McDonald’s has expanded its meat-free offerings with a brand-new vegan burger after fans of the McPlant had been calling for more. The Double McPlant was announced in December, and launched in stores across the UK on Wednesday (January 4).
Prior to the launch of the “long-awaited and much-requested” burger, the fast-food giant said it was releasing the Double McPlant “just in time for those taking part in Veganuary or those who just simply crave a tasty new burger from McDonald’s.” It comes almost a year to the day since the single-patty McPlant was rolled out nationwide on January 5 last year.
“The undeniably delicious McPlant, which took over three years to develop, features a patty co-created with Beyond Meat and has already proved wildly successful with customers since its launch,” McDonald’s said. “It’s no secret that people went wild for the taste, with many taking to Twitter to express their desire for a doubled-up version.”
