Burger King's new chicken sandwich "Ch'King" is seen on display in New York, NY, U.S. May 19, 2021. "Even tomatoes need a vacation ... we are unable to add tomatoes to our food," read notices pasted at two Burger King India outlets. The burger chain, one of India's biggest with nearly 400 outlets, joins many McDonald's and Subway stores that have removed tomatoes from menus as India's food inflation this week hit its highest since January 2020. reads a question on the support page of Burger King India's web site. Restaurant Brands Asia (RESR.NS), which operates Burger King in India, did not respond to requests for comment.
