Judge Dismisses Burger King Impossible Whopper Lawsuit

On Monday, a Florida judge dismissed a class action lawsuit brought by a group of vegan and vegetarian customers against Burger King who said that the fast-food chain, known for its Whopper burger sandwich, misled patrons about how it cooked its plant-based patties.

U.S. District Judge Raag Singhal said that the burger chain, owned by parent company Restaurant Brands International (NYSE: QSR), did not mislead customers about cooking methods, and that it did not imply in advertisements that it cooked plant-based patties on a separate grill than traditional meat. He also asserted that the plantiffs did not inquire about the restaurant's cooking methods or ask for an alternative, and that he did not believe patrons were duped into paying higher prices based on the cooking methods. "Burger King promised a non-meat patty and delivered," he said.
