Fast food company Burger King will expand a vegetable-based food menu by offering impossible nuggets, meat-free alternatives to traditional chicken nuggets. According to Burger King, it will be the first fast food restaurant chain that offers the unould nuggets as a menu item, although only a few shops will offer them at first.
As with the launch of the impossible Whopper products which cannot be based on burgers, Burger King plans to test the impossible nugget in certain markets before a wider release to other stores. According to the company, it will start offering the impossible Nuggets in restaurants in Miami, Boston, and Des Moines.
If you are in one of those locations, you will be able to order unmarked nuggets starting from October 11. This product will display eight nuggets. Like the impossible whopper, nuggets that cannot be based on plants are not entirely vegetarian or vegan – while they do not contain other animal meat or products, Burger King says it will cook it in the same oil used to cook cheese and meat.
Burger King is not the only fast food company and convenience to offer popular vegetable food products. Starbucks, for example, has ‘plant-based meat’ options available for those who avoid animal products; Likewise, JR Carl has a vegetable burger, white castle has an impossible slider, and small Caesars offers vegetable-based pepperoni.
Alternative meat-based plant has increased popularity in the midst of increasing high-quality vegetarian choices, as well as concerns about health and climate effects of eating meat-based foods. Outside the meat and food that is impossible both offer a variety of plant-based meat products in many grocery stores throughout the US.
