Tim Hortons® is Going "Above and Beyond Meat®" for Guests

The Beyond Burger™ launches today at nearly 4,000 Tim Hortons restaurants nationwide

TORONTO, July 17, 2019 /CNW/ - After the successful launch of three new Beyond Meat^® Breakfast Sandwiches last month, Tim Hortons is expanding plant-based offerings to the lunch and dinner menu with two new, delicious Beyond Burgers. This marks the first time Tim Hortons has been able to include a burger on the menu because the burger patty is prepared in the same way as the Beyond Sausage™ patty for the new breakfast sandwiches.

The 100% plant-based burger patty was developed by Beyond Meat to taste like a beef burger. The result is a truly satisfying burger experience that is now available at the nearly 4,000 Tim Hortons restaurants nationwide.

There are two Beyond Burgers for guests to enjoy from coast to coast:

• The Beyond Burger features Beyond Meat's delicious 100% plant-based patty topped with processed cheese, fresh tomato slices, shredded lettuce, ketchup, mustard and mayonnaise on a sesame seed bun. $5.69*
• The BBQ Beyond Burger is a treat for taste buds with Beyond Meat's delicious 100% plant-based patty topped with processed cheese, fresh tomato slices, shredded lettuce, BBQ sauce and mayonnaise. $5.69*

Both burgers are available as part of a lunch combo with a beverage and side.
