Beyond Meat is joining forces with A&W Canada once again to launch a brand new plant-based innovation, Beyond Meat Nuggets.
As of August 9, Canadians can dip, dunk and share a crispy, craveable plant-based chicken nugget option with all the benefits of plant-based protein and no sacrifice on taste or flavor, across A&W locations nationwide.
Perfect for dipping, dunking and sharing, Beyond Meat Nuggets offer the same universally loved experience as traditional chicken nuggets while offering 18 grams of plant-based protein per six pieces.
Like all Beyond Meat products, Beyond Meat Nuggets are made from simple, plant-based ingredients with no GMOs, antibiotics, hormones, or cholesterol.
Beyond Meat and A&W Canada first partnered in 2018 to introduce the popular Beyond Burger to Canadian consumers to great fanfare.
With the launch of Beyond Meat Nuggets on the A&W Canada menu, the two brands are furthering their partnership to bring Canadians increased choice and great tasting, best-in-class plant-based options.
The Nuggets will be available as a six- or 10-piece order, as well as an option for the A&W Kids’ Pack.

Review
I tried the Beyond Meat Nuggets and though they were pretty tasty. They did taste quite like chicken nuggets.

I disliked the taste and smell of the beyond meat nuggets. I ate one and my wife tried one but did not finish it. The car reeked of chemicals as we drove home to dispose of the remainder of the order. I am a huge A and W fan and usually really enjoy their food ( frequently!). I am really disappointed in this offering. They are a little pricey considering their very small size. I would definitely not recommend them.

Beyond meat products cooked with dead animal products are for carnivores, not people who are actually vegetarians. It's a good start, however. After 40 years of being a vegetarian, all the vegan products today are great...but still no real comprehension by carnivores about dead animals, their blood and fat in a vegan/vegetarian diet. Kinda sad.

How are they cooked? (i.e. are they cooked in the same oil as meat?)

@Laura, just like other fast food joints that offer vegan options, they are cooked in the same oil or grill as meat. Mainly due to the fact that these companies cant afford making room for a separate grill and fryer for vegan options.
Hopes this helped answering your question!
