Hot take, but cross contamination or wherever for a lifestyle choice shouldn’t be a big issue. If you aren’t allergic, and you are doing everything in your reasonable power to avoid the components of your choosing, then it’s good enough! We’re all just humans doing our best, so go get your french fries homie!! 🙌🏻

My husband says he is “vegetarian enough”. If he cooks for himself, that’s one thing. If they order pizza at work, he will pick off the pepperoni. Life is short.

Plus Burger King goes out of their way to continue offering vegan burgers as everyone else gets rid of them. Support Burger King.

if you aren’t vegan due to medical reasons, cross contamination shouldn’t concern you

As someone who works at Burger King, our fries are made in their own fryers the only other thing that goes in those fryers are the breakfast hash browns

Harm reduction = harm reduction. Unless you're allergic I wouldn't worry about cross contamination.

Burger King was one of the first burger joints that offered veggie burgers in the early 2000’s

It’s not an allergy a buying them doesn’t contribute to the meat industry so wouldn’t bother me

Cross contamination makes zero difference unless you're actually allergic or have a condition that gets affected

Cross contamination isn’t a vegan issue anyway. It’s relevant for allergies of course but it doesn’t make something non-vegan, it’s just a matter of preference

Fun fact: a lot of Burger King’s would have the smallest amount of cross contact for the fries. At least when I worked there for 5 years all fries and onion rings were cooked in seperate fryers than the meat. The only cross contact i can think of was the oil all goes through the same filter machine at the end of the night when getting cleaned.

I feel like cross contamination is really only serious if bc of health reasons 😭others wise you’re still not eating meat or meat product and god forbid there’s a whisper of chicken air on your fries

former assistant manager at bk, the fries are cooked in a separate fry vat. so no contamination should be present! at least the store i worked at, they were only cooked in that one specific fryer!

I’ve been vegetarian for 25 years. I used to be super militant in the early years. Now I am still careful but don’t drive myself crazy wondering about ‘what ifs’. I do my best 👌

Ida 🎧☆ :
I honestly don't care about cross contamination. I'm not allergic so my food being made in the same pan or anything is okay for me. I'm not actively eating it just because there was smt else before/after my food on it. I do make sure that there's not meat juice or anything before i put my stuff somewhere tho.

Oh no. I love this video. Do you remember when Burger King had the curly fries? They were only out for a short time and I remember them as a teenager and they were the best.

Letting go of the purist mindset and embracing a harm reduction mindset with vegetarianism / veganism changed my life for the better !!

When I was vegetarian i did not gaf about the contamination. BK’s impossible whopper was a staple in my diet

Huda😋 :
As someone who works in Burger King i don’t see how the fries would be cross contamination as it’s fried in separate oil😅

The Boss :
May include or cross contamination is a non issue; it's vegan because it isn't using animal products directly or leading to more demand for said animal products.

lindseyyy :
I mean the fries and hash browns are the only thing cooked in that fryer. Chicken and fish have their own. Even the onion rings don’t go in the fry fryer

Not A. Fan :
Schmeagan - order it vegan but if some one mucks up and puts mayo on it or it’s grilled on the same flat top I’m not bothering anyone about it.
