Burger King brings back its Bacon King range with new vegan options

The Bacon King range is back from January 4, featuring a plant-based twist. The new line up introduces the fully certified Vegan Royale Bakon King with vegan Bakon and vegan Cheeeze. The meaty Bacon King will also be hitting menus nationwide.

From January 4, Burger King will be offering plant-based add-ons so customers will be able to personalise any plant-based burger supplied by The Vegetarian Butcher with add-ons supplied by Violife vegan Cheeeze or La Vie Bakon.

Katie Evans, from Burger King UK said: “We’re incredibly proud of our new menu additions and confident that our customers will enjoy the new plant-based bacon and cheese as much as we have in taste tests! The extension of our plant-based offer reflects our ongoing commitment to serve a diverse and innovative range of products, whilst aiming to reach a 50% meat-free menu by 2030.”

Romain Jolivet from La Vie said: "We are very happy to be partnering with Burger King to introduce our multi-awarded plant-based bacon La Vie. Thanks to the open-mindedness and leadership of Burger King millions of consumers will be able to try our next generation of plant-based bacon."

Simon Lawrence, from Violife Professional commented: “Whether flexitarian or vegan, we’re delighted that people looking for plant-based options will now be able to enjoy a melting slice of Violife’s plant-based cheese alternative when visiting their local Burger King.

Dawn Carr, from PETA commented: "PETA is delighted to support Burger King in the launch of its sensational new Vegan Royale Bakon King burger as part of the Bakon King range.”
