In Germany, vegans were literally planted by Burger King. As a research team found, meatless products were replaced by meat products when they were not available. What is it like in Austria? The “Krone” asked.
Burger King wants to be greener and more ecological – has launched a vegan offensive. However, it falters. In Germany there is a huge scandal about the fast food chain. There, the slogan “tastes like meat” was taken a bit too literally. A research team has sneaked into the production of some branches and has uncovered something terrifying, not just for vegans.
No more “V-Label” in Germany
“If you don’t have vegetable nuggets, hand out regular nuggets,” explains one employee. In addition, meatless products also regularly came into contact with meat products. Moldy foods and mouse infestations were also subjects. Burger King Germany has also lost the strict “V-Label” marking.
“Private and strict controls”
However, the scandal in Germany is also disturbing for the Austrian owners – after all, the first purely vegan establishment has just opened in Vienna. A company spokesperson: “The situation in Germany cannot be compared one-on-one with Austria. Burger King may continue to carry the V-Label in Austria. Because we are dealing with two legally and economically independent franchisees, we also have our own and tightened control structures in Austria.”
