The Canadian fast-food chain announced Wednesday that she was testing Beyond Meat's sausage patty in three of her sandwiches for breakfast. New menu items are available now in some locations across Canada.
"As Canadian tastes and culinary preferences evolve, Tim Hortons is looking to offer new options to customers with a new sandwich test at Beyond Meat breakfast," the company said in a statement.
Tim Hortons sells sausage in three sandwiches, including a breakfast sandwich at Beyond Meat, which is similar to McDonald's egg McMuffin's. It will also serve a Beyond Farm Meat breakfast wrap and add a vegan sandwich option, which contains no eggs or cheese.
The sausage pie is made from plant-based proteins that have a texture and taste similar to reality.
If the test is successful, Tim Hortons will extend the Beyond Meat menu options to its approximately 4,000 restaurants across Canada by the end of the summer.
The announcement comes a day after Tim Hortons sister-restaurant Burger King announced the extension of the Impossible Whopper to four new US cities, before gaining momentum across the country. . Burger King's Burger King Meatless Burger Patty is produced by Impossible Foods, a rival of Beyond Meat.
Burger King and Tim Hortons both belong to Restaurant Brands International (QSR). The company, which also owns Popeyes, announced Wednesday its intention to expand its global footprint of 26,000 restaurants to 40,000 over the next decade.
Beyond meat and impossible, both foods have grown rapidly in the past month.
Beyond the meat (BYND) became public early this month and is trading well above its $ 25 introductory price. He closed at nearly $ 80 a share on Tuesday.
Impossible announced Monday to have raised an additional $ 300 million from institutional investors and celebrities, such as Serena Williams and Jay-Z, to help meet the demand. The company said it was a shortage due to increasing demand.
