Burger King is bringing Impossible Nuggets Made From Plants to select locations in Des Moines, IA, Boston, MA, and Miami, FL starting October 11th. The quick-service restaurant will be the first to test the plant-based nuggets from Impossible Foods.
Impossible Nuggets Made From Plants, complete with a crispy breaded outside and tender, juicy inside, will come in an eight-piece order with a choice of dipping sauce and will be available for a limited time. The nuggets will be cooked in the same oil as meat and cheese products.
“This isn’t the first time we’ve teamed up with Impossible to make waves in the industry. In 2019, we became the first quick-service restaurant to serve the award-winning, plant-based Impossible patty and offer the iconic Impossible Whopper,” said Ellie Doty, Chief Marketing Officer, Burger King North America. “So, it’s only fitting we’re the first global QSR to test the Impossible Nuggets. We’re excited to hear what our guests in the test markets think of this latest innovation.”
Burger King made headlines in 2019 when it partnered with Impossible Foods in 2019 on the Impossible Whopper, becoming one of the first major quick-service restaurants to offer a plant-based burger. The launch of the Impossible Whopper was a massive success and has since expanded to more than 7,000 Burger King locations in the US.
While the Impossible Whopper is not vegan when ordered as-is, guests can ask to remove the mayonnaise and may request that the patty be prepared with a non-broiler method to avoid it being cooked on the same grill as meat patties.
If the success of the Impossible Whopper is any indication of how Burger King’s test of Impossible Nuggets Made From Plants will go, we are hopeful that we may be seeing the plant-based nuggets released in other markets in the future. Until then, we’ll be looking forward to hearing what guests in the Des Moines, Boston, and Miami test markets think of Burger King’s newest menu item.
I think this is another great step for Murder King and the public. The Vegan Movement is gaining acceptance and the Impossible Burger and Vegan Chic’n Chunks are other ways for the public to gain exposure to Vegan foods and the concept of Veganism.
