Burger King becomes first fast-food chain to launch UK vegetarian ‘chicken’ nuggets

For various health and environmental reasons, we can see more and more people switching to a plant-based diet over the years. This has subsequently increased the demand for plant-based foods everywhere. To meet this demand, today we see many restaurants and cafes offering a wide range of vegetarian dishes on their menus – which are both delicious and healthy, and of course eco-friendly. Joining the bandwagon, Burger King became the first fast-food restaurant chain in the United Kingdom to launch vegetarian nuggets on its menu. According to the official Burger King UK website, these vegetarian nuggets contain soy, wheat, celery, gluten, etc. And like their chicken counterpart, these vegetarian nuggets are also covered with a crunchy coating. The company noted, these nuggets are specifically designed to have the “taste and look” of a regular chicken nugget.

for the unknown, Burger King Have been experimenting with plant-based burgers for some time now. Earlier in 2021, the fast-food chain introduced the plant-based Whopper in the United States, Europe and Singapore for a limited time. This initiative was taken to meet the demands of many vegetarian patrons. He is not everything. KFC And McDonald’s also launched plant-based alternatives to its chicken burgers to meet the growing demand for vegetarian meats everywhere.
