Reportedly, McDonald’s Corporation (MCD) is expanding the test of its McPlant, a plant-based burger made by Beyond Meat Inc. (BYND), from Feb. 14 to ~600 locations in the San Francisco Bay and Dallas-Fort Worth areas. The McPlant U.S test began Nov. 3 in eight locations in Texas, Iowa, Louisiana, and California.
