I live near Wolfsburg and the Volkswagen Currywurst is readily available in some supermarkets around here.
It's hands down the best Currywurst you can get.
And it is really being produced by Volkswagen - in contrast to their also kinda famous ketchup which is nowadays produces by develey and just branded VW.
Also the article is a bit imprecise on the part of swapping it for a vegan alternative in the headquarters: that was only one of several canteens in the headquarters (Volkswagen Markenhaus).
The imprecision is something what I start to call the foreign-correspondent-culture-war-pipeline: Something happens in a country. Because of misunderstandings it becomes a minor topic in public discussion for two days or so. A foreign correspondent starts to write about, because it touches on a culture war topic in their own country. But because any foreign journalism have limited space for context and culture the article has a slightly distorted and abbreviated view. Because a lot of people a monolinguists and of course have little time, that English article becomes the authoritative source for the Anglosphere.
I somewhat did like the VW Currywurst the one time I was in Wolfsburg/Autostadt. But it was different from home - the Ruhr area. Sometimes we forget that even something simple as the Currywurst has regional differences. And then there is Berlin.
