The companies announced in September that the world’s largest restaurant chain would sell the sandwiches in 28 stores in Ontario in a test run. “We’re pleased that McDonald’s customers have shared they are enjoying the delicious, plant-based burger,“ said a Beyond Meat spokesperson.Beyond Meat has rapidly spread across the restaurant industry in recent years and now has products in more than 7,000 Dunkin’ stores across the country, as well as at chains including Del Taco, Carl’s Jr. and Denny’s. McDonald’s scale — with roughly 14,000 locations in the U.S. alone — represents a unique challenge and opportunity for the company.
Impossible Foods, which makes a soy-based patty, had experienced shortages at times as it ramped up production to meet widespread demand, but announced a deal in July with global food producer OSI Group to expand production.
