Meat-free diets are becoming very popular amongst consumers seeking to reduce their carbon footprint and avoid animal products for ethical reasons, which is seeing brands respond with new menu items like the White Castle Impossible Slider.
Launched as the first example of the Impossible Burger showing up in the fast food market, the slider is crafted with ingredients that allow to look, smell and taste just like meat, but with an ingredient list that is completely plant-based. This will come as welcome news to vegetarians seeking a way to enjoy classic flavors in a meat-free manner that suits their lifestyle.
The White Castle Impossible Slider comes topped with smoked cheddar cheese, onions and pickles, and comes served on the brands signature slider bun.
