Dubai’s vegan and vegetarian community aren’t at all happy with the new ‘Plant-Based’ Whopper that Burger King UAE have recently added to their menu.
One would probably take away the fact that the burger would be suitable for vegans, considering that it’s advertised to be ‘plant-based’, although that’s not the case with this specific Whopper!
Fast-food giant Burger King confirmed that the Plant-Based Whopper consists of an egg-based patty, including non-vegan mayo. Thus, Dubai peeps are calling out the international burger franchise for their false advertising and for jumping on the vegan bandwagon without actually making it a wholesome effort.
Residents also complained of the brand’s social media community management, as instead of addressing complaints – comments were being deleted and inquiries were left unanswered.
This burger would have been considered a game-changer if it appealed to the veg+vegan community in the UAE as a whole.

As eggs are an animal byproduct and by no means ‘plant-based’.
A quick google search of ‘plant-based’ reads,
Plant–based or plant-forward eating patterns focus on foods primarily from plants. This includes not only fruits and vegetables, but also nuts, seeds, oils, whole grains, legumes, and beans.
What about the mayonnaise? That’s not vegan
To BK’s defence, the fast-good giant never advertised their burgers as ‘vegan’.
