McD's tests McVegan burger in Finland

McDonald’s is now offering a “McVegan” burger for a limited time. Although this is a step in the right direction, the burger is only available at the Tampere, Finland store until November 21. 

But this is likely a test by the fast food chain and if the menu item performs well, we may see the vegan-friendly option available at several McDonald’s stores across the world.

The “McVegan” is similar to the McDonald’s staple the Quarter Pounder. The cheese-less burger comes with lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, ketchup, and mustard. 

But the burger isn’t the only vegan offering being served. This McDonald’s location is serving a vegan version of its beloved fries. The vegan fries will continue to be served after the “McVegan” LTO.

According to the “Top Trends in Prepared Foods in 2017” report by GlobalData, veganism is one of the six key trends outlined. Going meat-free was identified as the No. 1 trend.
