In January 2022, McDonald’s partnered with vegan company Beyond Meat to launch its first plant-based burger, the McPlant, in the UK and Ireland.

Featuring a patty co-developed with Beyond Meat, the burger was tested by the company at more than 250 restaurants.

The plant-based burger, which took more than three years to develop, was the first plant-based option offered by the company to its British and Irish customers. The McPlant was rolled out across all McDonald’s outlets in the UK and Ireland.
