Van man sues Burger King, accusing the fast-food chain of contaminating its meatless 'Impossible' Whoppers by cooking them on the same grills as its traditional meat burgers
Burger King, a unit of Toronto-based Restaurant Brands International Inc, declined to comment, saying it does not discuss pending litigation.
Its website describes the Impossible Burger as"100% Whopper, 0% Beef," and adds that"for guests looking for a meat-free option, a non-broiler method of preparation is available upon request." Williams' lawyer did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the disclaimer or the available cooking options.
Impossible Foods Inc, which helped create the Impossible Whopper, has said it designed the product for meat eaters who want to consume less animal protein, not for vegans or vegetarians. "For people who are strictly vegan, there is a microwave prep procedure that they're welcome to ask for in any store," Dana Worth, Impossible Foods' head of sales, said in a recent interview.Restaurant Brands also owns the Canadian coffee and restaurant chain Tim Hortons, and is overseen by Brazilian private equity firm 3G Capital.
