From breakfast to dinner, there’s a solid vegan option for every meal at Burger King
ack in 2019, Burger King was one of the first national chains to add the plant-based Impossible Burger to its menu. The famous Impossible Whopper, which can be ordered vegan without the mayonnaise, became an instant hit for the company.
Since then, it has built on that success significantly. Around the world, its vegan menu is rapidly expanding, and the company has even trialled entirely plant-based locations in a few countries (albeit none in the US yet).

That said, American consumers aren’t missing out. In the past few months, the chain has trialled vegan chicken burgers in select US locations, plus the Impossible Whopper is still available nationwide. And, unlike some places (ahem, McDonald’s), Burger King fries are totally vegan, too.
Here we’ve put together a vegan guide on how to eat plant-based at Burger King in the US. But first, let’s take a look at some of the options available elsewhere, all of which demonstrate why the brand is quickly becoming a global leader in the plant-based fast-food space.
Does Burger King have vegan options?
The amount of vegan options on the Burger King menu depends on where you are.
Across the UK, for example, you can order the Plant-based Whopper, the Vegan Royale, and Vegan Nuggets, all of which feature plant-based meat from the Vegetarian Butcher. But if you’re specifically in the English city of Bristol, you can find even more plant-based options on the menu.
The fast-food giant is hosting its second UK plant-based pop-up (the first was in London in April 2022) at its Cribbs Causeway spot until November 6. The menu includes 24 vegan items, including a Bakon King, a Vegan Nugget Burger, a Plant-Based Double Whopper, and Vegan Chilli Cheeeze Bites.

Other countries where Burger King has trialled 100 percent vegan or meat-free restaurants include Austria, Switzerland, Chile, Spain, and just recently, Israel. Plus, in Germany, the fast-food chain began offering a vegan version for every meat option on its menu earlier this year. And in France, it added La Vie vegan bacon to its Veggie Steakhouse Burgers in June.
The chain’s growing range of vegan options is, in part, due to changing attitudes around meat, as more people choose to become flexitarian or plant-based. But it’s also a big part of its recent commitment to be more sustainable. In January, it even pledged to make half of its UK menu meat-free by 2030 in a bid to lower its emissions.
Does Burger King have vegan chicken?
The US may not have a fully plant-based Burger King yet, but it could be getting new vegan options nationwide soon. In August, the fast-food giant started trialling the Original Chik’n Sandwich in select Cincinnati, OH locations; the menu option, which features an Impossible Chicken burger, is vegan if ordered without the mayonnaise.

Outside of the US, Burger King has plant-based chicken on its permanent nationwide menu in several locations. Belgium, for example, has Veggie Nuggets. Germany has the Plant-based Long Chicken, and the UK’s Vegan Royale also contains a plant-based chicken patty.
Check the menu at your local restaurant to find out if Burger King offers vegan chicken in your area.
What are Burger King vegan burgers made of?
Burger King has several different partnerships with plant-based meat suppliers around the world, so not all of its vegan burgers are made with the same ingredients.

In the US, the Impossible Whopper features Impossible Foods’ soy protein-based Impossible Burger. In the UK, the Rebel Whopper is made with soy-based burgers from Dutch brand Vegetarian Butcher, which also supplies to several of its other European locations. In Chile, Burger King’s meat-free burgers are made with Chilean brand NotCo’s pea protein patties.
