Wendy’s Georgia and Beyond Meat® Partner Up to Launch Plant-Based Meat Burger Nationwide in the Country of Georgia

(20 November, Tbilisi, Georgia) - Wendy’s Georgia and Beyond Meat, Inc., a leader in plant-based meat, today announced the launch of a new plant-based meat burger - the Wendy’s Plant Burger. Starting 23 November, the delicious burger will be rolling into all 19 Wendy’s restaurant locations across the country of Georgia, for a limited time, while supplies last.  

The Wendy’s Plant Burger features Beyond Meat’s juicy plant-based patty at the center of the build. The Beyond Meat patty is made with protein from peas and brown rice, and has 0 mg of cholesterol per serving. The burger is topped with fresh lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, onions, ketchup and mayo. 

Designed to have the same taste and texture as animal-based meat, Beyond Meat’s products allow people to continue eating what they love – like a juicy burger – without having to compromise on taste or sustainability. This partnership will allow Wendy’s Georgia to cater to the local demand for vegetarian and flexitarian options, providing even more choices for today’s conscious consumers.

We’re excited to deliver on Wendy’s ‘Quality is our Recipe®’ promise by offering customers a wider range of choices.
