Quick Service Restaurants (QSRs) in North America are increasingly incorporating fresh produce into their menus to offer healthier eating options and address growing consumer concerns about ultra-processed foods. This trend is driving innovation with ingredients like avocados, potatoes, watermelons, and mushrooms, supported by industry groups that provide education and marketing to promote fresh produce adoption in fast-casual and QSR segments. Operators focus on quality and transparency to build consumer trust and differentiate their offerings amid economic challenges.
