If there was any lingering doubt that veganism is going mainstream, the existence of the McVegan should clear it up. According to Food & Wine, McDonald’s is trialling a new meatless burger.

The soy-based patty is served with a schmear of vegan McFeast sauce, tomato, lettuce, onions and pickles. But there’s a catch – it’s exclusively available in Tampere, a city in southern Finland.

The test-run started on October 4 and Tampere residents have until November 21 to sample the McVegan for themselves. A representative for McDonald’s told TODAY that the meatless burger “is limited to McDonald’s Finland and there are no current plans for that to change.”

According to the blog Veggie Athletic, marketing director Christoffer Rönnblad confirmed that McDonald’s fries are vegan as well: “They are made here in Finland from potatoes and (fried) in vegetable oil. The fries are completely vegan.”
