New items include:

• Ranch salad with popcorn chicken, guacamole, tomato and a three-cheese blend;
• Ranch wrap, which is the ranch salad served in a tortilla;

• Italian breakfast burrito, with a sausage patty, egg, marinara sauce, mozzareela cheese, hash browns, peppers and onions served in a wheat tortilla.

Additionally, Burger King is now offering apple juice, Buddy Fruits and oatmeal raisin cookies for kids.

Available online and in brochures, the BK Positive Steps program gives families recommendations for making small changes in five key areas to make a difference to their health. These areas include eating more fruit and vegetables, eating less sugar and fat, eating healthier snacks, encouraging portion control and eating together as a family. The program was rolled out last year throughout all restaurants in Latin America and the Caribbean.
