McDonald’s are introducing vegan-friendly nuggets in the New Year.

McDonald’s will be launching their first ever full vegan meal from 2 January of 2020.

Customers will be able to order a fully vegan meal for the first time when their brand new Veggie Dippers are released, teamed with a Vegan Society approved portion of fries and any of the soft drink options and sauces.

The Veggie Dippers will also be available as a fully vegan Happy Meal following the success of a trial period earlier this year.

The new Veggie Dippers, made with red pepper, rice, sundried tomato pesto and split peas surrounded by light and crispy breadcrumbs, have been accredited by The Vegan Society.

So you’re good to go.

Thomas O’Neill, Head of Food Marketing at McDonald’s UK & Ireland, said: “In the last 12 months we’ve seen an 80% uplift in customers ordering vegetarian options at McDonald’s, so it is time for the brand famous for the dippable McNugget to launch a dippable option for our vegetarian, vegan and flexitarian customers.

“The Veggie Dippers are a delicious addition to our menu and we’re looking forward to seeing what customers make of our first vegan Extra Value Meal and Happy Meal in the New Year.”

Great news for the vegans out there.
