In-N-Out Burger updates buns, salt and ketchup recipes across select locations
In-N-Out Burger announced it will remove sesame flour from buns in ten states, switch its seasoning packets to sea salt, and replace high-fructose corn syrup with real sugar in its ketchup.
In-N-Out Burger disclosed a series of recipe changes intended to improve product quality. Beginning soon, sesame flour will be eliminated from buns at restaurants in ten states, and the company will replace iodized salt in its packet seasoning with sea salt. Its ketchup formula will also shift from high-fructose corn syrup to real sugar.
The announcement sparked divergent responses on social media; some diners noted the buns felt more crumbly, while others welcomed the allergy-friendly adjustment and the removal of fructose. A subset of commenters argued that iodized salt provides essential iodine and should be retained. The chain emphasized the updates reflect its ongoing commitment to fresh, high-quality ingredients.
