McPlant Is Coming To McDonalds

It’s been revealed that the fast-food chain McDonald’s will be launching the McPlant in 2021.

There’s currently a vegan option at restaurants in Germany, but right now there aren’t any vegan options on the menu in the United States. The fast-food chain teamed up with Beyond Meat to test a meat-free burger in Canada earlier this year, but did not confirm they would be the supplier of this patty.

BUSINESS INSIDER:

“McPlant is crafted exclusively for McDonald’s, by McDonald’s,” Ian Borden, the president of the company’s international business, said in a presentation for investors on Monday

Neither Beyond Meat nor McDonald’s immediately responded to Business Insider’s request to clarify if there is an ongoing partnership between the two companies.

Before the menu announcement, a petition for McDonald’s to add vegan options on their menu has been the largest petition of its kind on Change.org with over 230,000 signatures and growing.
