Chilean food tech company NotCo has partnered with Melt Pizzas, a popular Chilean restaurant chain, to develop two plant-based pizzas.

La Vie Partners With Burger King France For Veggie Cheese and Bacon Burger

Burger King France has launched a new meat-free burger, the Veggie Cheese and Bacon, featuring vegan bacon made by French company La Vie. It comes a month after the fast-food chain added La Vie’s bacon to its Veggie Steakhouse burger, following a sustained campaign by the plant-based brand via social media, newspaper ads, and other channels. The menu item now permanently contains La Vie’s vegan bacon, which was also featured on the menu at Burger King’s plant-based popup location in London to huge success. While La Vie’s bacon is entirely plant-based, the new Veggie Cheese and Bacon burger contains dairy cheese, making it unfortunately unsuitable for vegans. Potentially it could be ordered without the cheese to make it vegan friendly. Rapid growth After announcing multiple …

La Vie Urges Burger King France to Add Vegan Bacon to Veggie Steakhouse Burger

La Vie has launched a campaign asking Burger King France to add plant-based bacon to its Veggie Steakhouse burger, after discovering that the conventional Steakhouse contains bacon while the plant-based version does not.

When this did not receive a response, the company launched a petition, which quickly gained hundreds of signatures. Next, La Vie took out a full-page advertisement in the daily newspaper Le Parisien. The ad shows an image of a tweet sent to Burger King by a customer, saying “Sorry guys, I’m waiting for the Veggie Steakhouse with La Vie bacon”.
