Burger King to launch 100% vegan burger for Veganuary in the UK
Burger King is launching a new vegan burger in the UK next week (11th January).
The new vegan burger comes a year after the chain released its plant-based Rebel Whopper, which was unsuitable for vegans because of it being cooked on the same grill as meat.
However, this time the US fast-food giant will sell a 100% vegan bean burger, which includes two signature veggie patties on a toasted sesame bun, topped with fresh-cut lettuce, juicy tomatoes, ketchup, and vegan mayo.
The burger is said to cost around £4.59 on its own, or £5.59 with a drink.
TheRebel Whopper
Last year, the chain launched a Rebel Whopper for Veganuary, angering many vegans because it was grilled on the same surface as the meat version.
It however said at the time that the burger was aimed at ‘flexitarians’.
Commenting on the plant-based Whopper, Toni Vernelli, international head of marketing at Veganuary, said: “For all of the important issues that Veganuary – and most vegans – are trying to address through their food choices it makes absolutely no difference whether the plant-based patty is cooked separately or on the same grill as the meat.
“What does make a big difference to animals and the planet is when non-vegans choose a plant-based menu option, enjoy it and then order it again.
“And that’s exactly who Burger King’s plant-based Whopper is aimed at, flexitarians who want to reduce their meat consumption for health or environmental reasons, or are considering going vegan.”
Veganuary launches
Burger King has joined a slew of retailers, restaurants, and fast-food chains that have launched new products for Veganaury this year.
Wagamama is moving ahead with a new vegan-themed menu for Veganuary amid its pledge to make 50% of its menu meat-free by the end of 2021.
The new menu offers plant-based versions of cult favourite dishes; Chilli Squid, sticky ribs, Firecracker Curry, and Grilled Duck Donburi, which the company hopes will entice even their ‘most set-in-their-ways meat-eating fans’.
Pret A Manger is adding nine new vegan items including breakfast items and wraps to its January menu, which will be launched at both Pret and Veggie Pret outlets nationwide.
Sandwich chain Subway has launched the vegan T.L.C. (Tastes Like Chicken) Sub and Vegan Double Choc Cookie, both of which are available to order in Subway stores just in time for Veganuary.

Announced the completion of its previously-announced non-brokered private placement of 20,909,091 units of the Company at a price of $0.55 per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of $11,500,000
The Offering included the exercise of the Company’s over-allotment option that increased the size of the Offering by an additional 15% from an originally anticipated size of $10,000,000
VANCOUVER, BC , Dec. 16, 2020 – PlantX Life Inc. (the ” Company ” or ” PlantX “) (CSE: VEGA ) (Frankfurt: WNT1) is pleased to announce the completion of its previously-announced non-brokered private placement (the ” Offering “) of 20,909,091 units of the Company (each a ” Unit “) at a price of $0.55 per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of $11,500,000 . The Offering included the exercise of the Company’s over-allotment option that increased the size of the Offering by an additional 15% from an originally anticipated size of $10,000,000 .
The Offering was co-led by Psagot Investment House Ltd. (” Psagot “), an Israeli investment firm and Israel’s largest pension fund manager, and PlantX founder, Mr. Sean Dollinger . Psagot purchased 2,725,000 Units for gross proceeds of $1,498,750 and Mr. Dollinger purchased 1,000,000 Units for gross proceeds of $550,000 in the Offering. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for business operations, expansion of its business and for general working capital purposes.
“We are beyond pleased with our closing and the support of Psagot,” said Sean Dollinger , PlantX founder. “This is just another sign that the plant-based industry is gaining traction around the globe and it’s only the beginning.”
Each Unit consisted of one (1) common share (a ” Common Share “) of the Company and one (1) Common Share purchase warrant (a ” Warrant “). Each Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one (1) Common Share at an exercise price of $0.75 per share until December 16, 2022 (the ” Warrant Expiry Date “). In the event that the trading price of the Common Shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange (or such other Canadian stock exchange on which the Common Shares are listed for trading) equals or exceeds $2.00 per Common Share for any period of 10 consecutive trading days, then the Company may, at its option, within 10 business days following such 10-day period, accelerate the Warrant Expiry Date by issuing a press release (a ” Warrant Acceleration Press Release “), and, in such case, the Warrant Expiry Date will be deemed to be 5:00 p.m. ( Vancouver time) on the 30th day following the issuance of the Warrant Acceleration Press Release (the ” Warrant Acceleration Option “).
Although the Offering was non-brokered, the Company compensated certain dealers (each, a ” Finder ” and collectively, the ” Finders “) that introduced subscribers to the Company by way of: (i) cash finders’ fee to each Finder equal to 7% of the aggregate gross proceeds of the subscribers introduced to the Company by such Finder (each a “Finder’s Fee ” and collectively, the ” Finders’ Fees “); and (ii) the issuance of non-transferable Common Share purchase warrants to each Finder equal to 7% of the aggregate Units of the subscribers introduced to the Company by such Finder (each a ” Finder’s Warrant ” and collectively, the ” Finders’ Warrants “). Each Finder’s Warrant entitles the Finder to acquire one (1) Common Share at an exercise price of $0.75 per share until the Warrant Expiry Date unless otherwise accelerated pursuant to the Warrant Acceleration Option. The Company paid a total of $430,495.65 in Finders’ Fees and issued an aggregate of 774,757 Finders’ Warrants to the Finders in connection with the Offering.
The securities issued in connection with the Offering, including the Finders’ Warrants, are subject to a four-month hold period ending on April 17, 2021 in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws.
Certain insiders of the Company participated in the Offering and purchased an aggregate of 190,910 Units. Participation of such insiders in the Offering constituted a “related party transaction” as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (” MI 61-101 “), but was exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101, as neither the fair market value of the securities issued to the insiders nor the consideration paid by the insiders exceeded 25% of the Company’s market capitalization. None of the Company’s directors expressed any contrary views or disagreements with respect to the foregoing. The Company did not file a material change report 21 days prior to the closing of the Offering as the details of the participation of the insider of the Company had not been confirmed at that time.

Veganuary Celebrates 1 Million Participant As Plant-Based Diet Goes Mainstream
Veganuary, the U.K.-based campaign encouraging people to eat vegan for the month of January, has just hit the 1 million supporter mark since its inception in 2014
The achievement is testament to the growing plant-based trend, especially in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, which has sent consumers all over the world looking for healthier, more sustainable and safer alternatives to animal foods.
Veganuary, the U.K.-based campaign encouraging people to eat vegan for the month of January, has just hit the 1 million supporter mark since its inception in 2014. The achievement is testament to the growing plant-based trend, especially in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, which has sent consumers all over the world looking for healthier, more sustainable and safer alternatives to animal foods.
Announced on Monday (October 26), Veganuary has welcomed its one millionth participant joining the movement to try veganism for 31 days. Since the campaign first began in 2014, it has attracted the support of big names, including television presenter Jasmine Harman, actor Peter Egan and renowned wildlife presenter Chris Packham.
Harman, who took part in the first-ever Veganuary six years ago, broadcasted a video message congratulating the charity on the milestone. “I feel very proud and very privileged to have been with Veganuary from the start and to be one of their ambassadors,” she said.
In its first year, Veganuary attracted just 3,300 supporters, but it quickly rose to fame as plant-based foods have come to garner greater spotlight in recent years as consumers begin to couple the environmental footprint and health impact of their food choices. The one million total includes the record-breaking 400,000 participants that joined the movement this year, a jump from the 250,000 figure in 2019, and 170,000 in 2018.
One million official Veganuary participants in just seven years is a huge achievement, but the momentum behind the plant-based revolution will see us hit two million in no time. Matthew Glover, Co-Founder & Chair of Veganuary
The real figure is likely to be much higher than one million, given that people around the world are believed to have taken part in the event without signing the official pledge online. A significant number have also continued their plant-based diet after the month of January. According to research conducted by data insights firm Kantar, the actual number of people who have participated without officially signing up is around ten times higher.
Commenting on the milestone, Matthew Glover, the co-founder and chair of the charity, said: “Now Veganuary is a bigger feature in the retail calendar than Christmas, reflecting the ever-increasing number of people choosing plant-based food.”
“One million official Veganuary participants in just seven years is a huge achievement, but the momentum behind the plant-based revolution will see us hit two million in no time.”
Signatories to the pledge have come from every single country in the world apart from North Korea, Vatican City and Eswatini. In 2020, the most growth in supporters was recorded in Latin America, followed by India – two major markets where plant-based foods have experienced a surge in demand.
All over the world, consumers have been shifting towards plant-based foods more than ever before, particularly in the wake of the pandemic, which has exposed the vulnerabilities and dangers of the animal meat supply chain. With the trend firmly in the mainstream, food giants have been scrambling to tap into the market – the latest research shows that almost 40% of the biggest food manufacturers and retailers in the world now have dedicated plant-based teams.
Plant-based meat makers have also celebrated a big win in Europe just last week, when EU leaders prevented a proposal that would ban plant-based alternatives from using “meaty” terms like sausages or burgers on their labels.
