The customer who came to the chain's branch in the mall in Hod Hasharon expected to receive the "kosher cheeseburger" with the vegan cheese that the chain markets at the branch that was presented as kosher.

An application for approval of a class action lawsuit against Burger King was filed last Thursday in the Tel Aviv District Court, after a religious man ate a cheeseburger at a branch that was presented as kosher - and later discovered that the cheese was from cow's milk.
In recent months Burger King has launched a campaign for kosher substitutes, such as burgers with "bacon" that is not made from pork but from India as well as a "cheeseburger" that includes a vegan cheddar "cheese".
That is: a religious person can eat a "cheeseburger" with "bacon" without violating the kosher laws of the Jewish religion.
At the beginning of the month, the plaintiff arrived at the chain's branch in the Azrieli Hod Hasharon mall, outside of which there is a Burger King sign that reads "kosher," and the plaintiff assumed that the branch was kosher.
According to the motion for approval of a class action lawsuit, filed by attorney Amit Ben Aroya, after the plaintiff bit into a hamburger - which was what he thought was a vegan cheese - he wondered about the quality of the cheese imitation, and asked at the counter how to produce a taste so similar to regular cheese. To him that this is indeed ordinary cheese.

"The applicant, a religious man, was shocked. It was further made clear to him that the branch was kosher - but no longer kosher. , Was written in the statement of claim.
The plaintiff further emphasized that "because the violation of autonomy is not reserved only for the kosher public, but every person has the right to know what the foods he puts into his body and no one is allowed to mislead the consumer public about the components in his products. The more you are on the part of the kosher observant public. "
The Burger King chain stated in response that "the class application has not yet reached the company, and when it arrives we will study it and respond accordingly. Delek as the new controlling owner of Burger King adheres to all rules and training rules in kosher branches in particular, as does Burger King. ".
