Burger King's Plant-Based Whopper Is Now in the Philippines

Yup, you read it right: The revolutionary plant-based burger—one of Burger King's most talked about product launches in recent memory—is making its way to the Philippines, and it most certainly tastes like beef!

After making its debut in the U.S. market in 2019, Burger King’s first entry into the plant-based segment became such a hit that other markets eventually adopted it too. This November, Burger King Philippines will be joining the plant-based movement with the launch of the Plant-Based Whopper.

100% Flame-grilled, 0% beef

Burger King Philippines is changing the game with its new Plant-Based Whopper—a Whopper that’s made from plants, but tastes just like beef. The plant-based patty was made through a partnership with Australia’s number one plant-based company V2Food.

The Plant-Based Whopper's patty is mainly made with soy proteins, but it tastes just like the Whopper you've come to know, in all its smoky, flame-grilled glory. V2Foods successfully identified the flavor precursors of meat and then derived it from plant-based sources instead, so you can expect the Plant-Based Whopper patty to look, cook, and taste like Burger King’s signature Whopper patty.

And because the Plant-Based Whopper tastes just like Burger King’s signature flame-grilled beef burgers, you don't have to worry about consuming less of the good stuff that make up a burger.

“What we are offering our customers is an option," says Allan Tan, Marketing Director for Burger King Philippines. "Filipinos are such huge meat-eaters, and the insight for this local roll-out is to provide them with an affordable alternative, to reduce meat intake with an equally satisfying product. We’ve seen more developed markets making the shift earlier on, and locally, we see the Plant-Based Whopper as a game-changer, a revolutionary product. We wanted to be at the forefront of that shift here."
