This Major Fast-Food Chain Is Being Sued For Its Burgers — Eat This Not That
It’s no secret that fast-food burgers are not the healthiest option out there. But now, one major fast-food chain is being sued for its burgers. According to CNN, Burger King is being sued for allegedly using “filler” in its burgers. The lawsuit claims that the fast-food chain is using “soy, wheat, and other fillers” in its burgers, which is not disclosed on the menu.
The lawsuit was filed by a customer in Florida who claims that the fast-food chain is misleading customers by not disclosing the use of fillers in its burgers. The customer is seeking class-action status for the lawsuit, which would allow other customers to join in the suit.
Burger King has denied the allegations, saying that its burgers are made with 100% beef. The company also said that it is “confident that these allegations are false and that the quality and integrity of our products are not in question.”
While the lawsuit is ongoing, it’s a good reminder to be mindful of what you’re eating. If you’re looking for a healthier burger option, there are plenty of alternatives out there. Try making your own burgers at home with lean ground beef, or opt for a veggie burger. You can also look for fast-food restaurants that offer healthier options, such as turkey burgers or veggie burgers.
No matter what you choose, it’s important to be aware of what you’re eating and make sure you’re getting the nutrition you need. Eating fast-food burgers can be a part of a healthy diet, but it’s important to be mindful of what you’re eating and make sure you’re getting the nutrition you need.
Burger King is being accused of consumer fraud in a new lawsuit that claims the chain uses false advertising to lure in hungry customers. The misrepresented goods in question? Just about every major burger and sandwich on the current Burger King menu.
The class-action lawsuit was filed last week in the U.S. District Court in Southern Florida and accuses the chain of “overstating” the portion sizes of a number of its popular sandwiches—including the Whopper and King lines, the Croissan’Wich, and the Double Sausage Sandwich, among others. The suit was filed by a group of four plaintiffs from Florida and New York.

Accusing Burger King of “false and misleading advertising,” plaintiffs even provide an estimate of the exact difference in size between the chain’s actual burgers and its burgers-as-marketed: 35%. Since at least September 2017, Burger King has misled customers with advertisements for burgers that appear to “overflow over the bun,” the suit alleges. It goes on to estimate that the burgers depicted in the fast-food giant’s promotional ads are 35% bigger than the real thing, and contain “more than double the meat.”
Based on Burger King’s “overstated menu items,” the plaintiffs are suing the burger chain for “breach of contract, negligent representation, and unjust enrichment.” In addition to damages, the plaintiffs are seeking a court order for Burger King to stop misrepresenting the size of its burgers and sandwiches.
The suit has not yet been granted class-action status, but it seeks to represent anyone who believes they were misled by Burger King’s advertising since September 2017. At least 100 plaintiffs have already joined in.
Burger King has not yet released a statement about the lawsuit, with a company spokesperson telling FOX Business that Burger King “does not comment on pending or potential litigations.” The chain faced another class-action lawsuit over a burger in 2019 when it was taken to court for misleading customers about its Impossible Whopper.
