Burger King rolled out the plant-based Impossible Whopper nationwide in 2019.
Several restaurants have offered plant-based options for customers.
Earlier this year, Chipotle Mexican Grill announced that it will add plant-based chorizo to its menu for a limited time at U.S. locations.
In 2019, McDonald’s started selling the PLT, or the plant, lettuce and tomato burger. McDonald’s said it developed the special recipe using burgers from Beyond Meat, a California-based startup that makes "meat" from pea protein, canola oil, beet juice and other ingredients.
