McDonald's McNuggets are going fowl-free.
The Chicago-based fast food giant will introduce its first plant-based McNuggets next week. Germany is the first market to get them. The nuggets are made from peas, corn and wheat.
They're the second product McDonald's has co-developed with Beyond Meat, a California-based maker of plant-based meats.
McDonald's has been selling a McPlant burger in some European markets since 2021.
McDonald's said the nationwide rollout to more than 1,400 German restaurants follows a limited-time test in August.
McDonald's says availability of the McPlant nuggets and burger in future markets will depend on customer demand.
