Good news for vegetarians! A&W Canada is introducing a new vegetarian burger to their menu!

A&W struck a partnership with Beyond Meat that will bring the plant-based burgers to its 925 locations across Canada starting July 9 2018. They will be the first national burger chain in Canada, and Beyond Meat’s largest restaurant partner yet, to add the innovative, plant-based burger to its menu.

“We are a burger loving company with a lot of firsts, but this is the fastest new-product launch in our history,” explains Susan Senecal, A&W Canada’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “When we tried the Beyond Meat Burger we were amazed with how great it tasted and knew we had to be the first national burger chain to bring it to Canadians across the country.”

A&W’s Beyond Meat Burger is created to satisfy burger lovers’ craving for a juicy, mouthwatering burger and will feature a classic build of lettuce, tomato, red onion, pickles, ketchup, mustard, and mayo. The 100% plant-based burger patty is made from protein-rich pulse crops, like peas, and mung beans. The simple, plant-based ingredients are combined using a recipe that delivers a delicious and satiating burger.
