Fast-food giant McDonaldâs has today debuted its first-ever plant-based burger, featuring Beyond Meat, at an exclusive tasting event.
This is ahead of its trial release at the end of this month in the UK and Ireland.
McDonaldâs debut new McPlant burger
Co-developed with vegan meat giant Beyond Meat, the launch will add to the McPlant range.
Moreover, the plant-based burger features a vegan sesame bun, ketchup, mustard, and vegan sauce. It also includes onion, pickles, lettuce, tomato, and âbespokeâ vegan cheese.
McDonaldâs confirmed it will be cooked separately from other offerings with âdedicatedâ utensils. And the company is confident it will appeal to all customers.
It is set for release in 10 select restaurants in Coventry from September 29. And, in more than 250 sites from October 13. This is with a view to rolling it out across the nation next year.
Plus, itâll be available at the same cost as a Big Mac for ÂŁ3.19

Plant Based News Co-founder Robbie Lockie was at the tasting event and tried the burger first hand.
They said it was âabsolutely deliciousâ. And, that it âtasted exactly like a traditional Big Mac burger in all the ways that most people are used to expectingâ.
Additionally, the companyâs Chief Marketing Officer Michelle Graham-Clare said theyâre pleased to âfinallyâ release the McPlant burger.
In a statement sent to PBN, Graham-Clare added: âAs with every McDonaldâs offering, we take our time to ensure it meets the highest standards and is something that all our customers will enjoy.
âWe are always looking for different ways to innovate and meet our customersâ needs, and with McPlant we have a delicious plant-based burger that will appeal to everyone.
âWhether youâre vegan or just fancy a plant-based patty, weâre confident you will enjoy the McPlant.â
