CANTON, Mass., Oct. 21, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Dunkin' today
marked a major step in making plant-based menu options easily
accessible to Americans everywhere, announcing plans for the
nationwide rollout of its highly-anticipated Beyond Sausage®
Sandwich. First introduced exclusively in Manhattan in July, the Beyond Sausage Sandwich
quickly became one of the top-selling sandwiches, driving Dunkin'
to accelerate plans for the national launch, with participating
U.S. restaurants serving the Beyond Sausage Sandwich beginning
November 6.
Dunkin' is the first nationwide U.S. quick service restaurant
brand to Go Beyond™ traditional on-the-go breakfast choices by
serving Beyond Breakfast Sausage™. Offering the delicious taste and
texture of a juicy, savory breakfast sausage patty, Dunkin's Beyond
Sausage Sandwich features Beyond Meat's breakfast sausage patty
made with 100% plant-based protein and a mix of spices crafted
specifically for Dunkin'. The Beyond Breakfast Sausage patty
features 10g of plant-based protein and is served on an English
muffin with egg and American cheese. The Beyond Sausage Sandwich
has 29% less total fat, 33% less saturated fat and fewer calories,
cholesterol and sodium than a traditional Dunkin' Sausage, Egg and
Cheese Breakfast Sandwich on an English muffin.
Dunkin' is celebrating the national launch with its first-ever,
multi-day sandwich-tasting event. To give guests a chance to
experience the great taste of this plant-based sausage for
themselves, on Friday, November 8 and
Saturday, November 9 from
8 a.m. to 10 a.m., guests at
participating Dunkin' U.S. restaurants are invited to enjoy a
complimentary sample of the Beyond Sausage Sandwich, while supplies
last.
According to Dave Hoffmann,
Dunkin' Brands Chief Executive Officer and Dunkin' U.S. President,
"We are extremely proud of our partnership with Beyond Meat and
thrilled to be the first U.S. quick service restaurant to offer
Beyond Breakfast Sausage nationwide. Dunkin' is the brand that
democratizes trends for America, and this latest addition to our
menu gives consumers more choice to meet their evolving needs. As
we continue to transform our brand, we're proud to use our platform
to give everyone the opportunity to enjoy the great taste and
benefits of plant-based protein."
"We're excited to introduce the Beyond Sausage Sandwich
nationwide and in doing so, offer an option with
fewer calories, less total fat, saturated fat, cholesterol and
sodium, while delivering more protein and iron than a
comparable pork sausage sandwich," said Ethan Brown, Beyond Meat Founder and CEO. "We
are excited that everyone who runs on Dunkin' now has the
option to make a delicious plant-based sausage sandwich part of
their day."
