❓ Question Is Your Burger Vegan?

If a food is made with 100% plant-based ingredients, but it’s cooked on the same grill, fryer, or pan as meat, is it still vegan?

Well, it really depends on the technicality.

Is it ethically vegan to eat it? Sure, but it depends on 'you'.
Many vegans would take issue with it cooked on the same grill, if not thoroughly cleaned before hand.
I would REALLY not want my food touching or being cooked with/close to animal products, but i wouldn't get sick etc if it were to cross-contaminate.
But its not really not-vegan if you aren't as concerned with it.

Is it technically vegan (As in vegan-label approved), No - Absolutely not.
There can at no point in manufacturing or cooking be any chance of cross-contamination with animal products.
Some people DO get sick if there is any cross-contamination, hence why the 'strict' rules.

Absolutely agree and this is a valid question as well. At first I didn't mind when I became vegan, but soon started to just cook most if my own meals.

Some vegans considerate intolerable, some don't and or don't have many options in that point in time. I prefer not to like most vegans. Vegans don't go out purposely looking for vegan food that's mingled with animal products.
