The Impossible Whopper is a veggie burger sold by Burger King. It is a variant of the Whopper, with a burger patty made from a meat alternative provided by Impossible Foods.[4] First introduced in the United States in 2019,[5][6] it was made available in Canada in 2021.[7][8]

By default, the Impossible Whopper is topped with tomatoes, lettuce, mayonnaise, ketchup, pickles, and onions; customers can ask for toppings to be added or removed. It can be ordered with cheese.[9] It is typically cooked on the same grill as meat patties, though customers can request for it to be cooked separately.[10][11][12]

Customers' opinions vary on how closely the Impossible Whopper resembles the beef Whopper.[13][14] Reviewers have praised the burger's environmental benefits compared to the beef Whopper.[15][16]
