Burger King is trialling a meat-free version of its iconic Whopper — but is it a healthier option than the traditional Whopper and are consumers buying into the vegan trend?
McDonald's in some parts of the world, including Finland and Sweden, offer a vegan burger — named the McVegan — while in Australia, Hungry Jacks has a vegan cheeseburger made from corn, capsicum, carrot and vegan cheese.
"So yes, it's a healthier option than a Whopper but it's still quite high in fat and high in sodium, and ordering it without the cheese would be a healthier option." "If you have a fries and coke with that, you've eaten more than half of your energy for the day in one meal ,whether it's the vegan burger or the regular burger," she said.
