                                According to numerous reports and copycat recipes, Popeyes' signature red beans and rice dish is cooked with animal fat, making it non-vegan. The inclusion of pork fat or bacon grease is a key ingredient for its distinctive flavor, meaning this popular side is off-limits for those following a plant-based diet.
