Its kinda misleading, there's still animal products in this because of how the food is prepared...
Indeed, unless Burger King is using a completely separate grill for the vegetable burgers, some vegetarians/vegans are going to be upset that their vegetable patty was prepared where meat was and possibly exposed to meat, and there could be kosher/halal issues.

Of course I see why some would complain, and it is important that there are always people pushing for progress. But lets not pretend that _this_ isn't progress.

Can you be more specific? Are you referring to cheese? Do they cook the burger in animal fat?

As long as it's described as "meatless" and not "vegan", it's not misleading. It's still vegetarian.

A Whopper contains mayonnaise, which is made from egg yolk. I assume that's what bifrost meant by "animal products".

I think that the Impossible Burger originally achieved its taste by using heme protein isolated from cow blood, but it looks like that's now done by expressing and purifying soy leghemoglobin in a yeast expression system, so I'm not sure what bifrost is referring to.
When I became vegetarian I thought about this a lot but came to the conclusion that if I ever wanted to go out with friends that it's something I'll have to accept. You'd be surprised at the number of places that use chicken broth in otherwise vegetarian fare as well. It's a compromise, but one I'm willing to accept; some people are not.
