While it's new to the menu in North America, the McPlant has already been introduced in parts of Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands, Austria and most recently the U.K.

The U.S. McPlant contains non-plant-based ingredients such as American cheese and mayonnaise and is cooked on the same grill as meat-based products and eggs. That said, customers can request to hold the cheese and mayonnaise, or any other ingredients, according to the brand.
