlike traditional field farming, greenhouses provide:   

• Consistent quality, taste, colour, and texture, meeting Wendy’s strict standards for freshness.   
• Up to 90% less water usage compared to traditional farming.   
• Reducing or eliminating pesticides, thanks to natural Integrated Pest Management.   
• Reduced carbon footprint using recycled heat and carbon dioxide.  

From lettuce to tomatoes, and now strawberries, we’re bringing fresh thinking to the ingredients you love. 

From Canadian Farms to Your Tray 

Wendy’s Canada has been leading the way in greenhouse-grown produce: 

• The first national QSR in Canada to serve greenhouse-grown lettuce in every restaurant. 
• 100% greenhouse-grown Canadian tomatoes nationwide since 2025  
• Now expanding into greenhouse-grown Canadian strawberries from Ontario and British Columbia. 

When you order the Strawberry Salad, you’re not just enjoying fresh flavour — you’re supporting Canadian growers, too. 

A Canadian Success Story - Recognized for Doing Fresh and Sustainable Right 

Our greenhouse-grown lettuce, tomatoes, and strawberries demonstrate action against the commitments we’ve made under our corporate responsibility platform, Good Done Right.  

As part of this commitment, Wendy’s Canada has been recognized with the 2026 Green Leadership Award by Kostuch Media Ltd. highlighting our efforts to advance sustainable business practices - from innovative restaurant design to responsible sourcing initiatives like greenhouse-grown produce. 

Fresh, Local, and Made for Now 

At Wendy’s, fresh isn’t a trend. It’s who we are. 

From greenhouse-grown lettuce and tomatoes to strawberries featured in seasonal favourites like the Strawberry Salad, we’re always looking for ways to serve food that’s fresh, high-quality, responsibly sourced, and full of flavour. 

Because when ingredients are grown with care, sourced close to home, and served fresh, you can taste the difference.
