Report Ranks America's Biggest Burger Chains on Plant-Based Options
A new assessment celebrates the growing menu of meat-free burgers at the largest US chains — and reveals which ones lead the pack.
Plant-based burgers are becoming an everyday option at some of the biggest names in American fast food, according to a new report.
The assessment looked at the 25 largest burger chains in the United States, ranking them on the plant-based options they offer.
The report, from Mercy For Animals, an Ecoflix partner, highlights which chains came out on top — pointing to a clear direction of travel across the industry.
By putting the spotlight on menus, the organization hopes to encourage more chains to expand their plant-based choices, giving customers easy, familiar ways to eat with animals and the planet in mind.
The comparison also offers diners a simple guide to where the best meat-free burgers can be found, making kinder choices that bit more accessible.
For chains near the top, the recognition is a reminder that offering plant-based options is increasingly good for business as well as for animals.
For those lower down the list, it is an invitation to catch up with a trend that shows no sign of slowing.
Taken together, the findings point to a hopeful shift: plant-based burgers are no longer a novelty but a growing fixture on mainstream menus.
