Is The Spread At In-N-Out Sugar Free?

If you are unfamiliar, one of the things In-N-Out is famous for is their spread.

And if you’re wondering “What does In-N-Out spread taste like?” their spread tastes like a combination of mayo, relish, and ketchup. People like to compare it to Thousand Islands dressing but I think Thousand Island is definitely more tangy and less satiating.

The Spread At In-N-Out is NOT sugar free. One packet of spread has 2g of sugar.

Personally, I am opting for spread. If I am at In-N-Out, I’m having spread. It’s like going to a steakhouse and ordering chicken. I simply won’t be that person.
