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.<\/p>\n
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!<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This burger would have been considered a game-changer if it appealed to the veg+vegan community in the UAE as a whole.<\/p>\n
