'Beyond Chicken' connoisseurs should read the fine print before recommending the nuggets to their veggie friends.

, seeing it as a trade-off in shifting the general public's preferences towards more sustainable foods.

So as per the basic definition, the entirely plant-sourced proteins making up the nuggets are indeed vegan- and vegetarian-friendly. But, as the company notes itself on its"It is NOT vegetarian, vegan, or Certified Vegan. It is 100% plant-based, but they are prepared in the same fryers as our world-famous Kentucky Fried Chicken, which may not be acceptable to certain types of vegetarian or vegan diets," the KFC website states.

KFC does indeed offer truly vegan-friendly options, including its Quorn-based Vegan Burger. Some have even called for KFC to start preparing the nuggets in separate vegan-friendly cooking areas so that such products can be relabelled as vegan-friendly. The nuggets may well be suitable for some vegetarians, or for those"enjoying a vegetarian and flexitarian lifestyle," as the company's announcement puts it. But for now, with the same facilities used for cooking animal and plant-based products, that is not the case.While the new"Beyond Chicken" nuggets are indeed entirely meat-free, they are not certified as vegetarian or vegan friendly because of how they are prepared, according to the KFC website.
