Shares of Beyond Meat fell 7% in morning trading after the CBC reported that McDonald’s stopped testing a burger made with its patties in Canada.
In a tweet to a consumer asking about the burger, McDonald’s Canada said that the test ended April 6. The chain has no plans to bring back the item at this time.

Hi there. Our Plant-Based Burger was being tested in several Markets until April 6th. We have no current plans to bring it back to our menu at this time. However, we will be sure to share your feedback with our team for future consideration.

In September, McDonald’s joined the push for more meat alternatives in North America when it started testing the meat-free P.L.T. burger in southwestern Ontario. The test expanded to another 24 locations in January for a 12-week test.
McDonald’s said in a statement that there has been no change to its relationship with Beyond Meat.
“We’re evaluating learnings from our recent test to inform future menu options. As we look ahead, we will plan to bring plant-based options to the menu at the right time for customers in individual markets,” the company said.
Other international McDonald’s markets have found more success with meatless burgers. Restaurants in Germany, for example, have added veggie burgers made by Nestle to their menus.
In the United States, McDonald’s has yet to test a vegan burger. The coronavirus pandemic led the chain to streamline its menus temporarily and to push back product launches, including a new chicken sandwich.

Why is it that those vegans want us to go eat plants.
Do we force them to eat meat?
“They” want to tell you how to live, what to eat, what to drive, how to cook (no bbq’s), etc.
They are your superior and know what is best.
You are to bow down and submit. And send them more money.
Not ask questions.
Also why is it they want to have items to eat which are replicas of real meat items (burgers, brats, bacon, etc.) If you want those things then go for the real thing!
Its most likely those jerks from PETA as well as the HSUS and PETA,s phonie Doctors group PCRM and screwballs like Beyond Meat
Your’re all missing the point. I haven’t bought the ridiculously expensive synthetic crap from fast food joints for 40 years. I have a theory that everything is some form of polymer injection molded process HAHA. I cancelled cable TV 15 years ago. CCD delivers intelligence for example.
Isn’t that the fake meat that had so much estrogen-analogue that it could cause gynocomastia? Something like 18,000,000 times more estrogen-analogue than meat-based burgers?
Yeah, you couldn’t pay me to eat that trash. You might be able to hold me down and cram it down my throat, but it’d take a few guys to get it done; those feminized, overly-domesticated, mincing little snowflakes doing the holding and cramming will get beaten to bloody pulps; then I’d purge that BK fake-meat trash and go eat a real burger from Carl’s Jr. or In-N-Out.
Only the stupid, indoctrinated, brain dead green zombies in Germany can eat this idiotic meat-free ,taste free,common sence free burger.
The plant-‘milk’sops will attempt to solve this problem through dietary legislation. After all, they know what’s good (soy) and bad (meat and dairy) for everyone else.
