Wendy's adds grilled chicken wrap to Kids' Meals

June 4, 2013

Wendy's is adding new menu items and interactive games to its Kids' Meals, just in time for summer. Additionally, the meals are now available for $1.99 after 4 p.m.

"Mealtime is important for parents to spend with their children — even if it's on the go. By providing nutritious options on our Kids' Meal menu and interactive games for the whole family, we hope to create quality moments for parents to engage with their kids," said Liz Geraghty, Wendy's vice president of Brand Marketing.

Wendy's has recently joined Kids LiveWell, a program launched by the National Restaurant Association in collaboration with Healthy Dining Finder to help parents and children select nutritious foods when dining out.

Wendy's has two complete meal options that meet the nutrition criteria of Kids LiveWell:

• Grilled Chicken Wrap with sliced apples
• Kids' Meal Hamburger with sliced apples

Drink choices for both meals include Juicy Juice 100-percent apple juice, TruMoo 1 percent low fat white milk and Nestle bottled water.

New menu item and games

Wendy's expanded its Kids' Meal options by introducing the Grilled Chicken Wrap, which starts with one-half of a grilled chicken breast, and is topped with lettuce, cheddar cheese and a honey mustard sauce all wrapped in a flour tortilla.

Also, as part of the company's "Pause. Play. Together." initiative, every Kids' Meal comes with interactive games that parents can play with their children or toys that can be used to teach them something new. This summer will feature Klutz Triptivities activity books that have games, puzzles, doodles, flipbooks and more.

"All of our toys are designed to encourage 'family time' with parents and children," Geraghty said.
