Vegetarians and vegans rejoice because Tim Hortons has just begun selling [Beyond Meat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-coffee-bean-tea-leaf1) sausage sandwiches and wraps at all of its Canadian locations. The rollout follows the successful test run of Beyond Meat’s new plant-based sausage at select locations in Toronto last month.

Tim Hortons' new Beyond Menu menu consists of several sandwiches and wraps made with Beyond Meat’s plant-based sausage. There's the Beyond Sausage Egg & Cheese sandwich, which sandwiches a plant-based sausage patty, cheese and egg omelet between a Homestyle Biscuit. There is also the Beyond Sausage Farmer’s Wrap, which combines the same plant-based sausage patty with a fluffy egg, a hashbrown, and melted cheese. For vegans who are looking for an animal-product-free option, there's a [vegan breakfast sandwich](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegetarian-breakfast-sandwiches) while combines Beyond Meat sausage with lettuce and tomato on a Homestyle Biscuit.
