McDonald’s is to join a growing list of fast food restaurants selling vegan meals in the UK. It follows the likes of KFC and Greggs in introducing vegan options.
However, it said it would continue to campaign for McDonald’s to bring its McVegan burger, which is available in Finland and Sweden, to the UK.
McDonald’s said in the last 12 months it had seen an “80% uplift” in customers ordering vegetarian options.
The firm is the latest fast food chain to offer vegan products. Famously, Greggs launched a vegan sausage roll at the beginning of the year which it credited with boosting sales.
McDonald’s said its Veggie Dippers meal – including vegan nuggets served with chips and a soft drink – will launch in the UK on 2 January.
Other chains with vegan options include Frankie & Benny’s, Gourmet Burger Kitchen, Nando’s, Papa John’s and Pizza Hut.
