McPlant - Vegan Burger with Beyond Meat (2024)

FAQs

McPlant - Vegan Burger with Beyond Meat? ›

McPlant® A vegan burger made with a juicy plant-based patty co-developed with Beyond Meat® featuring vegan sandwich sauce, ketchup, mustard, onion, pickles, lettuce, tomato, and a vegan alternative to cheese in a sesame seed bun.

The undeniably delicious McPlant features a patty co-created with Beyond Meat® and has already proved wildly successful with customers since its launch in September 2021.

At its height, the chain's vegan-friendly burger—dubbed the McPlant—was served in 600 restaurants from February to August of 2022 as a test for future markets. Due to slow sales, the burger was not greenlit for a nationwide expansion plan, forcing plant-based patrons to get scrappy when it came to ordering.

The new Beyond Burger significantly improves that health profile. It has 10 percent of the recommended intake of saturated fat and 14 percent of the recommended intake of sodium. A single patty has 230 calories, which is the same as the outgoing burger. For comparison, a Kroger-brand 80/20 beef patty has 290 calories.

The protein in the Beyond Burger® comes from peas, mung beans and rice. It is made with simple, plant-based ingredients without GMOs, soy, gluten or bioengineered ingredients.

“Impossible [Foods] exacerbated Beyond's problems by entering the grocery channel at significantly lower price points. Beyond was forced to reduce price to match Impossible, but consumers seemed to prefer Impossible's taste and texture.”

Flavour-wise, I think you'd be hard-pressed to tell the difference between the Big Mac and the McPlant. With the McPlant you could also be doing your health a favour: at just 450 calories, almost 200 fewer than the meat version, it's practically diet food.

With 8 grams of saturated fat, it nearly has the total daily limit for a 2,000 calorie diet. The American Heart Association recommends aiming for a dietary pattern that achieves 5% to 6% of calories from saturated fat. At 2,000 calories a day, no more than 120 of those calories should come from saturated fat.

What are the disadvantages of plant-based meat? ›

As some plant-based meat and mock meat products are created to replicate animal meat, they may undergo more processing. This leads to a high content of saturated fat, sodium, and added sugar.

Tempeh. Tempeh is a soy-based food product made from fermented soybeans. The natural fermentation and culturing process transforms the soy beans into a kind of 'cake', which means it is a whole soybean based food and therefore has a higher nutritional profile than tofu.

Are Impossible and Beyond Meat Healthy? From a nutrition standpoint, Impossible and Beyond Meat stack up quite similarly to beef (see below for a side-by-side comparison). That said, there are a few notable differences: Beyond has significantly less saturated fat than both ground beef and Impossible Burger.

Plant-based beef alternatives are more expensive than beef because of production costs. Even though the plant-based beef industry uses less grain to create its products than what gets used for livestock feed, the scale is much smaller. This leads to higher costs, which get passed to consumers.
