About World Plant-Based Burger Day

World Plant-Based Burger Day is a creator-led food observance held on October 10.

VeganBurg launched the day on October 10, 2020 as part of its tenth-anniversary celebration, giving this observance unusually clear creator and inaugural-date provenance.

Why World Plant-Based Burger Day matters

The observance promotes plant-based burgers as a food category and originated as a VeganBurg campaign rather than a government or intergovernmental holiday.

People can participate by trying or making a plant-based burger while treating nutrition, environmental and product-performance claims as separate questions that depend on ingredients, evidence and individual needs.

History of World Plant-Based Burger Day

VeganBurg announced World Plant-Based Burger Day on October 10, 2020 while celebrating the company’s tenth anniversary.

The creator described the launch as an annual day intended to support its broader plant-based-burger mission.

The reviewed evidence does not establish one exclusive current global facilitator in 2026, so later stewardship is left unresolved.
