Why Burger King’s Impossible Whopper Isn’t Totally Vegetarian
The new menu item may seem like a great option for vegetarians to enjoy a meatless burger, but that might not completely be the case.
While the patty is made entirely of plant products, it’s grilled on the same broiler that gives the fast-food chain’s food its signature flavor, the company acknowledged.
Vegans were already upset, says TODAY, as the burger came topped with mayo, but now many vegetarians are calling the fast-food chain out on Twitter for the cooking method.
The Impossible Whopper goes nationwide on Thursday.
What is the cooking instructions though!? Are you keeping it separate from where the burgers are cooked?!
