McDonald’s expands its plant-based menu items by launching the McPlant Nuggets. The new vegan addition is coming to the fast-food’s store outlets in Germany.
McDonald’s announced on Wednesday, Feb. 15, that the new McPlant Nuggets is arriving on Feb. 22. The company said it has signed a new 3-year contract with Beyond Meat for the supply of the patty for its McPlant burger as well as the nuggets.
According to CNBC, diners will be able to order the plant-based nuggets in more than 1,400 McDonald’s stores in Germany. Customers who prefer not to eat meat can also enjoy a burger as the McPlant burger will also be added to the menu.
It was noted that the fast-food chain already made some plant-based food items a permanent part of its menu in various countries including the Netherlands, United Kingdom, Austria, Ireland, and now Germany. Since it introduced vegan options, McDonald’s has worked with Beyond Meat for the supply.
In any case, the McPlant Nuggets were tested in Stuttgart last year and the positive results led to its official store launch in the country. This plant-based food is made from corn, wheat, peas, and covered in tempura breading.
Meanwhile, The Washington Post reported that McDonald’s also tested the McPlant burger in the United States but there was no follow-up after this. The company simply ended the test last summer without announcing any plans for sale in the future.
Then again, Beyond Meat already started selling its chicken meal alternative in the U.S. and is now available in grocery outlets since 2021. It has also partnered with other fast-food chains such as Panda Express and KFC for the co-development of plant-based nuggets and tenders.
