Burger King is launching its first ever range of vegan nuggets.
Made from soy and plant protein, the nuggets have been years in development and are officially certified by the Vegan Society.
They will be available nationwide from tomorrow, in time for the start of Veganuary - where those toying with adopting a plant-based diet will be giving it a whirl for the first month of 2022.

The burger chain - originally best known for its ‘flame-grilled’ meat patties - is already forging ahead with its vegan offering.
It introduced its plant-based Whopper in January, 2020, and then its faux-chicken Vegan Royale in April, 2021.
“We are thrilled to be launching the new Vegan Nuggets to our UK restaurants tomorrow,” a Burger King spokesman said.
“After years of development, it’s great to be able to say we are the first fast-food restaurant to bring such a product to our customers, which delivers the same tasting experience as its meat counterpart.”
Prior to its vegan range, the chain was known for its popular Spicy Bean Burger, introduced before many fast food outlets began catering for vegetarian diets.
The new vegan nuggets come in six, nine or 20 piece boxes, and come with a sweet chili dip also certified by the Vegan Society.
