What is KFC’s Beyond chicken made of?
The outlet states that their Beyond Chicken is made up of soy and wheat. It notes: “The same Finger Lickin’ signature flavour you know and love, now made with soy and wheat. It is the first plant-based chicken substitute to be served at a chicken chain.”
While the recipe is vegan, the oil used to make the product is the same as the one used to make chicken. The company’s website notes: “Our Plant-Based KFC recipe is 100% animal-free. However, it may be cooked in the same oil as our Chicken. Our specialty is Kentucky Fried Chicken after all! We’ll let you decide if that’s suitable for you.”
Why did KFC introduce plant-based products?
KFC decided to introduce plant-based products for everyone to enjoy the taste it has to offer. The company notes: “We believe everyone should be able to enjoy the Finger-Lickin’ Good taste of KFC. Everyone. Including those who don’t eat chicken, are thinking about not eating chicken, or don’t feel like eating chicken right now but might later. Plant-Based KFC is for you.”
The company further assures people that their product tastes exactly like their other meat items as they note: “Plant-Based KFC is breaded in our exclusive KFC recipe — giving you all of that Finger-Lickin’ Good flavour with none of the chicken.”
