It's been three decades since I worked at Burger King but I remember the broiler being a really big piece of machinery upon which the rest of the kitchen workflow revolved. It might be possible to design something that segregates different types of patties but there certainly will be retrofit costs and likely some kitchens where many other fixtures must be relocated or replaced to accommodate the larger broiler. Which isn't to say they should be able to advertise a vegan burger if they're going to let it get contaminated with animal products. It's just not a simple fix, which might lead to Burger King deciding it's not worth the effort.
- jobigoud 7y agoWhen we buy products at the grocery store we can look at the package and after the ingredients list it says "this product may contain traces of this or traces of that", or "this product was made in a factory that also process this or that". This is very common for traces of nuts and fish. I imagine all vegetarians have this routine for products they haven't bought before. Some vegans/vegetarians care about it a lot, some don't. Both are acceptable stances in my opinion. It's all about transparency. We also all know insects were likely crushed while harvesting plants and cereals we eat, and probably ended up in our food. But you do develop a certain disgust at the idea that a dead mammal/bird/fish was processed along with your food, so it makes the food less enjoyable. In this case, you would likely simply not go to Burger King, just like you wouldn't buy the pre-processed food that has traces amount of whatever you don't want to sponsor.
