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

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

This doesn't say "vegan" burgers, it says meatless. It doesn't sound like this incorrect, is it?

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.

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

Are vegetarians the target for this? I wouldn't have thought you'd find too many of them in Burger King. I'm not a vegetarian, and do like a burger occasionally. On those rare occasions (usually on long journeys) when I do go to Burger King, if there's a good tasting beef alternative that's easier on the environment than beef, why not.

It's still vegetarian, just maybe not vegan.

I don't see how this follows. An "animal product" is not the same thing as "meat." Meat is just one type of animal product to which people commonly have special objections. That is why the burger is accurately described as "meatless" and not "vegan."
