They take off the king.
While fast food addicts may consider it high treason, a healthcare whistleblower has exposed Burger King for allegedly pumping its most popular menu items, including the Whopper, full of “toxic” and “banned” ingredients, some of which are found in Silly Putty.
Representatives for Burger King did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.
“Burger King has hidden the ingredients in their food for years, but we finally know what’s in it — these are crazy guys,” Paul Saladino, MD, a double-certified MD, announced to friends. More than 3 million fans on Instagram.

The viral food battle has challenged industry heavyweights, including Tom Curtis, president of Burger King in the US and Canada, to hide their restaurant’s tastiest meat dishes for the sake of social media clout. However, the competition between the major companies ended quietly with no clear winner crowned the best.
Unfortunately, Wendy’s was named the No. 1 “least healthy” fast food chain by The World Atlas in 2025, beating out Taco Bell — which was recently named the culprit in a Cyclospora outbreak — Mickey D’s and Chick-fil-A. Burger King wasn’t even on the top 10 list.

“And three different types of sauces, one of which contains more than 25 different ingredients,” he added. “Guys, Burger King might be the worst fast food restaurant I’ve ever seen.”
Sick Saladino viewers agreed.
“Look at the endless list of ingredients. If this isn’t a lab experiment, what is?” said one angry commenter.
“King Killer,” another sage said.
“If they don’t care about my health. I don’t care about their profits,” one angry onlooker spat, vowing in part to stop patronizing Burger King, McDonald’s, Wendy’s and Jack in the Box. “Girl, bye!”
