KFC has a trial underway with plant-based nuggets at 60 restaurants in Charlotte, North Carolina, and Nashville, Tennesee.
If that is a success, the KFC will add the nuggets to its menu at about 4,000 U.S. outlets, the company said.
Denny’s is also offering a plant-based burger made by Beyond Meat at its more than 1,700 restaurants in the U.S. and Canada, the chain said Monday.
It ran a trial in its Los Angeles restaurants in late October.
Starbucks told an investors call this week that it will soon offer a breakfast sandwich with a plant-based patty at its stores in the U.S. and Canada. It did not say who will source the patties.
