McDonald’s Corp (NYSE: MCD) on Thursday said it is expanding the test of the plant-based McPlant burger from the next month, which the fast-food giant created with vegan meat maker Beyond Meat Inc (NASDAQ: BYND).

Starting from February 14, McDonald’s will begin selling the burgers at around 600 locations in the San Francisco Bay and Dallas-Fort Worth areas for as long as supplies last.
