A&W Canada & Lightlife Launched Plant-Based Nuggets
Laura McQuarrie — December 3, 2019 — Lifestyle
A&W Canada is distinguishing itself as the country's first quick-serve restaurant to offer Plant-Based Nuggets featuring Lightlife's meatless alternative. The crispy Plant-Based Nuggets are being introduced in Ontario and British Columbia, offering Canadians a unique new option for lunches, dinners and snacks.
The new plant-based menu item from A&W Canada features ingredients like peas, wheat and fava beans, and can be ordered as a set of six or 10 at a time. The Plant-Based Nuggets have the potential to be enjoyed with many of the QSR's dipping sauces, including choices like Barbecue or Sweet & Sour—which are completely plant-based—or other options like
Honey Mustard or Jalapeno Ranch for those who may be more flexible with their diet.
