According to AdWeek, fast-food chain, White Castle is testing plant-based cheese in New York and New Jersey. Starting March 1, the brand will offer GoodPlanet cheese alternatives.

The dairy-free cheddar cheese will be available to add to any slider, including plant-based burgers. The company currently offers a veggie slider and black bean slider.

Jamie Richardson, vice president of White Castle, said in a statement, ” We’re committed to innovation, and we’re always looking for ways to do things better and make things better for our loyal customers. It’s exciting to be the fast-food restaurant that’s leading the trend in providing plant-based options for consumers.”
