McDonald’s India (West & South), managed by Westlife Foodworld, has unveiled a new offering, the Protein Plus range.
It includes a 100% vegetarian, plant-based Protein Plus Slice, which adds 5g of protein to any burger.
Its development has involved collaboration with the CSIR-Central Food Technological Research Institute (CFTRI), part of the Ministry of Science and Technology, as reported by The Hindu.
The slice is vegetarian, formed from soy and pea, and does not contain artificial colours or flavours. It is also free from onion and garlic, making it suitable for various dietary needs.
Westlife Foodworld CEO Akshay Jatia stated: “We have always believed in giving our customers more choice, and this time, we are giving them the power to personalise their protein intake.
“The Protein Plus range allows them to enjoy their favourite McDonald’s burgers without compromising on their protein needs or the taste.”
In conjunction with this launch, Swiggy has formed a partnership with McDonald’s India (West & South) to offer the Protein Plus range of burgers exclusively on its platform from 24 July to 11 August 2025, as reported by Afaqs.
Customers will be able to find these items in the high-protein section of the Swiggy app. The new burger range will be available in 58 cities across Western and Southern India, including Mumbai, Bangalore, Pune, Hyderabad and Mysore.
“McDonald’s India launches plant-based Protein Plus range” was originally created and published by Verdict Food Service, a GlobalData owned brand.
