FLR 70: McD’s McPlant Burger Hits the Marketplace

INGREDIENTS OF THE DAY:  none Since 2018, like a string of firecrackers, plant-based burgers have been exploding in the fast food industry as one drive-thru after another adds some version to their menu.  McDonald’s held back probably waiting to see how the market would respond.  Although McD’s was testing a product in Europe, they waited a long time to bring it to the USA.  Now they’re playing catchup (not ‘catsup’) with their new product called the McPlant burger based on a Beyond Meat product.
