One of the biggest areas of innovation in the fast food industry is the development of plant-based options. And no launch has been more anticipated than the McDonald's vegan burger. The McPlant has been three years in the making and after trials in Canada in 2020, it was released in select UK restaurants from the end of September 2021, with a view to a nationwide rollout in 2022. The burger features a plant-based patty co-developed with Beyond Meat, vegan cheese made with pea protein and vegan sauce, as well as fresh onion, pickles, lettuce and tomato.
