*Since product availability and ingredients may vary by location, always check with a store to make sure that it’s vegan-friendly.

Panda Express follows other fast-food chains that have expanded or introduced delicious vegan options. Panda Express has picked up on what so many already know: Being vegan is on the rise with no signs of slowing down.

Help get vegan options at McDonald’s, KFC, Domino’s, and elsewhere by taking action. Each time you click “Take Action,” another company will receive a message urging it to offer vegan meals. How cool and convenient is that?

Sure, fast food may not be for everyone, but we’re all for any option that allows on-the-go consumers to eat vegan and prevent sensitive animals from being caged in their own filth, tormented, and subjected to a terrifying death when their throats are slit while they’re still conscious. Hungry patrons want fast, compassionate options, and savvy food companies will either offer them or be left behind.

Note: PETA promotes being a healthy vegan. If you choose to eat fast food, we suggest options that are kinder to animals. As is common at many restaurants offering vegan options, Panda Express uses shared equipment and therefore cross contamination can occur. But remember, helping animals is not about personal purity!
