KFC Vegan Imposter Burger

Imposter Burger:

KFC are entering the meat-free vegan market with a new trial of the Imposter Burger.

PRESS RELEASE:

This is not a drill. It’s happening. The chicken gurus at KFC are trialling a vegan burger.

Yep… you read that right. For too long, vegans have been denied the epic taste of KFC’s iconic Original Recipe. But no more. The winds of change have whistled through the Colonel’s kitchen. A bold new era is upon us. The Imposter burger is born.

What is this daring new creation? The Imposter burger is a triumph of deception, delivering on the taste, crunch and succulence KFC is renowned for.

KFC’s customary real chicken breast fillet is instead replaced with a bespoke Quorn fillet, coated in the Colonel’s Original Recipe herbs and spices.

Fresh iceberg lettuce and creamy vegan mayo complete the meat-free masterpiece, which is all housed in a soft glazed bun.

The burger is being trialled from 17th June for four weeks. So whether you’re vegan, veggie, flexitarian or just an intrigued chicken fan, it’s time to try the Imposter. Head to London, Bristol or The Midlands to get your hands on one.

A new vegetarian creation is also being trialled from 15th July in the same locations. The Southern Fritter Stacker will be available as a burger, as well as a wrap and ricebox.

Victoria Robertson, Chief Vegetable Enthusiast at KFC UK & Ireland commented: “We know… it’s unfair. Vegans have been cruelly denied the incredible taste of KFC up to now, which is why we’ve worked hard to perfect The Imposter – a vegan burger that the Colonel would be proud of.”

Tony Davison, Head of Global Foodservice & QSR at Quorn commented: “A vegan KFC? We couldn’t believe it either. But we’ve done it – working with KFC we’ve created a bespoke Quorn fillet that does the Colonel’s recipe justice. We have no doubt that KFC fans are going to love the modern take on a finger lickin’ favourite.”

Dawn Carr, Director of Vegan Corporate Projects at PETA added: “We’ve been so excited to hear about this and play a part in KFC’s journey to reaching this game-changing new vegan range. We’re confident it will be a huge hit with the skyrocketing numbers of vegans, vegetarians, and flexitarians around the UK. Clucking marvellous!”
