Burger King was sued on Monday by a vegan customer who accused the fast-food chain of contaminating its meatless “Impossible” Whoppers by cooking them on the same grills as its traditional meat burgers.
In a proposed class action, Phillip Williams said he bought an Impossible Whopper, a plant-based alternative to Burger King’s regular Whopper, at an Atlanta drive-through, and would not have paid a premium price had he known the cooking would leave it “coated in meat by-products.”
The lawsuit filed in Miami federal court seeks damages for all U.S. purchasers of the Impossible Whopper, and an injunction requiring Burger King to “plainly disclose” that Impossible Whoppers and regular burgers are cooked on the same grills.
Burger King, a unit of Toronto-based Restaurant Brands International Inc, declined to comment, saying it does not discuss pending litigation.

Oh, the hugh-manatee!
No good deed goes unpunished. I’m just sayin’
Boo effing hoo!
WAIT , I thought their burgers were NOT cooked on a Grill
GOOD #### Burger King the ####ing WALL!!
These jerkoffs came up with the STUPID PC idea and I hope it buries them.
Didn’t like them much to begin with but now i wouldn’t buy a soda there
no companies EVER LEARN.
Catering to the minority is SUCH BAD BUSINESS
I had one...had to try it...goofy plant based product....blech. Nothing special. Give me the real deal.
Why is it “OK” for some vegans to be upset when we eat meat in front of them, but we are not allowed to get upset when they don’t? /s
This is what you get when you cater to these hate-filled, arrogant, vegan assholes!
I was expecting this.
Last Friday night, I decided to try one of the Impossible Whoppers.
No kidding, it tasted good. It tasted like beef. I thought it was good. I’d try another.
Hell, there’s hardly any meat in a regular Whopper.
Just quit making it.
That’ll fix things.
It probably only tastes good because of being cooked with all the beef grease saturating it when it’s cooked on the same grill.
I don’t always fart after eating at Burger King but when I do it’s a Whopper!!!!!!!!!

Burger King does not fry their burgers on a grill like McDonald’s, they’re flame broiled.
