Kayla Branton, an insider from one of the Wendy's outlet's claims that the meat is delivered frozen but is never frozen at the location. It is thawed in the refrigerator and used as and when required from there.
A business insider report claims that despite the shortage of beef in the region, Wendy's is not planning to switch to frozen variety. Some restaurants are pulling burgers off their menu; others are pulling off double patty options while keeping the single patty option available.
This report alone is a good silencer for the critics who say that use of fresh meat at Wendy's is a hoax.
