Harvey’s says the burger is vegan, but is cooked on a grill where meat is cooked, but they try to segregate the items. Harvey’s states that, “Unlike traditional beef burgers, pink colour inside plant based burgers does not indicate that it is raw. This colour in Lightlife burger comes from the Beet powder ingredient.”
