Product description

The Impossible Whopper is made with a meat alternative burger patty from Impossible Foods, topped with tomatoes, lettuce, mayonnaise, ketchup, pickles, and onions. It can be ordered with cheese.[1] The Impossible Whopper is prepared with mayonnaise and on the same grill as all other burgers. As such, the Impossible Whopper is not vegetarian or vegan[3][4][5] unless customers modify the toppings and ask for it to be prepared in an oven and not on the grill.[6]
