The fast food giant announced earlier this year it was trialling a new burger – the McVegan.

The soy-based patty is nestled in a bun with lettuce, onions, ketchup and mustard – which has led plant-based dieters to go wild.

The burger was only sold in Tampere, Finland between October 4 and November 21.

And the response was so positive, the burger is being rolled out nationwide.

And in Sweden too.

“The test in Finland blew all the expectations out of the water,” said Staffan Ekstam, Head of Food Strategy at McDonald’s in Sweden.

“We can now offer our guests a vegan burger developed in Sweden.

“Our ambition is that there should be something on our menu for all of the 400,000 guests who visit us every day," he added.

Fans in the UK won’t be able to sample the treat just yet.

But if the response to the small-scale Finnish test is anything to go by, then the McVegan could be looking at a warm reception in the rest of the world soon enough.

Taking to Twitter, one fan begged: “Please bring the McVegan to the UK. I would buy it everyday”.

Another added: “The McVegan needs to become a thing around the world”.

A third added: “Yo. Mickey Dee’s. When ya bringing that vegan burger across the pond?”

An excited customer wrote: "AHH I cannot WAIT to try the new burger. Happiest I've been to live in Sweden".

And while McDonald’s is serving up new items the menu, like the chocolate-frizzed fires in Japan, it axed one favourite from its menu just last week.

The chain announced it would stop serving the mocha as part of the McCafe menu.

Customers were left raging and dubbing the situation as #mochagate.
