Dunkin’ has launched a breakfast sandwich featuring the vegan Beyond Sausage in more than 160 stores across New York – with plans to roll it out nationwide.
The Beyond Sausage Breakfast Sandwich ($4.29) from Dunkin’ features an English with the sausage, American cheese and egg – which can be removed to make the option suitable for vegans.*
Dunkin’ says it is the US’ first restaurant to offer Beyond Breakfast Sausage.
