According to FoodNavigator, more than 150,000 McVegans were sold at McDonald’s locations across Finland and Sweden in January.





Orkla Foods, the company that helped McDonald’s create the plant-based patty for the McVegan, reports that demand is exceeding the company’s expectations. Orkla’s CEO, Peter Ruzicka, tells FoodNavigator, “People want to eat more plant-based food, partly for health reasons, but also because of environmental reasons.” Ruzicka says the sales reflect the start of a “very, very exciting” partnership with the fast-food giant.





After a successful trial , McDonald’s announced last year that its McVegan would be a permanent menu item in Finland and Sweden.

















More people enjoying vegan food is great news for the billions of animals who suffer horribly at factory farms. Cows, pigs, and chickens raised and killed for food are subjected to unthinkable cruelties: tiny, filthy cages; burns and amputations; and merciless slaughter.





See for yourself.
