Only 7 companies topped the list with 5 stars: Starbucks, Pizza Hut, Burger King, Taco Bell, KFC, Chipotle, and Panera. Baskin Robbins was the only chain awarded 4 stars for having diversified protein options and moving in the right direction. Moe’s Southwest Grille and El Pollo Loco both received 3 stars due to making progress in adding plant-based menu options, but not quite enough and Dunkin’, formerly Dunkin’ Donuts, received 2 stars because it is failing to make progress and lacks nationwide options. All the remaining 35 fast-food chains received 1-star ratings including McDonald’s, Subway, Wendy’s, and Popeye’s. WAP says these chains do not meet expectations for plant-based proteins and show a lack of commitment to meat reduction. Cameron Harsh, the U.S. Programs Director for WAP, says that while adding plant-based menu items is important, fast-food chains also need to cut down their use of meat-based proteins. Harsh says that we don’t necessarily need to cut meat out entirely, but a switch to plant-based protein is becoming a necessity for planetary health.
