I'm referring to the process of cooking it.
They don't separate the food and you get cross-contact with meat and dairy proteins - making it non-vegetarian and definately not vegan.
This is basically all marketing driven (which is fine) but its not animal-product free, which is what normal people think when they see "plant based" food.
- noselasd 8y agoHow much of an "impossible" 150g burger are we talking about here that contains animal meat ? 10% ? 50% ?
- GordonS 8y agoIn a cross-contamination scenario as described, it's going to be trace amounts only.
- noselasd 8y agoSo it's a meatless burger that might have been in contact with meat or been in contact with a surface that has been in contact with meet ? And this upsets people to the point the entire product is dismissed and labelled a lie ? No wonder the world is not at peace.
- bifrost 8y agoPeople don't like being lied to.
- noselasd 8y agoHow is it a lie ? Where is this line drawn ? After all farmers like to fertilize fields using manure from animals - which ends up in the plants. Animals breathe and exhale CO2, which plants might take up. Plants might have been in contact with or partially eaten by birds, butterflies, deer etc. "contaminating" the plant we later eat, but this does not seem to bother people.
- deanclatworthy 8y agoAre you absolutely certain this is the case? The majority of my vegetarian friends would be upset to find their vegetarian dish was contaminated with meat if they ate out in a restaurant. I don't see why it would be any different in BK?
- bifrost 8y agoI am 100% certain about this, ask about allergens instead of specific ingredients and you'll get a real answer that isn't spun.
- Consultant32452 8y agoVirtually every vegetarian meal you've ever had was contaminated. My personal anecdote here is several years making pizza. Veggie pizzas are topped by hands that have handled meats without being washed, the pizza cutter used to slice your pizza just got done cutting a hundred meat pizzas. In my years making pizzas I made 2-3 pizzas in a non-contaminated way, it was a special request. Everyone is either unaware of this or is ok with it.
- bifrost 8y agoI don't disagree. This is why I personally avoid places that aren't 100% vegan or don't have serious published food handling guidelines. Someone's laziness could kill someone.
