The VW currywurst is popular and is a regular part of the plate for many employees: But the classic will soon disappear from the menu in the canteen in the Wolfsburg branded high-rise.
According to an internal announcement, the company restaurant should be meat-free after the work holiday.
The 150 or so recipes should then do without meat.
Only now and then will fish be part of the offer.
Many employees wanted vegetarian and vegan alternatives, according to the reasoning in the information letter.
The realignment also serves the topic of sustainability, because less meat consumption per week also helps the environment.
The responsible Service Factory has already successfully implemented the concept at the Hanover location.
Seven million curry sausages from our own butcher shop
Nobody at VW has to do without the sausage.
They will still be there in the canteen a few meters away on the opposite side of the street.
Most recently there were around seven million curry sausages from the Volkswagen butcher's shop in the pre-Corona year 2019, plus more than 550 tons of ketchup, as a spokesman said.
However, many company restaurants at the car manufacturer are currently still closed.
With the switch to vegetarian and vegan cuisine, VW is relying on a trend that has been around for several years, according to the German Hotel and Restaurant Association (Dehoga). "The days when vegetarian cuisine was neglected by some are over for good," said a Dehoga spokesman.
