Savory QSR Jackfruit Burgers

The McDonald's Meatless McKroket Has a New Recipe

The McDonald's Meatless McKroket has been announced by the QSR brand in the Netherlands with a new recipe that gives it impressive taste, texture and nutritional attributes for customers to appreciate.

The sandwich is crafted with a PrimeJack Jackfruit filling for the patty that gives it an impressive taste and texture that's also vegan-friendly. The sandwich maintains a plant-based recipe that can be ordered without the McKroket Mustard Sauce to make it a vegan-friendly menu item for diners to try out this spring or summer. The menu item was developed through a partnership with Van Geloven and Fiber Foods Group.

The McDonald's Meatless McKroket puts a locally-developed product on the market exclusive for the McDonald's Netherlands brand that's expected to catch consumer attention this spring and summer.
