KFC launches the first "fried" vegan burger burger in its history
- KFC created a vegan version of their famous fried chicken burger.
- The "Burger Impostor" Quorn is made from a meat substitute, and bears the same spices of the original recipe and vegetarian mayonnaise and salad in soft bread.
- Currently it is tested in some branches of the UK chain and the test will take four weeks.
- The launch takes place after the arrival of meat-based alternatives to fast-food chains known as Burger King and IKEA.
KFC decided to enter the vegan car and therefore launched its first "chicken" vegetarian burger.
Vegan version of the original hamburger Recipe roasted chicken chain, which they called the Burger impostor, will be made with a quorn of "as being" with the same spices in the original Recipe chain.

The steak will be accompanied by iceberg lettuce and a vegan mayonnaise, sandwiched in a soft cloth, glaze.
A spokesman for KFC confirmed to INSIDER that Burger Imposter Burger has 450 calories, basically the same as the real (real) chicken, which has about 475 calories.
- The vegan burger will have the same spices as its meat equivalent.

Hamburger will also contain protein of 18.8 grams. It's less than 29.7 grams of chicken equivalent, but it's also a decent amount for a vegetarian burger.
Hamburger is the world's first fast-food chain in the US and will currently only be available in selected locations by KFC in the UK for a four-week study.
Impostor will cost 2.99 pounds (3.36 euros) or 3.49 pounds (3.93 euros), with a beverage in the form of foil and a drink will cost 3.99 pounds (4.49 euros) and Ca salad with a drink will cost 3.79 pounds ($ 4.26).
It will be available from June 17 at the following KFC locations in Bristol, London and Midlands:

The launch comes shortly after other fast-food chains have implemented vegan alternatives: Burger King now has Whopper Impossible, Greggs launched a vegetarian foil (or roll) and IKEA sausages work on a vegetable version of his legendary buns.
And the trend towards meat alternatives created in the laboratory does not show signs of slowing. In fact, a recent report said that by 2040, 60% of the "meat" we eat will not come from animals.
