Overview
- Wendy’s confirmed to USA TODAY that the fan-favorite dipping sauce will return next year and said it wants to “make it right” after widespread feedback.
- The company and multiple outlets report a spring 2026 timeframe, with no specific launch date or rollout details yet announced.
- Wendy’s publicly credited TikTok creator Jaz (@justjazzzyidk), who said she spoke with the company and announced the comeback in a Dec. 16 video.
- A Wendy’s/Savanta survey of 1,000 Americans found 77% say sauce “makes the meal,” and nine in 10 use dipping sauces, bolstering the decision.
- The sauce was removed in September when Wendy’s introduced six new, larger dipping sauces, and the chain has not said whether its return will replace any current option.
