McDonald’s Corp. has selected Beyond Meat Inc.’s faux-meat patties for a plant-based burger test in Canada. But the real prize will be the fast-food giant’s roughly 14,000 locations in its home market, and that race is still anybody’s game.

The restaurant chain said it will sell the new product, featuring a patty crafted exclusively for McDonald’s, at 28 restaurants in Ontario during a three-month trial run.
