Plant-based tracker: The year in substitutes for meat, eggs and dairy

Meatless and dairy-free items were introduced by Baskin-Robbins, Bubbakoo’s Burritos, Burger King, Burgerville, Carl’s Jr., Courtyard by Marriott, Del Taco, Dunkin’, Epic Burger, Farm Burger, Fresh&Co, Hard Rock Café, Honeygrow, Le Pain Quotidien , Oath Pizza, Pieology, PizzaRev, Qdoba Mexican Eats, Quiznos, Saxbys, Smoke’s Poutinerie, Subway, Taco Bell, Ted’s Montana Grill, Umami Burger, White Castle, Wow Bow and Your Pie

It has been a banner year for plant-based substitutes, and although meatless burgers made from Impossible Burger and Beyond Meat captured headlines, there were plenty of other innovations by operators seeking to replace animal protein with vegetables and fruit.

Take a look at some of the high-tech and low-tech offerings that were made available in 2019.
