Tim Hortons Customers Didn't Warm Up to Plant-Based Meat

Restaurant Brands International (NYSE: QSR) may be losing its appetite for plant-based meat, recently confirming it had pulled the last of Beyond Meat's (NASDAQ: BYND) faux-meat products from its Tim Hortons chain.

Only months after rolling out the faux-meat breakfast sausage and then burger patties to the coffee shop's 4,000 restaurants, it pulled the items from all of its restaurants except those in British Columbia and Ontario in September, and now says it's yanking them from those locations as well.

According to a company statement, a Tim Hortons spokesperson said the pea-protein sausage was "not embraced by our guests as we thought it would be. We may offer plant-based alternatives again in the future, but we have removed it from the menu for now.”
