Veggie patty vs plant-based patty: what’s the difference?
This is the most important thing to understand before you order, because the two patties are completely different.
Veggie Whopper (vegetable patty)
- Made from vegetables, which make up 58% of the patty: carrot, peas, corn, potato and capsicum.
- It looks and tastes like vegetables, a bit like a crumbed vegetable patty.
- Lower in protein (17.6 g in the Veggie Whopper Cheese) and higher in carbs.
- Best for people who don’t want something that tastes like meat.
Plant Based Whopper (plant-protein patty)
- Made from plant protein (19.3%), vegetable oils and thickeners.
- Flame-grilled to taste like the classic beef Whopper.
- Higher in protein, from 24.6 g up to 30.4 g.
- Best for people who want the Whopper taste without the beef.
The Plant Based Whopper used to be called the Rebel Whopper.
Are Hungry Jack’s veggie burgers vegetarian?
Yes. None of the six burgers contain meat. They’re all on Hungry Jack’s Veggie Range menu.
Are they cooked separately from meat? Hungry Jack’s doesn’t say whether the patties are cooked on the same grill or broiler as beef. The Plant Based Whopper is flame-grilled like the regular Whopper. If you’re a strict vegetarian, ask your local store how they prepare it.
Are Hungry Jack’s veggie burgers vegan?
No, not as served. Hungry Jack’s labels every burger in the range “not suitable for vegans”:
- All six contain mayo, which has egg.
- Five of the six contain dairy cheese. The Plant Based Whopper without cheese is the exception.
Closest to vegan: a Plant Based Whopper with no mayo. Hungry Jack’s still doesn’t certify it as vegan, though, because of shared cooking equipment and other ingredients.
