Is the Plant-based Whopper vegan?
By ingredients, yes: the patty is made from plants, the mayo is vegan and Burger King UK lists no milk or egg. By preparation, no: the patty goes on the same broiler as beef, so traces of meat are possible. That is why Burger King UK does not label it vegan, and why vegans who avoid cross-contact usually pick the Vegan Royale, which the Vegan Society certifies. For vegetarians and flexitarians who want the flame-grilled taste without beef, this burger is the obvious order.
Compared with the beef Whopper and Vegan Royale
Meat-free vs beef
| Burger | Typical price | Kcal | Protein | Allergens |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Plant-based Whopper | £7.89 | 528 | 27 g | Gluten (wheat), Soya, Celery, Sesame |
| Whopper | £7.99 | 595 | 29 g | Gluten (wheat), Celery, Sesame |
| Vegan Royale | £7.89 | 557 | 17 g | Gluten (wheat), Soya, Sesame |
All three cost roughly the same, so the choice comes down to taste and how strict you are. The Vegan Royale is a crispy coated "chicken" burger; the meat-free Whopper is a grilled "beef" one.
