McDonald’s UK Set To Launch First Fully Vegan Meal In January 2020

McDonalds will launch their first ever vegan meal from the 2nd January, with the introduction of the new Veggie Dippers.

The new Veggie Dippers, made with red pepper, rice, sundried tomato pesto and split peas surrounded by light and crispy breadcrumbs, have been accredited as vegan by The Vegetarian Society.

Customers will be able to order a fully vegan meal for the first time when the Veggie Dippers are teamed with a Vegan accredited Fries and any of the soft drink options and sauces. The Veggie Dippers will also be available as a fully vegan Happy Meal  following the success of the first ever veggie Happy Meal earlier this year.

Thomas O’Neill, Head of Food Marketing at McDonald’s UK & Ireland, said: “In the last 12 months we’ve seen an 80% uplift in customers ordering vegetarian options at McDonald’s, so it is time for the brand famous for the dippable McNugget to launch a dippable option for our vegetarian, vegan and flexitarian customers. The Veggie Dippers are a delicious addition to our menu and we’re looking forward to seeing what customers make of our first vegan Extra Value Meal and Happy Meal in the New Year.”
