You'd think the incredibly popular In-N-Out Burger has its recipe down to a science at this point, but this recent move proves that may not be true. The fast-food joint has quietly changed its iconic burger buns, which many argue are a big part of the allure.

A daring move by the chain

If you're the type who drools at the thought of an In-N-Out burger, you're not alone. That's why this change in its iconic burger is so noteworthy. The question will be whether customers love the new recipe as much as the original.

“As part of our ongoing commitment to our customers, we’ve made meaningful changes to our ingredients over the years and continue to do so today,” In-N-Out wrote in a statement on its Instagram.

Its buns will no longer contain sesame flour. This chain-wide change applies to both burgers and sandwiches.

A relatively new bun recipe

What makes the change more surprising is that sesame flour was a relatively new ingredient in the buns, only being introduced about two years ago.

The allergen information for the buns and sandwiches has now been updated, so you can clearly see the ingredients. It is important to note that the buns are made in a facility where sesame, milk, and soy are present, and possibly on the same line/equipment.

The changes don't stop with the buns

Another change has also been announced, and this one affects the French fries.

If you're the type who loves grabbing a few salt packets to add to your fries, you may taste a difference. Instead of iodized salt, the packets now contain sea salt.

The salt packet sizes will still be the same, and you will still have the same access to them. These changes, and any other ones, are all available on the chain's website so you can clearly see the ingredients.

Get a taste for yourself

If you're curious about the taste of the new buns and sandwiches, the best way to judge the change is to try one yourself.
