Burger King wins âlaunch of the yearâ at PETAâs annual vegan food awards
PETA has announced Burger King as the winner of their 9th annual vegan food award. Burger King won for their Vegan Royale, a plant-based version of the original chicken royale.
The Vegan Royale is a vegan-friendly, crispy chicken burger with dairy-free mayo and iceberg lettuce.
There is still controversy about whether buying from a fast-food restaurant such as burger king, is ethically correct as the chains contribute to mass consumption of animal products.
However, the product itself is confirmed to be cooked on separate grills making it suitable for vegans. You donât have to be vegan to enjoy this burger as many meat-eaters, flexitarians and vegetarians have shown.
The Vegan Royale has allowed many people to be included when dining with others or even at a quick stop when everything else is closed. Itâs convenient, and if you identify as plant-based, thereâs no longer any need to miss out.
Nicola Pierce, Director of Commercial Planning and ESG of Burger King UKÂź, said that âTo receive such recognition from PETA is an honour and a testament to the product and its tasteâ.
Someone on the Burger King UK Instagram page commented, âBest vegan fast (food) out thereâ.
