McDonald’s in Canada is launching a new plant-based burger. The PLT (Plant Lettuce Tomato) burger uses a Beyond Meat burger, served on a sesame seed bun with tomato, lettuce, pickles, onions, mayo-style sauce, ketchup, mustard and a slice of processed cheddar cheese. Beyond Meat burgers are completely vegan patties made to look, cook and even bleed like beefburgers. Of course, including all the toppings on the PLT mean it’s not vegan as cheese contains dairy and mayo contains eggs – but the fast food restaurant says it can be customised. The burger is going on trial in Canada for the next month but nothing has been mentioned about it being brought to the UK yet.
