CHICAGO - McDonald's will be conducting a 12-week test of a new plant-based burger called the P.L.T., which stands for Plant. Lettuce. Tomato. in 28 restaurants in Southwestern Ontario, starting September 30. The P.L.T. is made with a Beyond Meat plant-based patty that has been crafted exclusively by McDonald's, for McDonald's, to deliver the iconic taste customers know and love.
"McDonald's has a proud legacy of fun, delicious and craveable food-and now, we're extending that to a test of a juicy, plant-based burger," said Ann Wahlgren, McDonald's VP of Global Menu Strategy. "We've been working on our recipe and now we're ready to hear feedback from our customers."
The McDonald's P.L.T. is a delicious, juicy, perfectly dressed plant-based burger on a warm, soft, sesame seed bun with the iconic McDonald's taste customers have come to love from McDonald's. Featuring a plant-based patty with no artificial colors, artificial flavors, or artificial preservatives, it's a great-tasting "open wide and sink your teeth into it" sandwich. The P.L.T. will be priced at $6.49 CAD plus tax.
Global tests like these offer innovation and variety to customers in a test market while McDonald's stays laser-focused on running great restaurants around the world.
"During this test, we're excited to hear what customers love about the P.L.T. to help our global markets better understand what's best for their customers," said Wahlgren. "This test allows us to learn more about real-world implications of serving the P.L.T., including customer demand and impact on restaurant operations."
