Burger King has added a new "all meat" vegan burger dubbed the 'Version 2 Whopper' to its menu in Japan. This one-of-kind sandwich replaces buns with two vegan meat patties, which serve to hold a variety of fresh veggies including lettuce, tomatoes, and onions.
Created to highlight the quality of Burger King's new plant-based patties, this unique sandwich will be on offer for a limited amount of time starting September 2nd. In a recent tweet, the company referred to the 'Version 2 Whopper' as an "evolved burger" with a "smoky and fragrant taste and texture."
The release of this new vegan burger is representative of the company's broader expansion into the space of plant-based alternatives. A move that is in keeping with its global competitors including Wendy's, A&W, and McDonald's, all of which are serving similar meat-free sandwiches.
