This month, multinational fast-food chain Burger King added the Plant-Based Whopper to select locations across Japan for a limited time. The new burger is made with a soy-based patty (made by Australian vegan brand v2food) along with lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, ketchup, mayonnaise, and is served on a toasted sesame seed bun. “Burger King is proud to announce the launch of the Plant-Based Whopper, a 100 percent plant-based patty with a smoky, savory flavor created by its unique ‘open flame’ method,” a press release announcing the launch states. “Burger King has spent nearly two years developing a burger with a 100 percent plant-based patty. Now, we are proud to present the Plant-Based Whopper.”
