McDonald's Offers a Vegan Omnipork Option in China
McDonalds in China is offering its consumers a vegan breakfast sandwich option with the help of Hong Kong-based label OmniPork. This marks the first plant-based meat selection across three cities in China for the fast-food chain. OmniPork is vegan luncheon meat and McDonald's China joined forces with the label to create five new items. This includes soy-based meats and wheat-based meats that come in breakfast wraps and sandwich items.
David Young, Founder of OmniPork talks about the collaboration, “This collaboration is long-anticipated after last October’s launch in Hong Kong and Macau. On behalf of the Green Monday team, we would like to express our sincere appreciation to McDonald’s China for making this impactful collaboration become reality [...] By introducing tasty and sustainable menu innovation, the planet, our animal friends along with many new-generation customers will be overjoyed to sing, ‘Ba da ba ba ba....I’m lovin’ it.’”
