Mexican’s report getting Montezuma's Revenge North of the Border after eating Burger King's Impossible Whopper Burger
San Diego, California (Issuewire.com) - Burger King Corporation has been notified that it will be sued by a Tijuana resident who had eaten at a San Diego Burger King restaurant for deceptively marketing its Impossible Whopper burger. The so-called “vegetarian burger” is made by Impossible Foods Inc., with a unique chemical; methylcellulose, a tasteless powder widely used as a laxative, and is listed on the ingredient labels of plant-based meat products made by both Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods. A recent post by the Mayo Clinic said there is no evidence that using fiber supplements like methylcellulose is harmful. However, some individuals less tolerant to methylcellulose find it can cause diarrhea, stomach cramps, and other unappetizing symptoms.
Methylcellulose is a bulk-forming laxative that increases the amount of water in your stools to help make them softer and easier to pass. Methylcellulose is used to treat constipation and to help maintain regular bowel movements. Methyl cellulose is a (1->4)-beta-D-glucan compound formed by methylating cellulose through exposure to SODIUM HYDROXIDE (Soda lye) NaOH/CH3Cl. It derives from a (1->4)-beta-D-glucan. So, what are we exactly eating in Burger King's Impossible Whopper? Well it's basically toilet paper soaked in Drano that holds the burger together, methylcellulose is the replacement for collagen, the fibrous protein found in hamburgers. “Eat trees not beef” could be the new slogan for their laxative laced veggie burger. That's right: There's wood pulp in your vegetarian burger. Scandalous, huh? Well, not really. Not only is methylcellulose a safe, FDA-approved food additive and laxative, but it may make Burger King's Impossible Whopper, the burger of choice for those who suffer from chronic constipation.
In addition a Burger King customer who is a devout vegetarian was suing the company for selling him an Impossible Whopper that was “contaminated” by meat by-products, according to claims in the class action lawsuit. Burger King Corporation filed a motion to dismiss the class action alleging that the fast food chain tricks customers into thinking that their burger is completely vegan, when it is cooked on the same grill as regular hamburgers. A federal judge dismissed the frivolous lawsuit.
