The first completely plant-based Burger King will make its heavily anticipated debut this summer in Germany. The fast-food chain has acted as a pioneer for plant-based menu items across the world, and now the brand is taking its dedication to plant-based service to another level. The first plant-based Burger King will launch in Cologne, Germany for a limited time, working with Dutch plant-based meat company The Vegetarian Butcher to release the fully vegan menu.
The vegan Burger King is slated to open just four days, from June 7th until June 11th, hoping to cater to all Burger King and fast-food fans. The menu is expected to include the chain’s signature alternative meats from plant-based nuggets to the Whopper. With the launch, Burger King will roll out its brand new plant-based Long Chicken Patty sandwich topped with shredded lettuce and a brand new vegan mayo. Other than the vegan mayo, it is unclear if the brand will also develop dairy-free cheese and vegan condiments for th

The first entirely meatless Burger King location will open for a limited time this summer in Cologne, Germany. From June 7 until June 11, the vegetarian Burger King will only serve plant-based meat options made by European brand The Vegetarian Butcher at the Cologne location. During this time period, Burger King Germany will also debut its newest item: a plant-based version of The Long Chicken (also called Chicken Royale in other countries), a plant-based chicken sandwich served with vegan mayonnaise on a long sesame seed bun.
In September 2020, Burger King added vegan chicken nuggets made by The Vegetarian Butcher to its menu in Germany. The soy-based nuggets which are now fried in a separate fryer used for plant-based products are offered with vegan dipping sauces. German customers can also order the Rebel Whopper at Burger King, which features a plant-based patty also made by The Vegetarian Butcher.

By 2031, the menu at Burger King locations in the United Kingdom could be 50 percent plant-based. In an interview with British morning newspaper inews, Burger King UK CEO Alasdair Murdoch explained that the addition of plant-based items on the chain’s menu displaces other options made and within the next decade, this could result in a Burger King menu with 50 percent fewer animal products. “When we bring in a plant-based product … there is probably an equal and opposite reaction where we are taking something else off,” Murdoch said. “Are there going to be less meat products? Ultimately, you would say yes. Over time the amount of beef that we are selling as a proportion of our total sales is reducing.”
V2Foods unveiled its plant-based patty in 2019 at Australian chain Hungry Jack’s a franchise brand of the Burger King Corporation. The patty was created in partnership with Australia’s national science agency CSIRO, Main Sequence Ventures, and Hungry Jack’s founder Jack Cowin who invested $1 million to develop the beef alternative. In addition to locations in South Korea, v2Foods’ patties are also available at Burger King locations in Japan and the Philippines.
Burger King’s plant-based Whopper goes global
In August 2019, Burger King first launched the Impossible Whopper made with an Impossible Burger plant-based patty at all of its locations across the United States. Since then, different versions of meatless Whoppers have made their way onto menus across the world, including the Rebel Whopper in Brazil (which features a plant-based patty produced by Marfrig Global Foods SA the world’s largest producer of animal-based hamburgers); the Rebel Whopper in Sweden (where t
