The McPlant is a vegetarian (and in some regions vegan) burger sold by the American multinational fast food chain McDonald's in several European countries.[3] In 2021, McDonald's partnered with Beyond Meat, a Los Angeles–based producer of plant-based meat substitutes, to create the McPlant platform.[4][5] It features a plant-based meat alternative burger patty made from plant ingredients such as potatoes, peas and rice.[6]
The McPlant was launched in the United Kingdom in January 2022, after tests in October 2021.[7]
