Wendy’s will sell its now canned chili
Wendy’s famous chili is hitting grocery stores, for more than double the price at its restaurants.
The Ohio-based fast food chain recently announced that it is collaborating with packaged goods company Conagra Brands to sell canned versions of Wendy’s chili with beans across the United States.
According to the fast food brand, the cans will retail for $4.49, (about 76 Mexican pesos) more than double the average cost of $2.09 for a small chili at Wendy’s locations, according to fastfoodmenuprices.com.
It’s worth mentioning that the brand is known in the United States and some parts of the world because it has been serving its chili since 1969 and is one of the most recognizable items in the burger joint. Ingredients include beef, bell peppers, and beans that are simmered in a tomato-based sauce.
“We are thrilled to partner with Conagra Brands and to have the opportunity to bring our brand’s iconic chili flavor to even more fans. When the craving for Wendy’s chili hits, you now have two delicious ways to get your fix: in retail stores or in our restaurants,” said Carl Loredo, Wendy’s Company global marketing director, in a statement.
Stewed chili in restaurants is made with leftover hamburger meat, but it’s unclear if the canned version will have similar meat.
For its part, in a statement, Conagra promised that the beef is “all-natural” contains no artificial ingredients and undergoes minimal processing.
“We are thrilled to partner with Wendy’s and bring a fan favorite into homes across the country,” said Juliette van de Walle, prepared chili brand leader at Conagra Brands.
“We work closely with the Wendy’s culinary team to ensure we bring back the indulgent flavors and delicious ingredients of chili that has long been a staple on the Wendy’s menu,” he said.
Before this launch, consumers have been commenting, as an example, many do not like this new version of the product.
“You know how a mediocre canned chili already?” one person said in a comment.
“Wendys sells the worst chili ever made. Why would anyone buy it in a can?” another netizen commented.
“Disgusting… good luck,” one quipped.
“They should put some burnt fries in the cans just to make it authentic!” said another netizen.
In summary, there are many brands that are betting on their products to supermarkets, such as Starbucks, which has been selling a line of coffee capsules in grocery stores for a long time.
