Burger King Colombia has partnered with Chilean plant-based company NotCo to offer flexitarians the Veggie Whopper, King Veggie, and Nuggets Veggie.
The deal helps expand the plant-based movement across Latin America.
Using the slogan “We declare ourselves Flexitarians!”, Burger King is promoting the new options as 100 percent plant-based, although it’s yet unspecified if the bread and sauces are vegan.
Meanwhile, in announcing the new veggie line from Burger King on social media, NotCo insists that “more and more people believe that removing animals from the equation is the answer for a more sustainable yet equally delicious world.”
NotCo has partnered with Burger King Chile to launch plant-based chicken sandwiches and nuggets, with BK Peru to bring its plant-based burger patties to the country, and with Starbucks Mexico in introducing its plant-based NotChicken Baguette and NotBurger Baguette.
