Carl’s Jr. and Hardees Partner With Beyond Meat To Launch New BBQ Burger

US fast-food chains Carl’s Jr. and Hardees have teamed up with Beyond Meat to launch a new BBQ Cheeseburger.

The new Beyond Spicy BBQ Cheeseburger features a Beyond Meat burger patty, topped with jalapeños, onion rings, Pepper Jack cheese, and BBQ sauce. The burger can be made vegan by ordering it without onion rings or cheese.

The plant-based burger — which is on sale now for a limited time only — is priced starting from $5.19 for a single and $7.79 for a combo.

Beyond Meat has expanded its reach with a number of new collaborations and product launches this year.

Earlier this month, the vegan protein giant released an affordable limited-edition version of its burger — the Cookout Classic. With a suggested retail price of $15.99, each burger in the 10-pack will work out to a cost of $1.60.

The company has also expanded operations into Europe with the opening of a new production facility in the Netherlands.
