McDonald's has become the latest fast food company to launch a new vegan option: McVegan nuggets.
麥當勞是最新一家推出新的素食選擇的快餐公司，新品叫做麥素雞塊。
The plant-based offering is currently being offered in some of its Norway outlets.
目前，該公司在挪威的一些門店正在提供這種素食產品。
A spokesperson for the global fast food chain confirmed that the vegan nuggets are made with mashed potato, chickpeas, onion, carrots, and corn.
這家全球快餐連鎖店的發言人證實，素食雞塊由土豆泥、鷹嘴豆、洋蔥、胡蘿蔔和玉米制成。
They're then coated in a layer of breadcrumbs and fried until crispy, making them look and feel just like regular chicken nuggets.
然後裹上一層面包屑，炸至酥脆，讓它們看起來和感覺起來就像普通的雞塊一樣。
It's not the first vegan product on McDonald's ever-expanding menu though.
不過，這並不是麥當勞菜單上的第一款素食產品。
The fast food company currently offers customers soy-based McVegan burger in Finland and a McFalafel in Sweden.
這家快餐公司目前在芬蘭爲顧客提供以大豆爲基礎的麥素食漢堡，在瑞典爲顧客提供麥沙拉三明治。
In January, McDonald's released a vegan-friendly Happy Meal in the UK which includes a Spicy Veggie Wrap made from red pesto, sweetcorn, and breadcrumbs.
今年1月，麥當勞在英國推出了一款素食者友好型的“快樂套餐”，其中包括用紅香蒜沙司、甜玉米和麪包屑做成的辣味素食卷。
The wrap came under scrutiny earlier this year when McDonald's customers across the UK claimed they found chicken inside what they thought was a vegetarian option.
今年早些時候，英國各地的麥當勞顧客都說他們在這款卷裏發現了雞肉，而他們本以爲這是素食食品的，這款辣味素食卷隨後受到了嚴格審查。
Some people claimed to have been vegetarians their whole lives, and were distraught at having felt duped into eating meat.
有人稱他們一直以來都是素食主義者，爲自己居然被騙吃肉而糟心。
At the time, McDonald's issued an apology expressing their "disappointment" at any mistakes that might have been made in their kitchens.
當時，麥當勞發表了一份道歉聲明，對他們在廚房裏可能犯下的任何錯誤表示“失望”。
"We have a number of procedures in place to avoid inaccurate orders," the company stated.
該公司表示：“我們有一套合理的流程來避免訂單出錯。”
"After we saw that mistakes were being made, we introduced a number of additional measures in our kitchens and communicated with all stores to reduce inaccuracies quickly and effectively.
“在我們發現錯誤後，我們在廚房採取了一些額外的措施，並交代所有門店快速有效地減少錯誤。”
"We are disappointed that mistakes are still being made. We never want to disappoint customers, and any inaccuracy is not good enough."
“我們對仍然在出錯很失望。我們不想讓顧客失望，任何失誤都說明不夠優秀。”
Vegan offerings have surged in popularity in recent years, with Greggs making headlines most recently for the advent of its vegan sausage roll.
近年來，素食產品越來越受歡迎，格拉斯哥最近因推出純素香腸卷而上頭條。
