According to the creator of Spongebob Squarepants, Steve Hillenburg, Krabby Patties do not contain meat.
After speaking to Spongebob producer, Vincent Waller, CinemaBlend reported in 2017 that he said: “The one thing I can tell you that Steve Hillenburg has let slip is there is absolutely no meat in the Krabby Patty. There is no animal product in there.”
