Has anyone (vegan) contacted Burger King and others to ascertain whether or not the

vege burgers are cooked where no beef is cooked and that there's no crossing of utensils? I have emailed BK directly but have received no response. It is important info for me cuz I'm allergic to beef. If you've contacted them and received a response could you please post the information? Thanks,

There's no way they will set aside an entire frying-station or an entire conveyor-belt grill just for ONE TYPE OF BURGER that somebody MIGHT order once in a while.

button on register for a no meat cross contamination method of cooking the Impossible Whopper. The cashier is supposed to give you the option/verify that you are/aren't a vegan while placing the order.
It's funny that I came across this post, this conversation just came up with my neighbor yesterday.

aren't as strict about the button for every customer. So I personally would ask if I were a strict vegan.

We live here, so even if it's just a small thing, we can make things even a little bit better.
