Today, McDonald’s announced the anticipated launch of its first meatless offering under its new McPlant platform. The McPlant burger is now available at test locations in Sweden (Linköping and Helsingborg) until March 15 and in select Denmark locations until April 12, with the aim of rolling out the meatless burger to McDonald’s locations in other markets. The McPlant burger is made with a plant-based patty developed exclusively for McDonald’s from pea and rice protein,
Bloomberg reports. The McPlant comes topped with lettuce, tomato, pickles, onions, mustard, ketchup, egg-based mayonnaise, and dairy-based cheese. McDonald’s also notes that the patty is prepared on the same surface as meat.
