Did you know beef is one of the most resource-intensive foods in our diet? To make just ONE ¼ lb beef patty requires 58 gallons of water and 41 sq. ft of land. But who says meat has to come from animals? Meat is made up of four building blocks: protein, fat, trace minerals, and water. Beyond Meat finds these same building blocks in the plant kingdom and rebuilds meat from the ground up without sacrificing on taste or texture.

\n

 

\n

\"\"

\n

 

\n

It makes intuitive sense that if you skip the middleman, you can make meat much more efficiently, but how much more? We're excited to finally share that over the last year, we worked with the University of Michigan to lead a 3rd-party, peer-reviewed Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) comparing the environmental impact of making a 1/4 Beyond Burger versus everything that goes into making a ¼ lb. U.S. beef burger.

\n

The LCA study concluded that The Beyond Burger uses 99% less water, 93% less land, generates 90% fewer Greenhouse Gas Emissions (GHGE), and requires 46% less energy than a beef burger.

\n

 

\n

\"\"

\n

 

\n

Building meat without the animal requires way less resources, making it a much more efficient and sustainable process. The Beyond Burger is simply meat made better.

\n

The announcement of the report coincides with Beyond Meat being honored by the United Nations as a 2018 Champion of the Earth. This award is the UN's highest and most prestigious environmental honor, and we're beyond humbled they're recognizing our global sustainability efforts as a leader for positive change.

\n

\n

CHEW ON THIS:

\n

One of the goals behind the LCA study was to quantify the positive impact consumers can have on climate and natural resources by shifting from beef burgers to Beyond Burgers. Americans eat an estimated 50 BILLION hamburgers every year! On average, that's 3 burgers per week. More than the car you drive or the type of light bulbs used in your home, the meat you eat has a huge impact on the environment.

\n

If Americans switched just one of these beef burgers to a plant-based Beyond Burger for a year...

\n

It would be like taking 12 MILLION cars off the road and saving enough energy to power 2.3 MILLION homes.

\n

That's what we like to call, a burger with benefits!

\n

ENGINEERING GLOBAL CHANGE

\n

Sustainability doesn't stop there! A commitment to environmental stewardship has always been an essential pillar in Beyond Meat's vision. In addition to making products that have a lighter environmental footprint, we recently implemented the following eco-friendly measures:

\n\n

That's how we, Go Beyond!

BEYOND MEAT® EXPANDS CLUB STORE DISTRIBUTION WITH BJ’S WHOLESALE AND SAM’S CLUB
\n
\n
 
\n
The company’s Beyond Burger® 8-pack, specifically designed for the club store channel, is designed to increase accessibility through affordability and convenience
\n

EL SEGUNDO, Calif., Aug. 03, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Beyond Meat, Inc. (NASDAQ: BYND), a leader in plant-based meat, is working to increase accessibility to plant-based meat through the development of new sales channels, including club and convenience stores. The company, which offers an 8-pack of its flagship Beyond Burger®, first broke into the club channel last year at Costco. This summer, Beyond Meat added partnerships with BJ’s Wholesale and Sam’s Club, unlocking partnerships with three major club stores.

\n

“Having entered all national conventional retailers in the US, we looked for where the white space existed and club stores were the next logical step towards increasing accessibility to plant-based meat among mainstream consumers,” said Chuck Muth, Chief Growth Officer, Beyond Meat. “By offering the Beyond Burger in a larger format, we’re able to provide value to consumers and a more accessible entry point for those looking to try a plant-based option for the first time or increase their adoption of plant-based meat. With the added focus on retail the past few months as well as a shift towards less frequent, stock-up style shopping trips, our distribution in club stores has been especially critical.”

\n

Beyond Meat was the first plant-based meat option that Sam’s Club explored via an initial test earlier this year at all locations. Following a strong, positive response from consumers, Sam’s chose to make the Beyond Burger a permanent offering.

\n

After seeing a growing interest in plant-based options, BJ’s Wholesale evaluated several options and ultimately chose to offer its members Beyond Meat, a leader in the space.

\n

Beyond Meat was the #1 selling brand in refrigerated plant-based meat and owned the top four selling SKUs in all of plant-based meat per­­ the latest 4-week SPINS data ending 6/14/20. Beyond Meat’s club store distribution footprint currently includes the majority of BJ’s Wholesale Club, Costco and Sam’s Club stores across the US.

\n

This effort comes on the heels of an exciting year of growth for Beyond Meat, whose portfolio of plant-based proteins were available at approximately 25,000 retail stores across the US as of March 28, 2020 including Kroger, Walmart, Target, Whole Foods Market, Albertsons/Vons/Pavilions, Publix, Wegmans, Sprouts and more.

All Beyond Meat products are designed to meet, if not exceed, the nutritional benchmarks of its animal protein equivalent. Compared to an 80/20 beef burger, the Beyond Burger has:

BEYOND MEAT® SERVES CANADA A SECOND HELPING WITH NATIONAL LAUNCH OF BEYOND BEEF®

\n
\n
\n
\n

Canada becomes the first country outside of the U.S. to sell the versatile plant-based ground made without GMOs, soy or gluten

\n

TORONTO--Starting today, Canadians can now enjoy even more options at their local grocer’s fresh meat counter with the launch of Beyond Beef®, a new product from plant-based leader, Beyond Meat, Inc. (NASDAQ: BYND), that’s designed to look, cook and taste like ground beef. Canada is the first market outside of the U.S. to offer Beyond Beef.

\n

Made from simple, plant-based ingredients without GMOs, soy or gluten, Beyond Beef delivers the culinary versatility, juicy flavor and meat-like texture of traditional ground, with marbling made from cocoa butter that melts and tenderizes for a satisfying and delicious at-home cooking experience.

\n

All of Beyond Meat’s products are designed to meet, if not exceed, the nutritional profile of its animal protein equivalent. Compared to regular ground beef, Beyond Beef offers:

\n
    \n
  • A complete source of protein with 18g per 100g serving
    • \n
  • More iron
    • \n
  • 35% less saturated fat
    • \n
  • Less total fat
    • \n
  • No cholesterol, antibiotics or hormones
    • \n
\n

“Canada is a very progressive market and since launching in retail there earlier this year, we’ve seen a tremendous response from Canadians who are interested in our plant-based proteins,” said Ethan Brown, Beyond Meat Founder and CEO. “We are excited to bring our latest product innovation to Canadians, welcoming a growing number of consumers to the delicious taste and nutritional and environmental benefits of our plant-based proteins.\"

\n

This past summer, Beyond Meat entered the Canadian retail market with the launch of the Beyond Burger and in less than six months, distribution has grown to more than 4,000 stores. At a major Canadian retailer, the Beyond Burger is the #1 selling plant-based burger in the fresh meat counter - with 80% of plant-based burger sales in the fresh meat counter coming from Beyond Meat.

\n

Benefits of plant-based proteins

\n

According to the 2019 Canada Food Guide, Canadians are encouraged to diversify their protein sources, with an emphasis on incorporating more plant-based proteins. Beyond Meat works in service of that vision by sourcing the same building blocks of meat -- proteins, fats, trace minerals, carbohydrates and water -- directly from the plant kingdom. We believe this innovative approach is more sustainable and humane than traditional livestock production and offers the additional nutritional benefits of plant-based protein.

\n

Starting today, fans looking to try the NEW Beyond Beef can visit the fresh meat counter of their local grocery store and then head to the recipe section of the Beyond Meat website for inspiration and how-to videos for favorites such as tacos, meatballs, chili, sliders and more.

KFC LEADS AS FIRST NATIONAL U.S. QSR TO TEST PLANT-BASED CHICKEN, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH BEYOND MEAT®

\n

Beyond Fried Chicken™ rolls out 8/27 in a limited release at Atlanta KFC

\n

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Aug. 26, 2019  -- Kentucky Fried Chicken® becomes the first national U.S. QSR (quick service restaurant) to introduce a plant-based chicken, in partnership with Beyond Meat®. Beyond Fried Chicken™ will make its debut August 27 in a limited test.

\n

The new plant-based Beyond Fried Chicken offers the finger lickin' good fried chicken flavor only KFC can deliver as a perfect choice for those searching for plant-based meat options on-the-go.

\n

Atlantans will be the first to get a taste of KFC's new Beyond Fried Chicken as part of an exclusive, one restaurant test on August 27 at the Cobb Parkway restaurant near SunTrust Park in Atlanta (2637 Cobb Pkwy South East, Smyrna, Ga.).

\n

Beyond Fried Chicken is available in nuggets with choice of favorite dipping sauce, like KFC's signature Finger Lickin' Good sauce, or boneless wings tossed in one of three delicious sauce options: Nashville Hot, Buffalo or Honey BBQ.

\n

Those who want to be among the first to try the new plant-based Beyond Fried Chicken are invited to stop by the Cobb Parkway restaurant for a complimentary sample of Beyond Fried Chicken from 10:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. tomorrow, August 27 (with purchase of any KFC menu item, while supplies last).

\n

KFC guests who want to make it a meal can pick from several Colonel-approved Beyond Fried Chicken options:

\n\n

\"KFC Beyond Fried Chicken is so delicious, our customers will find it difficult to tell that it's plant-based,\" said Kevin Hochman, president and chief concept officer, KFC U.S. \"I think we've all heard 'it tastes like chicken' – well our customers are going to be amazed and say, 'it tastes like Kentucky Fried Chicken!'\"

\n

KFC turned to plant-based leader, Beyond Meat, to create a finger lickin' good plant-based fried chicken that will appeal to lovers of both Beyond Meat and KFC. Customer feedback from the Atlanta test will be considered as KFC evaluates a broader test or potential national rollout. 

\n

\"KFC is an iconic part of American culture and a brand that I, like so many consumers, grew up with. To be able to bring Beyond Fried Chicken, in all of its KFC-inspired deliciousness to market, speaks to our collective ability to meet the consumer where they are and accompany them on their journey. My only regret is not being able to see the legendary Colonel himself enjoy this important moment,\" said Ethan Brown, founder and CEO, Beyond Meat.

\n

Beyond Meat began developing its revolutionary plant-based meat in 2009 and since then has introduced several breakthrough products across the brand's beef, pork and poultry platforms. The announcement of plant-based chicken makes the KFC and Beyond Meat partnership a unique one and the first of its kind in the U.S. QSR space.

\n

KFC has a history of frequently testing unique and craveable menu items as a part of the brand's food innovation strategy, considering food trends and evaluating customer feedback to KFC's test offerings. This limited, one-restaurant test of Beyond Fried Chicken is part of KFC's continued commitment to understanding its consumers' tastes and preferences.

JUST IN TIME FOR GRILLING SEASON, BEYOND SAUSAGE™ LAUNCHES AT WHOLE FOODS MARKET® STORES NATIONWIDE

\n
\n
\n
\n

Following Rave Reviews, Beyond Meat’s Game-Changing Plant-Based Sausage Links Are Hitting Grocery Store Shelves Nationwide

\n

EL SEGUNDO, Calif.--Beyond Meat® announces that this week Beyond Sausage™, the breakthrough plant-based links that look, sizzle and satisfy like pork sausage, will be arriving at Whole Foods Market® stores nationwide. Just as the weather starts warming up and consumers look for new options for the grill, the missing links will be sold next to The Beyond Burger® at Whole Foods Market® stores across the country. Available in three mouthwatering flavors, Original Bratwurst, Hot Italian and Sweet Italian, Beyond Sausage will come in four-link packages.

\n

The latest innovation from plant-based leader Beyond Meat delivers on the juicy, satisfying taste and texture of pork sausage, but with 16 grams of plant-based protein, more than that of traditional pork sausage, and 38% less saturated fat1. Unlike pork sausage, it contains no nitrates or antibiotics, and has no GMOs, soy, or gluten to boot.

\n

“Consistent with our mission to enable consumers to Eat What They Love™ while enjoying all the benefits of plant-based foods, we are excited to launch Beyond Sausage with our long-time partner Whole Foods Market” said Ethan Brown, CEO of Beyond Meat. “This is the first retail product off of our pork platform, one where we’ve invested in diversifying plant proteins and creating greater texture complexity. As with any first iteration, we are eagerly awaiting consumer feedback and hope they enjoy it as much as we do.”

\n

Beyond Meat uses their cutting-edge process to organize each ingredient to deliver against the unique texture of pork sausage. By braiding together proteins, fats, minerals, and water, Beyond Meat is able to re-create the basic architecture, and thus texture, of meat. Peas, fava beans, and rice provide the protein, trace amounts of beet juice lend the meaty red color, coconut and sunflower oil ensure mouthwatering juiciness and a 100% plant-based casing derived from algae brings it all together.

\n

“As a category leader in plant-based meats, Beyond Meat has revolutionized how consumers enjoy meat with groundbreaking products that match their animal counterparts” said Parker Brody, Global Grocery Category Manager for Whole Foods Market. “With the success of the Beyond Sausage at our Whole Foods Market Boulder location, we’re thrilled to broaden the reach to all our locations across the country, bringing Beyond Meat’s latest innovation to a national fanbase.”

\n

In addition to all Whole Foods Market stores in the U.S., Beyond Sausage will be available through Amazon Fresh as well as on the menu at Schaller’s Stube in New York City, Bareburger at Yankee Stadium (section 132), Rosamunde in San Francisco, The Moonlighter in Chicago, Wurstkuche in Los Angeles and Veggie Grill locations nationwide.

\n

Beyond Sausage’s similarity to pork sausage has already made it a popular choice for chefs and butchers alike. Since launching on the menu at NYC’s Schaller’s Stube, Beyond Sausage now accounts for 35% of the German sausage shop’s sales. Similarly, after trying Beyond Sausage for the first time, celebrity chef and restaurateur Spike Mendelsohn was inspired to use the Beyond Sausage to create his favorite Bratwurst preparation.

\n

“When I first tried Beyond Sausage, I was blown away by how closely it reminded me of pork sausage. There is both a nuance and versatility to sausage that makes it one of my favorite products to work with as a chef,” said Mendelsohn. “Beyond Sausage seamlessly swaps into any traditional pork-based recipe, offering the same satisfyingly delicious taste and juiciness but with the added health benefits of plant-based cooking.”

\n

A combination of sautéed sauerkraut, dill relish and a healthy dose of large grain mustard, step-by-step directions to create Spike’s Beyond Brat build at home can be found on the Beyond Meat website.

SIMPLE INGREDIENTS, SIMPLY DELICIOUS

\n

Beyond Sausage is the latest innovation in Beyond Meat’s portfolio of plant-based meats that include the breakout Beyond Burger, Beefy Crumbles and Chicken Strips. The Beyond Burger is the world's only burger that looks, cooks, and tastes like ground beef from cows but is made entirely from plants, without GMOs, soy, or gluten. Now available in more than 20,000 grocery stores and 7,000 restaurants nationwide, Beyond Meat’s revolutionary products are the go-to meat option for those looking for a delicious, satisfying meal, while being better for human health and the environment.

BEYOND MEAT® BRINGS BEYOND SAUSAGE TO THE WEST COAST

\n

The first plant-based sausage that looks, sizzles and satisfies like pork hits the menu at Veggie Grill and Wurstküche in Los Angeles

\n

El Segundo, CALIF. (February 28, 2018) – Beyond Meat® is expanding its footprint on the west coast with the unveiling of Beyond SausageTM in the company’s hometown LA market. After launching in New York earlier this month, the company is thrilled to make its sizzling new product readily available to local friends and family.

\n

“In keeping with our Eat What You LoveTM brand promise, I am pleased to bring to market our delicious plant-based sausage line, product innovation that provides consumers with that satiating taste and juiciness of animal sausage with the health and environmental upside of plant-based eating.” said Ethan Brown, Founder & CEO of Beyond Meat.

\n

Starting today, Angelenos across the city can enjoy the juicy satisfaction of Beyond Sausage at Veggie Grill’s El Segundo & Hollywood locations, as well as Wurstküche’s DTLA and Venice locations.

\n

“Veggie Grill has been a fantastic partner for us and is an innovator in the field. It was important to me that when we launched Beyond Sausage in LA, we did so in a way that recognized and continued our partnership,” said Brown.

\n

At Veggie Grill, fans can enjoy the Wunderbrat: A Beyond Sausage Original Bratwurst served on a Pretzilla bun with Sierra Nevada cheese sauce, caramelized onions, mustard, pickled red cabbage and crispy fries.

\n

“The VG Beyond Burger has been a consistent top-seller since launching on our menu, and we’re thrilled to expand our partnership with Beyond Meat by offering the Beyond Sausage to our plant-forward customers,” said Steve Heeley, CEO of Veggie Grill.

\n

Wurstküche, whose name is synonymous with sausage in LA, will be the only restaurant in LA serving up all three of Beyond Sausage’s irresistible flavors: Original Bratwurst, Hot Italian and Sweet Italian. The exotic sausage purveyor will feature the Beyond Sausage in the butcher case alongside their meaty counterparts.

\n

“Sausage is a time-honored tradition, and we are truly humbled to be a part of that culinary heritage and craft by partnering with Wurstküche,” added Brown. “They are an LA institution and we hope their customers, carnivores and vegetarians alike, will seek out and enjoy the benefits of Beyond Sausage.”

\n

Diners at Wurstküche can indulge in Beyond Sausage in a variety of flavor combos and builds with Wurstküche’s build-your-own menu structure which includes classic options like sauerkraut and caramelized onion, as well as more unique toppings like curry ketchup, spicy peppers and Thai peanut sauce.

\n

“We already had an existing vegetarian option on the menu but its taste, texture and appearance didn’t come close to that of Beyond Sausage or delivering against traditional pork sausage,” said Wurstküche founder and co-owner Tyler Wilson. “Beyond Sausage is a game-changer and the first of its kind; we think our customers will be blown away when they try it.”

\n

Hailed as a miracle of meatiness, Beyond Sausage is the first sausage you actually want to know how it’s made. A blend of pea, fava bean and rice provide the protein, while trace amounts of beet juice lend the meaty red color. Coconut oil ensures mouth-watering juiciness, all wrapped in a 100% plant-based casing derived from algae. A first of its kind, Beyond Sausage has no GMOs, soy or gluten.

\n

Throughout 2018, Beyond Sausage will continue to pop up around the country, soon satisfying the cravings of sausage lovers nationwide. For more information, visit www.beyondmeat.com.

BEYOND MEAT ANNOUNCES NEW STATE-OF-THE-ART INNOVATION CENTER IN LOS ANGELES, EXPANDING RESEARCH FOOTPRINT BY SEVEN-FOLD

\n

The New Home for the Company’s Manhattan Beach Project, the Center Will Further Fuel Progress Toward a Perfect Build of Meat Directly from Plants

\n

EL SEGUNDO, Calif.--Working to unlock the Future of Protein™, plant-based meat purveyor Beyond Meat announced the building of a new 26,000 square foot research and development center at their headquarters in El Segundo. The new facility will house more than 100 employees, and is the new home to Beyond Meat’s Manhattan Beach Project, the company’s on-going initiative to bring the best and brightest scientists, engineers, food technologists, chefs, and researchers together in service to a single goal: perfectly build a piece of meat directly from plants.

\n

“The expansion of the Manhattan Beach Project here in Los Angeles reflects our belief that building meat from plants is an opportunity of global importance, one that is deserving of investment levels consistent with what you’d find in alternative energy or health sciences, sectors with which we certainly share common goals,” said Ethan Brown, Beyond Meat CEO and founder. “We are seeing a record number of consumers expressing interest in a broader set of protein choices; to these consumers, it is our brand promise to enable them to eat what they love, from burgers to sausage, while feeling great about related health and environmental implications. The new center is designed to help us fulfill that promise to the best of our abilities.”

\n

The center is seven-times the size of the existing facilities and will serve as the foundation of Beyond Meat’s commitment to innovation through accelerated experimentation, learnings, and progress toward the goal of building plant-based meat that is indistinguishable from its animal-based equivalent.

\n

Given Beyond Meat’s mission-driven focus includes improving human health, it’s not surprising that 90% of Beyond Meat’s R&D staff come from biomedical research. Reimagining the use of existing imaging technologies toward a better understanding of the complexity of meat, and applying this knowledge to rebuild meat from plant material, is a key focus for the Beyond Meat team.

\n

“We are leaving no stone unturned in our efforts to perfectly build meat directly from plant materials, using only natural ingredients and without genetic modification. The breadth of processes and technologies we are bringing in-house supports the company’s focus on rapid innovation, in some cases reducing timelines by half,” said Dr. Dariush Ajami, who leads Research and Development at Beyond Meat.

\n

Complementing the efforts on the R&D side will be a cutting-edge gourmet kitchen to host chefs and culinary experts, as well as a formal sensory space for real-time consumer testing and panels. Keeping a close pulse on shifting consumer preferences and trends will allow Beyond Meat to stay at the forefront of producing cutting edge products.

\n

A Sizzling Sensation

\n

“Consumer adoption of our plant-based meats is quickening month over month. Once people learn first-hand that they can enjoy the delicious upsides of meat while capturing the health and environmental benefits of plant-based eating, consistent use comes down to availability.” said Ethan Brown, CEO and founder of Beyond Meat. “I could not be more pleased that an iconic global restaurant brand, TGI Fridays, is adding The Beyond Burger to their menu.”

\n

Starting today, The Beyond Burger will be featured on the TGI Fridays menu as The Beyond Meat Burger and features a 6-oz. patty seasoned, grilled and topped with white cheddar, lettuce, tomato, red onion, pickles and FridaysTM sauce to appeal to heartier appetites. The Beyond Burger patty can be substituted for any existing builds from the TGI Fridays Burger Bar menu, served on the Challah Bun or “Green Style” on crispy green lettuce leaves without cheese or FridaysTM sauce for a vegan-friendly option.

\n

TGI Fridays is joining a growing number of restaurants, hotels, colleges, sports teams and grocery stores to carry The Beyond Burger. Since May, distribution of The Beyond Burger has seen triple digit growth and is now available at more than 9,000 food service and retail outlets nationwide.

When we think “muscle,” we usually think protein. And, for people on a plant-based diet, that means beans, legumes, tofu, seitan, nuts, and other protein-packed foods. But protein isn’t the only thing necessary for building muscle. Your body needs a variety of vitamins, minerals, and nutrients to facilitate the muscle building process and stay healthy. If this is something you’re looking for, consider adding these plants to your diet.

\n
\n

Kiwis

\n

Kiwis are one of the best sources of Vitamin C, with a single kiwi providing about 106% of your RDA and containing twice the Vitamin C as a lemon. Vitamin C is very important for blood vessel health, which is important for delivering oxygen and nutrients to muscles.Vitamin C is also the building block of collagen, which the body uses to build muscles and bones.

\n
\n

Flax Seeds

\n

Flax seeds are one of the best sources of Omega 3, which is important for literally every single cell function in your body. They keep your nervous system working, fight off inflammation, and make up cell membranes. Omega 3 also has a vital role in helping you build muscle by reducing protein breakdown. It also reduces inflammation, which means your muscles can recover faster after workouts. Sprinkle some flax seeds over your meal for a mild taste plus all the added benefits!

\n
\n

Kale

\n

Kale, along with other cruciferous greens like chart and broccoli, is a great bioavailable source of calcium. Calcium is a mineral which cues your muscles to contract.And, if your muscles aren’t contracting (think a workout in the gym), then they aren’t going to grow.

\n

Kale is also loaded with iron, which is needed to transport oxygen to the muscles. Other great sources of iron include whole grains, seeds, and leafy greens. Eat iron-rich foods with some vitamin C to increase absorption.

\n
\n

Almonds

\n

Aside from being a good source of protein, almonds are also a good source of Vitamin E, which helps cell membranes recover from oxidative stress. Your muscles will definitely be stressed after a good workout and a handful of almonds will help them recover faster.

\n
\n

Brazil Nuts

\n

Brazil nuts are a great source of selenium, which protects your body from free radical damage that can occur after weight lifting. Sunflower seeds and whole grains are also wonderful plant-based sources of selenium.

\n
\n

Peanuts

\n

Peanuts are a good source of copper. Copper has many roles in the body, including protecting cardiovascular health and the nervous system, as well as strengthening the skeletal system. For muscle building, it is also important in strengthening tendons which are needed to weight train.

\n
\n

Bran

\n

It is estimated that 60 to 80% of Americans are deficient in magnesium, which is a vital mineral with many roles in the body. Magnesium is needed to build muscle because it helps the muscles contract. If you are experiencing muscle cramps, try boosting your magnesium to prevent this problem. Bran, while admittedly not one of the tastiest foods, is one of the best sources of magnesium. Just a single ounce of wheat bran has 43% of your RDA for magnesium. Other good sources include garlic and leafy greens.

Did you think that BBQing was just for meat and veggies? You’re in for a pleasant surprise. Fruit can actually be really amazing on the grill, because it brings out their flavors when the natural sugars caramelize. If you are grilling on charcoal, the smoky flavor can infuse the fruit and produce a whole new taste sensation as well. Lots of fruits work wonderfully on the grill, but these ones are exceptionally good.

\n
\n

Pineapple

\n

Pineapple is one of the easiest fruits to grill because it is dense and won’t fall apart. The natural sugars also taste especially amazing once grilled. For some extra flair, try coating with brown sugar or agave and cinnamon before grilling. Get Veg Kitchen’s recipe here.

\n

\n
\n

Papaya

\n

Papayas are also easier to grill because of their density. They are also large, which means less flipping. Squeeze some lime juice on the papaya before grilling and you’ll be in heaven! You can also marinate them in lime and mint, in a concoction of ginger and sugar, or take it a step further by adding a stuffing. Click here to see My Kitchen Love’s recipe!

Peaches

\n

Just cut a peach in half, remove the pit, and grill. Remember to pay attention to these because they grill fast! Serve with ice cream for a fancy BBQ dessert. If you don’t have peaches, you can also grill other soft stone fruits like plums and nectarines. Check out the recipe by What’s Gaby Cooking here.

Watermelon

\n

Watermelon is a classic BBQ food, but most people don’t think to put it on the grill. Just be careful while grilling as the water from the melon can spray out and burn you. Top with some grilled chili pepper for a real treat. Or, chop up the grilled watermelon and turn it into a salsa- the possibilities are endless! Get the recipe here by Savory Nothings.

\n

Cantaloupe

\n

Cantaloupe is a vastly underappreciated melon because it isn’t as sweet as its cousins the watermelon and honeydew. Put it on the grill though, and you will be able to bring out its natural flavors in a delicious way. To grill cantaloupe, cut it into crescents about 1 inch thick and grill with a dash of honey and lime for flavor. Or, for a savory treat, cut into chunks and put onto kabobs with red onion.

Helpful Tips for Grilling Fruit

\n

-Make sure the grill is clean before grilling your fruit, otherwise they will stick! Plus, the fruit might taste a bit funky with BBQ drippings stuck to it.

\n

-Brush the fruit with an oil or coating before grilling to prevent sticking and enhance flavor.

\n

-If you haven’t grilled fruit before, start with harder fruits which are less likely to attach to the grill.

\n

-With softer fruits like peaches, place them on indirect heat (near the edges) and keep a careful watch. They grill quickly!

\n

-Leave the peels on when you can– it will help hold the fruit together.

\n

-Try putting fruit on kabobs with your veggies and savory ingredients. The fruit juices will impart their flavors into the other foods on the kabob for a unique, delicious flavor.

\n

-You can marinate fruit. Put in cold water with seasonings like cinnamon, brown sugar and nutmeg, or chili and lime. You can also marinate with wine! Just make sure the marinade is cold to prevent the fruit from breaking down.

\n

-Grilled fruit is prefect to serve for dessert. Top with (vegan) ice cream and chopped nuts to really impress your guests.

Global meat consumption is steadily growing. Over the last 60 years or so, it has risen from 44 million to 284 million tons, with annual consumption per person increasing to more than 90 pounds. Meat consumption and production is expected to double by 2020 due to both a spike in the global human population and amount of meat consumed per person. The intake of dairy products and eggs mirrors this trend. So how efficient is meat production in terms of resource use and protein provision? The idea that the meat industry exhausts resources is not a new finding, but many individuals still reject this statement on the basis that there isn’t solid proof to confirm it. For anyone out there who remains skeptical, take a look at these pieces of information.

\n

Meat Production Trends

\n

Rich, developed countries tend to consume more meat than developing nations. Generally, when people earn more, their consumption of meat and animal products increases accordingly. Developing nations tend to practice subsistence farming methods, raising free-ranging livestock on small farms, which they harvest for their own consumption or barter for other wares. As income levels rise and the demand for meat increases, livestock farming tends to become more automated, to the point where it has now become industrialized – we are literally factory farming animals for meat. This being said, there is a noticeable shift showing that many higher income groups are reducing their meat intake and favor more quality-oriented, plant-based, and specialty items.

\n

Inefficient Resource Use

\n

In order to be fattened for the table, these intensively farmed animals must be fed. Factory farmed animals are given a grain-based diet originating from crops grown on agricultural land. The Earth Policy Institute estimates that approximately 35% of the world’s grain harvest is used to raise livestock for human consumption. This food could be used to directly feed the populations in starvation, which ignites debate over the ethical dimensions of meat production for wealthier regions.

\n

The efficiency at which grain is converted into animal protein varies between different livestock species. According to data from World on the Edge by Lester R. Brown:

\n

• Grain-fed beef have to consume approximately 7 pounds of grain to produce 1-pound of live-weight beef, and consequently is one of the most inefficient converters of grain. Beef production, much of which is farmed on rangelands, has increased by approximately 1% annually since 1990.

\n

• It takes more than 3 pounds of grain to produce 1-pound of live-weight pork. World pork production, which has grown by 2% a year since 1990 with half of it now being produced in China (Mainland), surpassed beef production in 1979 with the gap having gotten wider since.

\n

• It takes slightly more than 2 pounds of grain to produce 1-pound live-weight poultry. Global poultry production has seen a swift increase of 4% per annum over the last few decades. It overtook beef production in 1995 and is currently the second highest meat product consumed after pork.

\n

Aquaculture, the fastest-growing animal protein being produced, is rapidly expanding throughout the world and may overtake beef production in the near future as well. Herbivorous fish species such carp, catfish and tilapia, require less than 2 pounds of grain to produce 1-pound of live-weight fish, making it a more efficient converter of grain to animal protein than others. However, this grain used to feed fish is not what they would normally consume in the wild. Fish are also often fed leftover livestock scraps including pork and beef, which is a drastic and unsafe departure from their natural diet.

\n

Due to all of this grain needed to feed livestock for meat, it is estimated that meat contains a minimum of 15 times more pesticides than vegetables (if not more) from all the chemicals involved in producing mass quantities of grain.

\n

Water Consumption. This is a huge one. A range of 1,800 to 5,000 gallons of water are required to produce just 1 pound of beef, compared to the 257 gallons needed to produce the same amount of soybeans (an inexpensive source of versatile plant protein). With the modern scarcity of water, this aspect is often overlooked but extremely relevant.

\n

The most efficient use of grain would be to eat it directly, rather than indirectly by consuming livestock raised on it. For those with the argument that “grain isn’t food, it’s what food eats”, a basic assessment of the macro/micronutrient content of a balanced plant-based meal consistently offers equal or superior protein and nutrients, without the negative aspects including unhealthy forms of cholesterol, bacteria, ammonia, hormones, carbon monoxide, and other harmful presences. Modern doctors and nutritionists continue to reinforce that humans can obtain all the essential nutrients of a healthy diet without the animal. Example: equal ounces of black beans to beef contains the same protein content plus higher fiber and phytonutrients in the beans, but without the unhealthy fats and negative health effects. This is just one of countless comparisons reinforcing that plant-based options are not inferior or lacking substance.

\n

Still Unsure?

\n

Some individuals may still regard this information as false or hard to comprehend. Keep in mind that subsidies are part of the reason why meat seems so affordable- to put this in perspective, one pound of burger meat would cost $30 if not for government subsidies, while fresh fruit and veggies are regarded by the USDA as ‘specialty crops’ and not given anywhere near even a fraction of the financial supplementation.

Traditionally, a BBQ grill is rubbed with a piece of animal fat to prevent food from sticking to it while cooking. Obviously, this isn’t going to fly with vegetarians! Here are some ways to make your grill non-stick without using animal fat.

\n

Oil

\n

This is the obvious alternative to animal fat for greasing a grill but, honestly, it doesn’t always work that well. The main reason is because oil will carbonize and smoke at high temperatures.  Most of us aren’t that good at controlling the heat of a grill, which is supposed to be hot anyway, so the oil method sometimes fails.  For best results, make sure you are using an oil which has a high burning temperature (canola is a good choice).

\n

Oil can also be hazardous to use as a grill lubricant. If it drips onto the hot below, it can flame up. To grease a grill with oil, dip a paper towel in oil. Make sure it isn’t so wet it is dripping. Using tongs, quickly drag the oily paper towel over the hot grill.  You should repeat this several times to ensure the grill is adequately lubricated.

\n

DO NOT use spray oil! Not only is aerosol really bad for the environment, but droplets of aerosolized oil can turn into fireballs when they hit the flame.

\n

Oil Your Food Instead of the Grill

\n

A lot of die-hard grillers insist that you should oil your food and not the grill. When you put the oiled food on the grill, it fills the tiny cracks and nooks in the grill and the food, making a barrier between them which prevents sticking. The oil on the food also helps trap moisture inside the food so it stays juicy.   You can use a brush to coat your food before grilling it. Or, better yet, marinade your food in an oil-based marinade the night before. This way you can be sure the oil soaked into the food and also add some flavor.

\n

Onion

\n

This is a tip I picked up from Skip to My Lou. All you need to do is cut an onion in half and rub in on the heated grill before you put food down. Yes, it really works!

\n

 

\n

Clean Your Grill!

\n

No matter what sort of lubricant you use for your grill, food is bound to stick to it if it is dirty. So, take the time to clean off all that gunk stuck to the grate from your last BBQ. Tip: It is easier to clean a grill when it is hot. If you don’t have a grill brush, then you can use tongs and a piece of balled-up tinfoil.

\n

Other Tips:

\n

Don’t put food on a grill before the grill is hot. Otherwise, it will definitely stick.

\n

Don’t touch or flip the food before it is cooked. The food should naturally release from the grill as it is cooked. This is because water vapor will dissipate from the food and the steam will eventually cause the food to lift off the grill.

\n

Bring food to room temperature before you put it on the grill. Cold food is more likely to stick.

What is one of the most commonly-cited excuses for still eating meat (despite all the reports showing how meat is destroying our health and environment)?  It is this:

\n

Humans were meant to eat meat.

\n

In fact, this claim is so strong that it has even spawned several trend diets which are based on eating mass amounts of meat.  Yes, I am talking about the uber-trendy Paleo Diet, Primal Diet, and Weston A. Price Diets.

\n

If you’ve ever been to a museum of natural history, you’ve probably seen those dioramas of cavemen sitting around a fire, surrounded by bones from some freshly-killed mammoth.  Heck, I’ve even seen some dioramas where the cavemen are in action with spears in their hands.  If you haven’t seen these, then you’ve undoubtedly seen the TV versions which give you even more dramatic details into the flesh-eating, hunting lives of our ancestors.  Judging by all this, it is no wonder that people presume our paleo ancestors were gorging on a diet of mostly meat, supplemented by some foraged tubers and berries for good measure.  So, it may come as a surprise to find out that our prehistoric ancestors might not have subsisted on a mostly-meat diet.  And, even if they did, this is still no reason to eat meat.

\n

First off, I want to clarify that the term “paleo” to describe a diet is pretty ridiculous because the paleo era spanned for so long (from 10 thousand to 2.6 million years ago).  It also spanned the entire planet, and obviously primitive people were eating different things depending on where they were on the planet then.  But, for the sake of argument, let’s overlook this.

\n

We Don’t Really Know What Our Ancestors Ate

\n

The whole basis of the Paleo diet is that we should eat like our ancestors did.  The idea is that we evolved to eat this way and thus it must be what is best for our bodies.  And since we have “evidence” that our ancestors mostly ate meat, that must be what we should eat. This sounds sensible, right?

\n

Well, we really don’t know as much about what our ancestors ate as those museum exhibits would have you think.  Here’s just one example: We used to assume that Neanderthal (one of our closest relatives) was mostly a meat eater.  Then, in 2012, evidence appeared showing that Neanderthal ate a lot more plant food than we thought.  The evidence even shows that Neandrathal was cooking food.  Why did we mistakenly think Neanderthal was basically a carnivore?  Could it have something to do with the fact that evidence of eating meat (like bones) survives the test of time a lot better than the evidence of eating plants?

\n

But New Technology Shows They Ate a Lot More Plants than We Thought…

\n

Technology has gotten to the point that we can figure out what our ancestors ate without just looking at the remnants of their trash piles.  An article in Discovery Magazine goes over it very well.  Interestingly, methods like carbon analysis of bones show that early human ancestors actually ate grains – and they started doing so around 2.9 to 3.9 million years ago!  You hear that paleo diet people?  Our ancestors ate grains!

\n

But wait you say, you are going too far back.  It is our earlier homo ancestors we should be looking at…

\n

Therein lies the problem in using “our ancestors” as a basis of what our “best” diet is.  Which ancestor should we be looking at?

\n

We Weren’t “Meant” to Eat Any Diet

\n

In his controversial article in the Scientific American entitled “Human Ancestors Were Nearly All Vegetarians”., Mark Dunn delves into just how ridiculous it is to try to eat like our ancestors.  He asks the pertinent question of “which paleo diet should we eat?”

\n

“I would argue that, IF we want to return to our ancestral diets, we might reasonably eat what our ancestors spent the most time eating during the largest periods of the evolution of our guts. If that is the case, we need to be eating fruits, nuts, and vegetables—especially, fungus-covered, tropical, leaves.”

\n

He goes on to say that the only thing which would convince him that we should be eating some presumably ancestral diet is if there were evidence that we humans had somewhere along the lines rapidly evolved to eat diets specialized in meat.  Yes, early humans did start eating more meat at a certain point in their histories.  Experts have even attributed eating protein-rich meat to giving mankind enough energy for their larger brains (human brains require 20% more energy than primate brains).  But this doesn’t mean that humans evolved to eat meat.  As Dunn points out, early humans were also evolving to eat plant-based foods at the same time.  There isn’t any evidence showing that humans evolved to digest meat better, but there is plenty of evidence showing that humans evolved to deal with agriculture – like the genes for digesting seaweed in Japanese people and gut changes from eating grains.

\n

If anything made us human, it wasn’t our ability to eat meat.  It was our ability to eat a variety of foods based on what was available.  For Inuit people, this meant eating mostly fatty meats from whales, seals, dolphins, etc.  For the Northwest Indians, this meant eating a diet high in fish.  For Havivuh Indians, the diet was mostly corn…

\n

It sounds to me like our ancestors were really flexitarians: eating the best foods which were available to them.  We have a lot more choices than our ancestors, so why would you only want to eat what you assume they ate (and presume was good for them)?  Considering the fact that modern evidence shows that eating meat is linked to heart disease, cancer, obesity, and numerous other health problems, I think I will stick to my vegetarian diet which is rich in whole grains, plant proteins, and fresh fruits and vegetables.

If you’ve ever been to a gym in the USA, then you’ve probably had to endure all the talk about the best whey protein powders, how to make a steak smoothie, and intense arguments about the merits of chicken vs. turkey.

\n

As someone on a plant-based diet, this environment can be frustrating, to say the least.

\n

And it doesn’t help when your personal trainer scoffs at the idea of not eating meat.

\n

There are now plenty of plant-based trainers and you can even find an online directly of plant-based personal trainers here. So, if you find your personal trainer is very unsupportive, then you might consider switching. In the meantime, be aware of these myths and facts that your personal trainer probably won’t tell you about plant-based nutrition.

\n
\n

You Don’t Really Need that Much Protein

\n

This one doesn’t just apply to vegetarians and vegans, but to omnivores too. The current RDA for protein is 0.4 to 0.9 grams per pound of body weight. This means that the average adult only needs about 46-56 grams of protein per day.

\n

Yet, somewhere along the line, gym buffs have gotten the idea that they need 1 gram of protein per day. Some even argue that they need more than this.

\n

As Bayesian Bodybuilding points out, the idea of 1g/lb protein is a myth. He analyzes the scientific literature on the subject and found that,

\n

“There is normally no advantage to consuming more than 0.82g/lb (1.8g/kg) of protein per day to preserve or build muscle. This already includes a very safe mark-up. There hasn’t been any recorded advantage of consuming more than 0.64g/lb. The only exceptions to this rule could be individuals with extraordinarily high anabolic hormone levels.”

\n

There is nothing wrong with eating more protein, but it is just going to get stored as energy (aka fat).

\n
\n

Plant Protein Is Just As Good As Animal Protein

\n

Your personal trainer might concede that it is possible to get enough protein on a plant-based diet, but then go on to say that plant proteins are inferior to animal proteins.

\n

This myth is based in the fact that few plant proteins are “complete,” meaning that they lack an essential amino acid. For starters, there are plenty of complete plant proteins (hemp, soy, chia, and pepitas are just a few of them). Even if you aren’t eating these foods, getting enough amino acids shouldn’t be a problem. What one food lacks, another food will have. Just eat a variety of plant proteins throughout the day and you should be fine.

\n
\n

But There Are Other Nutrients You Should Monitor

\n

With all of the talk surrounding protein at the gym, it is easy to overlook the nutrients which you really should be paying attention to.

\n

Iron, zinc, calcium, and B12 can problematic for people on plant-based diets, especially if they are in training and have higher nutritional needs. Some nutrients from plant-based sources also are not absorbed as well.

\n

What should you do? Make sure to eat a lot of green veggies – preferably at every meal. You can also make a mean green smoothie after your workout too. And, just to play it safe, remember to have a nutrient panel blood test done to see if you are missing any important macro or micronutrients.

Somewhere down the line in history, people got the idea that meat is the only food which contains any significant amount of protein. Hence why vegetarians are always getting asked the question “where do you get your protein?”– even though it is actually very easy to get enough protein on a vegetarian or even vegan diet. To put this in perspective, consider that a cup of lentils has about 18g of protein, so it would take less than 3 cups of lentils to get your protein RDA. Even foods like bananas and spinach contain some protein.

\n

But some people have taken the argument further by saying things like, “but plants aren’t complete proteins” and imply that, even though plants do contain protein, that this protein is somehow inferior. So let’s look at what the real differences between plant and animal proteins are.

\n

What Are Proteins?

\n

A protein is one of the primary building blocks of your body. They are what make up muscle, bone, skin, hair and many other tissues in your body. If we don’t count water, then 75% of our bodies by weight are made up of protein.

\n

There are over 10,000 different types of proteins in our bodies.This number is a bit misleading though, because all of those different proteins are made up of the same 22 amino acids (some sources will say it is 20 amino acids). Amino acids are the building blocks of protein, and they link together in different ways. Depending on how the amino acids are linked, a different protein will be formed.

\n

Of the 22 amino acids humans use, 9 of them are considered “essential” and the rest are “non essential.” (Note some sources say there are 8 essential amino acids) Just because the rest are non-essential, it doesn’t mean we don’t need them. It just means that our bodies can produce them on their own from the essential amino acids. Our bodies cannot create essential amino acids, so we need to get these from food sources.

\n

What Happens When We Eat Protein?

\n

When you eat a food with protein in it (and almost all foods contain some amount of protein – even salad!), your body breaks down the protein into its amino acids.These amino acids are then sent through the body.The amino acids are recombined to create new proteins (remember, there are 10,000+ different types of protein in your body!). So, some of the veggie burger you ate turns into muscle proteins, some into hair proteins, some into hormone proteins, and so on.

\n

Is There Really A Difference between Animal and Plant Proteins?

\n

In terms of components, there is no different between animal and plant proteins.They are both made up of amino acids, and they both contain the same 22 amino acids. However, the ratio of these amino acids is different.

\n

It is commonly cited that “plant foods aren’t complete proteins,” meaning that they don’t contain all of the essential amino acids.Well, this isn’t exactly true because there are plenty of vegan complete proteins, like pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, and hemp seeds. But it is true that meat is more likely to contain all the essential amino acids.

\n

Does this mean that vegetarians and vegans won’t be able to get all of their essential amino acids? Absolutely not.

\n

Most people don’t eat the same thing all day long. So, while it may be true that peas are lacking in the essential amino acid methionine, foods like peppers, spinach, shallots, and tomatoes all contain this amino acid. So long as you eat a variety of foods, you are bound to get all of the essential amino acids you need.

\n

*There is no need to get all amino acids during the same meal! So, you don’t have to worry about complex protein combinations to get all your amino acids. Just eat a variety of food throughout the day. Besides, who likes to eat nothing but peas all day long?

\n

Calories, Cholesterol, and Saturated Fat

\n

While there really aren’t any differences between plant and animal protein in terms of components (just different arrangements and ratios of amino acids), there are differences in what else accompanies the proteins.

\n

Meat is notoriously high in calories, cholesterol, and saturated fat – all of which is accredited to growing health problems like obesity and heart disease (okay, the cholesterol one is now controversial, but excess calories and fat are definitely no bueno).

\n

To put this in perspective, when we compare a gram of protein from lentils with gram of protein from 85% lean beef:

\n

A gram of beef protein contains 14.25 times more fat than a gram of protein from lentils

\n

A gram of beef protein contains 23 times more saturated fat than a gram of protein from lentils.

\n

There may be even more harmful compounds in meat as well. Studies have long shown a link between consumption of red meat and cancer. Recently, scientists think they have found the culprit in red meat which causes cancer. They found a link between cancer and a molecule found in red meat. The molecule, Neu5Gc, is found in high amounts in beef, bison, lamb, and pork. It is not found in fruits and vegetables. The molecule triggers an inflammation response, which can lead to long-term inflammation and tumor growth.

\n

There are also other studies which indicate that consuming high amounts of meat can be dangerous for your health or cause cancer, such as Heterocyclic amines (HCAs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) which form when meat is cooked at high temperatures, or the calcium which is released when high amounts of sulfur-containing meat is consumed.

\n

The bottom line? Vegetarians and vegans may need to worry about some nutrients like iron and B12, but protein probably isn’t going to be an issue. You can easily get enough protein and essential amino acids on a plant-based diet, and you will probably experience some health benefits too!

If you’ve spent time in a vegan kitchen, you know that a wide range of foods are open for enjoyment. However, it is true that a lot of vegans tend to load up on tofu. For those of us who have had enough of it lately, are allergic to soy, or are just looking to eat more varied sources of protein, here are some great tofu alternatives you can use in your favorite vegan dishes.

\n
\n

Breakfast Scrambles

\n

Tofu scramble is a great staple dish to know how to make. It’s really simple: just sauté some veggies with tofu and add turmeric to make it yellow, plus the added anti-inflammatory miracle that turmeric offers. You can create an incredible soy-free scramble using chickpea flour, which is also packed full of protein! If you have agar agar on hand (a type of seaweed), you can mix it with plant milk to make an egg-like scramble too. Find this recipe at Nouveau Raw here!

\n

 

\n
\n

Beyond Meat Beefy Crumbles, Swedish Meatballs, and Beyond Burger

\n

Beyond Meat is one of the few companies which makes soy-free meat alternatives. It doesn’t hurt that it’s also darn tasty and convincing enough to fool the carnivores in your life. You can easily use these in recipes which call for tofu, meat, or any dense protein element.

\n
\n

Stir-Fry

\n

Stir-fry is a versatile meal and can be adjusted based on whatever veggies you have in the house. Instead of using tofu for the stir-fry, just add another high-protein element such as seitan, lentils, beans, or a soy-free meat analogue.

Grilling Recipes

\n

Having a BBQ? You don’t have to throw tofu on the grill or your kebabs. You can, of course, grill up all sorts of vegetables instead – portobello mushrooms are particularly meaty. Don’t forget to experiment with grilling fruits too. Instead of a soy-based veggie burger, you could eat the 100% soy-free Beyond Burger. Also, you can always make your own plant burgers out of beans, lentils, or chickpeas.

\n

 

\n
\n

Creamy Desserts

\n

Silken tofu is commonly used to make vegan pudding, mousse, and other creamy desserts. Instead, you can use creamed banana (like in this banana pudding recipe from Fab Haute Mama), coconut cream (in this peanut butter mousse recipe from Minimalist Baker), chickpeas (yes, seriously!– in this recipe for Mousse au chocolat from Mouthwatering Vegan), or avocado (like this recipe for avocado chocolate pudding from The Pretty Bee).

\n

Dairy-Free Ricotta

\n

You can veganize classic cheesy dishes by making plant-based ricotta. This ricotta can also be made easily without tofu using almonds. Just soak 2 cups of blanched almonds for 8-12 hours. Then drain and blend them with 1 cup of water and a pinch of salt. Check out the recipe here by Yup It’s Vegan!

You love basting with BBQ sauce. But there is no reason that you should reserve BBQ sauce just for the grill! Here are 7 creative ways that you can use BBQ sauce in the kitchen every day.

\n
\n

Mix with Mayo for a Tasty Condiment

\n

You can turn any basic mayo into a gourmet delicacy by adding seasonings. A dollop of BBQ sauce tastes great in mayo. You can also try experimenting with curry powder, horseradish, jalapeños, garlic, or minced herbs.

\n
\n

Use as a Dipping Sauce for French Fries

\n

Take your French fries up a notch by eating them with BBQ sauce instead of ketchup. Even better, make sweet potato fries. The sweetness tastes particularly good with a smoky BBQ sauce. Get the recipe here by Paleo Running Momma.

Slather on a Grilled Cheese Sandwich

\n

It seems unexpected to put BBQ sauce on a grilled cheese, but it adds the perfect kick to an otherwise simple bite. While you are at it, put some steamed Swiss chard in the sandwich too for some iron, calcium, and other leafy green nutrients.

\n
\n

Use Instead of Tomato Sauce on Pizza

\n

Slather a thin layer of BBQ sauce on pizza dough and then top with your favorite cheese, Beyond Meat chicken-less strips, green bell peppers, and corn (or whatever combination you fancy). Check out this recipe for BBQ pizza!

\n

 

\n
\n

Put into Your Rice and Beans

\n

Tired of the same rice and beans? Add a spoonful of BBQ sauce right before it is finished cooking. Its smoky flavor adds the perfect note of sweetness and flavor! Check out the recipe here by Just a Pinch.

\n

\"Barbecue

\n
\n

BBQ Nachos

\n

Get some extra flavor into your nacho plate with a BBQ kick. Throw some tortilla chips, tomatoes, fresh parsley, jalapeños, and cheese into an oven-safe dish for a crunchy dish that’s tailored exactly to your liking. Get the recipe here by Two City Vegans!

\n

 

\n
\n

Glaze Fruit

\n

Sweet and smoky flavors go really well together, so don’t be afraid to try putting BBQ sauce on fruits like peaches or pineapple. You can cook the glazed fruit on the grill (leave the skins on and keep careful watch because it cooks quickly!). Or, if you don’t want to fire up the grill, roast them in the over at 400 degrees for about 10-15 minutes (until soft). Serve on top of a bed of greens or enjoy on their own. Click here for the recipe by Delish for inspiration!

When you fuel your body with healthy snacks after your workouts, you not only curb hunger but also provide your body with the energy it needs to repair itself for the next workout. A post-workout snack helps your body repair muscle tissues and replenish glycogen stores depleted after strenuous exercise. Try fueling your body within 30 minutes of ending your workout with something high in carbohydrates, moderate in protein and low in fat. The following are some delicious and satisfying veg-friendly snacks that will help your body recover and prepare you for your next great workout!

Non-Dairy Yogurt & Fruit

\n

A dairy-free yogurt along with some berries provides a boost of carbs, fiber, antioxidants and vitamins. It’s also a great way to help out your digestion because of the probiotics. To learn how to make your own, check out this dairy-free greek yogurt recipe by Catching Seeds here!

\n

Nuts & Dried Fruit

\n

This snack is pretty calorie dense so you won’t need more than a handful or two. You’ll get healthy fats, protein and the dried fruit offers fiber and carbs. This snack stores well in a gym bag since no refrigeration is needed and it won’t get squished like a banana.

\n
\n

Cereal & Milk

\n

Yes, even if your workout isn’t in the morning, this snack is a high fiber, low sugar, low fat alternative to an energy bar. Be sure to watch your portion size and choose a healthy cereal. Use your favorite non-dairy milk to make this recovery meal vegan friendly! If you’re looking to boost your protein intake, try a pea protein milk like Ripple!

\n
\n

Hummus with Veggies

\n

This savory snack adds a punch of flavor and protein. Try carrots or cucumber to pair with the hummus to replenish lost water and electrolytes from your workout, along with a satisfying savory taste.

\n
\n

Apples & Almond Butter

\n

Simple and gym bag appropriate, this snack has hunger-fighting fiber and adds a kick of antioxidants. The almond butter provides protein and complements the sweet apple perfectly. If almond butter isn’t your thing, swap it out for peanut butter or the nutty spread of your choice!

This is something that inevitably happens to all vegetarians at some point: they are with their non-vegetarian friends/date/family and the time comes to eat something. The non-vegetarian balks at the idea of eating a vegetarian meal and chaos ensue.

\n

What do you do in these situations? With the right amount of tact, it is possible to get even the most adamant carnivore to eat vegetarian – and enjoy it too.

\n

Don’t Try to Convert Anyone

\n

First off, never try to convert anyone over to your diet. You will probably just end up making the person feel defensive and thus less open about trying your veggie foods. Instead, just back off and lead by example.

\n

Buy a Cookbook and Start Planning Meals Together

\n

If you are a vegetarian and the rest of your family is carnivorous, then mealtimes can be particularly challenging. Chances are they won’t be too happy about having their usual burgers replaced with soy burgers, or the seeing “weird” dishes suddenly appearing on the table. Don’t give up and think you’ve got to make separate meals for everybody! Instead, use your diet differences as a way to come together.

\n

Buy a few vegetarian cookbooks and sit down with the family to look through them. Pick out some dishes which look appealing to everyone and test them out. If you really want to bring the family together, then cook the meals together too! Your family won’t be angry with you for changing up their meal routine if they’ve had a say in it.

\n

Make Sure the Food is Filling

\n

One of the biggest complaints that carnivores have about veg food is that it isn’t filling enough. For people who are used to chowing down on a quarter pound of steak (which contains about 23 grams of fat and 320 calories!), the lower-calorie veg options very well may not be filling enough. So, when cooking for carnivores, make sure you have something very filling on the menu, like potatoes and generous amounts of veg protein.

\n

Be Creative with the Mock Meats

\n

There are some really great mock meat products out there. Some of them can even fool people, like when Beyond Meat’s mock chicken fooled NY Times food critic Mark Bittman. Despite this, I wouldn’t recommend serving a hunk of mock meat on a plate and expecting your carnivorous friend to be happy. The carnivore will undoubtedly say something like, “it’s good, but it’s not like the real thing”.

\n

Instead, get a bit creative with the mock meat so the carnivore isn’t making a direct comparison between plain meat and plain mock meat. For example, try making some stuffed peppers with mock meat, or putting some mock meat in your pasta sauce.

\n

When Eating Out, Opt for Ethnic

\n

If you try to take a meat lover to an all-vegetarian restaurant, the carnivore is probably going to be really unsatisfied with the menu full of various tofu plates and steamed veggies. It isn’t that the food doesn’t taste good – it’s just that the carnivore is always going to think of a “real” burger when biting into that soy burger.

\n

I’ve found that the best solution for vegetarians and carnivores when eating out is ethnic restaurants, like Chinese or Indian. These restaurants will usually have something for everyone. Even if the restaurant is all veg, carnivores probably won’t have a problem with it because they are expecting something exotic and unusual.

Reducing your carbon footprint and staving off global warming doesn’t have to mean drastic lifestyle changes.  With these simple changes, you can do your part for the environment.

\n

Eat Less (or No!) Meat

\n

When we talk about stopping climate change, we usually talk about alternative energy.  But it is really our diets which are contributing to climate change the most.  Livestock alone is responsible for about 51% of greenhouse gases! By switching swapping out our least eco-friendly foods for better alternatives, we could almost stop climate change in its tracks.  If you love the planet and want your kids to have a future, you will cut meat out of your diet.  But you love meat too?  Then switch to eco-friendly alternatives like Beyond Meat’s “Chicken” and “Beef” crumbles.

\n

Worms Are Your Friend!

\n

Take a look in your trash cans. How much of that trash is organic material, paper, or other compostables?  By starting a worm farm to compost your waste, you can cut back the amount of trash that ends up in landfills.  The beautiful thing is that, when you compost waste at home, it doesn’t give off methane gas which contributes to climate change.  Worm composting is really easy and takes up so little space that you can even do it inside or on an apartment balcony.  For straight-forward info and videos on how to get started with composting, you can check out the website Crazy About Compost.

\n

Stop with the Plastic Bags Already!

\n

There is a lot of debate about how long it takes for a plastic bag to disintegrate.  Most estimate that it takes 500 to 1000 years for a plastic bag to disintegrate, but the truth is that we don’t know because plastic bags have only been around for about 50 years.  Even if they were capable of disintegrating, it isn’t likely that they would.  Modern landfills are lined and covered daily so trash receives no oxygen or sunlight.  In these conditions, even biodegradables like bananas are more likely to mummify than decompose!

\n

What about those biodegradable plastic bags? Even they take years to degrade in outdoor conditions.  In landfills, those biodegradable plastic bags produce greenhouse gases.  Oh, and many of those “eco-friendly” plastic bags are really made from oil products just like conventional plastic bags.

\n

Start an Organic Vegetable Garden

\n

Growing your own vegetables (even if it is just a balcony herb garden) helps the environment in many ways.  It reduces pollution from the “food miles” it normally takes to get food to your plate.  It cuts back on pollution from food packaging.  Plants also absorb carbon dioxide which is contributing to global warming.  By growing your own veggies, you’ll also cut your food bill.  Just another perk of going green!

\n

Upgrade Your Thermostat

\n

You’ve already heard the advice that you should reduce your thermostat to cut your energy use down (and save money too!).  But how about upgrading your thermostat while you are at it?  Today, there are numerous options for programmable thermostats.  You can program multiple temperature settings to optimize energy use. For example, set a low temperature for while sleeping, set the heating kick on before you wake up and go down again once you leave for work, and set the temperature to increasing once again before you come home from work.

\n

Opt Out of Junk Mail

\n

All of that junk mail you get takes a serious toll on the environment.  One study even found that 250,000 homes could be heated from the energy it takes to create a single day’s worth of junk mail!  Junk mail adds up to the greenhouse emissions of 9 million cars! Did you know that you can opt out of junk mail?  Just go to the Direct Marketing Association website and opt out of junk mail.  It saves the environment and also the annoyance of sorting through all those circulars.

\n
\n

Ingredients

\n

–Blue cheese sauce:

\n\n

-Burger:

\n\n
\n

Let’s Get Started!

\n

1. Mix together the blue cheese sauce ingredients (without adding the tofu yet). Combine until they are smooth. For the lemon juice, garlic powder, and apple cider vinegar, add just a dash or personalize with more or less of each flavor as you prefer.

\n

2. Crumble the tofu and add it to the dressing mixture, stirring them together. Cover this and refrigerate for about an hour.

\n

3. In a new bowl, mix together the olive oil with the hot sauce.

\n

4. Grab your Beyond Burger patty and dip into the mixture. Be sure to coat it well for maximum flavor! Grill the patty on medium heat for 3 minutes on each side.

\n

5. Take your finished patty off the grill and set on your favorite bun to pair with these flavors. Add extra buffalo sauce and top with your delicious blue cheese. Feel free to garnish with additional toppings that you prefer!

Tips & Tricks for a Plant-Based Summer

\n

by Alyson Monaco

\n

Summer has officially arrived and just as the seasons change, so do our dietary choices. Many people shift from hearty winter stews and start to crave fresh salads and smoothies. In fact, the number of people who are adopting plant-based diets, not just in the warmer months, is on the rise. This is no surprise after documentaries like “What the Health” sweep the nation. Plant-based diets boast an incredible amount of health benefits including increased energy, sharper focus, and glowing skin. While going completely vegan may seem extreme to some, we can take away some excellent tips from our vegan neighbors on how to enjoy a plant-based summer.

\n

1) Keep an open mind.

\n

Dietary changes are scary at first sight. You may be worried about finding sustainable food alternatives that you actually enjoy. Not just that, but it may seem like your nutritional option are significantly narrowed. This, however, is far from the truth. When exploring a new diet, it is important to keep an open mind and try as many new things as possible. Some may seem pretty unique and out of the box. Keep trying until you find foods that stick. Do your research and collect recipes that catch your eye. It may take some time, but sticking with your plant-based goal will inevitably lead you to foods you love.

\n

2) Plan ahead and stock up.

\n

Plant-based diets, especially vegan diets, require a good amount of pre-planning to be successful. We are used to fast-food or pantry snacks that are easily acquired on-the-go, but many of these choices are covered in cheese, or have hidden animal by-products from being overly-processed. It is important when focusing on being plant-based, that you plan your snacks and meals ahead of time. Stock up on veggies like broccoli, kale, cauliflower, mushrooms, beets, and sweet potatoes. When it comes to vegetables, the sky’s the limit! It is a great practice to visit your local farmer’s market each week to pick up fresh ingredients and do a little bit of meal prep. One of the great things about being plant-based is that your food will stay fresh longer, so meal prepping will be a breeze. Cut up some carrot sticks and make up some jar salads that are easy to grab-and-go. This way, you will never have to fall back on fast food.

\n

\"animal

\n

3) Learn about meat alternatives.

\n

Probably the hardest change to make on your journey is giving up meat but with so many great options available, this no longer has to feel like a sacrifice! , Try your hand at meat alternatives such as tofu, tempeh the insta-famous jackfruit or any of Beyond Meat’s delicious products like the Beyond Chicken Strips and Beefy Crumbles. Each of these alternates has the uncanny ability to take on any flavor you desire and are extremely versatile. Jackfruit even boasts a texture eerily similar to pulled pork. Love a burger at your BBQ? There are plenty of options at your local supermarket that will satisfy your craving and keep the party going like Beyond Meat’s revolutionary Beyond Burger. Meant to look, cook and taste just like a beef burger, this one is sold in the meat case and will even have your carnivore friends drooling. If you are hopping on the vegan train, luckily the experts have already made lists of appropriate swaps that are easy to implement including egg-less aioli and vegan friendly cheeses

\n

4) It is not just all about the veggies.

\n

That’s right! Many people hear “plant-based” and assume they will be eating nothing but lettuce. How wrong they are! In fact, surviving off of vegetables alone will not get you very far and it is necessary to also include whole grains such as quinoa or rice. Fruits are also an obvious addition, as well as nuts and nut butters for a good dose of protein. “Salad” sometimes gets a bad name, with some claiming they are still hungry after eating one. But start with some spinach, top it with quinoa and chickpeas, colorful veggies, avocado, and some sweet potato, and you have yourself a hearty meal any day of the week. It is hard to find ingredients like these that do not taste delicious when piled in a bowl.

\n

5) Bake it Off!

\n

If you worry you will get bored with bowls of veggies from day-to-day, try mixing it up and testing your baking skills. There are tons of recipes that are packed full of hidden fruits and vegetables that will make you forget you are even eating a hefty dose of vitamins. Treats like avocado chocolate mousse, banana and zucchini breads, or quick snack bites made from dates, not only taste amazing, but they will also satisfy that sweet tooth. Better yet, baking really lends itself to ingredient substitutes, so vegetarians and vegans alike have plenty of options without giving up those sweet favorites.

\n

\"ingredients

\n

6) Know what is in your food and supplement when necessary.

\n

Your body is used to a certain influx of vitamins and nutrients in any given day. During a major dietary change, this ratio is bound to shift, potentially leaving holes in a well-balanced diet. It is a common worry that things like protein, calcium, and other vitamins may fall by the wayside, so it is important to know which foods provide what. If you notice that you are lacking in a particular area, invest in quality supplements to make up for the deficiency and maintain your optimal health.

\n

The benefits of going meatless this summer far outweigh the initial cravings. Set your fears aside and dive into the challenge. Whether you decide to go vegetarian or full-on vegan, plant-based diets are completely attainable if you have the right tools. All you need is a sense of adventure and the willingness to commit to the change. Remember, a little planning goes a long way, and after a short period of time, you will be thoroughly enjoying your new lifestyle!

BEYOND MEAT® EXPANDS PRODUCT DISTRIBUTION

\n

Beyond Sausage Hot Italian® launching at over 400 Walmart stores and Beyond Meat Cookout Classic™ expanding to approximately 500 Walmart stores

\n

EL SEGUNDO, Calif., March 9, 2021 -- Beyond Meat, Inc. (NASDAQ: BYND), a leader in plant-based meat, today announced its latest expansion of product offerings at Walmart. Starting this week, within the approximately 2,400 Walmart locations nationwide in which Beyond Meat products are currently sold, Walmart will be adding Beyond Sausage Hot Italian® to the fresh meat aisle at more than 400 stores as well as expanding the frozen Cookout Classic value-pack to approximately 500 stores.

\n

This increased distribution at Walmart is Beyond Meat’s second in the past year and is part of Beyond Meat’s effort to increase worldwide accessibility to simple, plant-based meat products made without GMOs or bioengineered ingredients. As demand for plant-based meat continues to rise, this increased distribution complements the company’s expansive retail presence at approximately 28,000 retail outlets across the U.S. in which consumers have made their preference for Beyond Meat clear: according to the 52-week SPINS and NPD data ending December 2020, Beyond Meat was the #1 selling plant-based meat brand in the refrigerated category at grocery stores[1] and across foodservice[2].

\n

“We are thrilled by the continued growth with Walmart and the opportunity to offer Walmart customers increased accessibility to a larger selection of our delicious and better-for-you plant-based products,” said Chuck Muth, Chief Growth Officer, Beyond Meat. “As more households continue to buy our products and buy them more frequently, we’re excited to satisfy the growing demand through increased product offerings and distribution.”

\n

Beyond Meat first launched its products at Walmart in 2015. Since then, Beyond Meat offerings at Walmart have expanded to include the Beyond Burger®, Beyond Sausage Brat Original, and Beyond Breakfast Sausage® patties, along with the latest additions of Beyond Sausage Hot Italian and Cookout Classic.

\n

Beyond Sausage Hot Italian is a plant-based sausage designed to look, sizzle, and satisfy like pork. Compared to traditional pork sausage, Beyond Sausage offers more protein and iron with less total and saturated fat and no cholesterol, antibiotics or hormones. Cookout Classic provides everything that customers love about the juicy, meaty taste and texture of the Beyond Burger with the added convenience of being sold frozen in a value-pack designed to feed the whole family. After last summer’s successful limited-edition launch of Cookout Classic, Beyond Meat is reintroducing the item as a permanent SKU.

\n

Commitment to Improving Human Health

\n

Beyond Meat is committed to serving consumers’ growing demand for delicious, better-for-you and sustainable protein with products that are simple and made from plants with no GMOs or bioengineered ingredients. The company is dedicated to supporting academic and scientific studies into the impacts of plant-based meats on health and the findings from a clinical study using Beyond Meat’s plant-based products were recently published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. In the study conducted at Stanford University, researchers evaluated the impact of replacing animal-based meat with Beyond Meat’s plant-based meats over an 8-week period on cholesterol levels (including LDL), heart disease risk factors including TMAO levels, and body weight, and found improvement in key health metrics when participants replaced animal-based meat with Beyond Meat’s plant-based meat. The results provide yet another data point in a growing field of research about how plant-based meat can help people live healthier lives.

BEYOND MEATBALLS™ AVAILABLE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE NETHERLANDS
AND SWITZERLAND

The fan-favorite plant-based meatballs become the fourth Beyond Meat® product offering in
Europe and are now available across major retailers in The Netherlands and Switzerland

EL SEGUNDO, Calif., July 13, 2021 – Beyond Meat®, a leader in plant-based meat, today
announced the launch of Beyond Meatballs™ in the European market with prominent retailers
across The Netherlands and Switzerland. The delicious plant-based meatballs, which are
produced locally in Europe, are now available at 450 Albert Heijn stores throughout The
Netherlands and available for purchase through online supermarket Picnic. In Switzerland, Beyond Meatballs can now be found across 120 COOP stores.

Beyond Meatballs are a delicious plant-based option for classic comfort food dishes -- from
Swedish Meatballs to pastas, sandwiches and more. Pre-seasoned with a signature blend of
Italian spices such as rosemary, sage and oregano and ready to cook, they are perfect for a
convenient, satisfying meal with all the environmental upsides of plant-based meat. In addition to
great taste and texture, Beyond Meatballs have 16g of protein per serving and are made from
plant-based ingredients without soy, gluten or cholesterol.

\"We’re excited to bring our fourth retail offering to the European market through our partnerships
with Albert Heijn, COOP and Picnic, particularly as the European market continues to see strong
demand for plant-based options,” said Ihab Leheta, Vice President International Business
Development, Beyond Meat. “Following the launch of Beyond Mince® in The Netherlands and
Switzerland this past spring, we’re proud to offer another delicious and convenient product at
retail so that more consumers have the option to choose a product that’s better for our planet.”

This new product is arriving to the broader European market as demand for plant-based meat
options continues to grow. According to Nielsen data, European plant-based consumption has
grown by 49% in the past two years, with sales value growing by 50% in The Netherlands during
the same period.1 Beyond Meat’s unwavering commitment to non-GMO ingredients has enabled
the company to more easily and rapidly expand across the European market and meet growing
consumer demand.

Currently, the Beyond Burger®, Beyond Sausage® and Beyond Mince are sold at hundreds of
retail locations throughout Europe. In addition to retail, Beyond Meat is providing European
consumers with increased access to plant-based protein through foodservice partnerships
throughout the European Union such as McDonald’s, Pizza Hut and Starbucks. Globally, Beyond

Meat eaters used to criticize the vegetarian diet as not having enough protein.  Well, most people have finally woken up to the fact that it is actually easy to get enough protein from plants.  So, now those meat advocates are switching their argument.  They say that “vegetables aren’t complete proteins, so vegetarians can end up with amino acid deficiencies.”  This has caused some to say vegetarians need to follow complex protein-combining systems to ensure adequate amino acid intake. Vegetarians, you can relax.  There is no need to worry about protein combining!

\n

What Are Amino Acids?

\n

Let’s step back a minute.  A protein is a molecule which is made up of amino acids.  There are 20 different amino acids which are used by humans.  Of these, 9 are considered “essential” because our bodies cannot make them on their own.  The remaining are called “non-essential” amino acids because our bodies make them out of essential amino acids.  The term “non-essential” is a bit confusing though in that we really do need them for functioning.  We just don’t have to get them from dietary sources.

\n

What is a Complete Protein?

\n

A complete protein is a food which contains enough of all 9 essential amino acids for your body to function.  A food could have all 9 amino acids and still not be considered “complete” if it didn’t have high levels of all of 9 amino acids.  An example of this is corn, which has all 9 amino acids, but not enough lysine per serving to hold your body over.  Most protein-rich foods do contain all the amino acids.  They just don’t contain enough of them to be considered complete!

\n

Most Vegetarian Foods Are Not Complete Proteins…

\n

It is true that most vegetarian foods are NOT complete proteins.  Of course, there are exceptions to this, including vegan complete proteins like quinoa, soy, hemp, and chia seeds. But, even if you aren’t eating these vegan complete proteins, you probably still don’t have to worry about combining proteins in order to get all your essential amino acids.

\n

If you were to try to subsist on corn alone, you could easily meet your protein RDAs.  A typical adult needs just 46-56 grams of protein per day and 4 cups of corn (at 16 grams of protein per cup) would put you well over the RDA.  But, corn is an incomplete protein because it lacks lysine.  So, you could end up with a lysine deficiency.

\n

Actually, if you ate A LOT of corn, you wouldn’t end up with a lysine deficiency.  That is because corn does contain some lysine, but not enough per serving to meet RDAs.  A typical adult would have to eat about 10-12 cups of corn to get enough lysine.

\n

Luckily, most of us don’t try to subsist on corn alone.  Most of us eat a varied diet which includes many types of proteins.  You are probably even getting some protein from places you don’t expect it, like the 3 grams of protein you got from snacking on raisins.

\n

There is no evidence which shows you need to get all of your amino acids at the same time.  So, if for some reason you only ate corn for lunch, you would be lacking lysine for that meal.  But, chances are you will season your dinner with dried parsley (super rich in lysine) and adequately compensate for what you missed during lunch.

\n

The bottom line?

\n

Ignore all the alarmist advice telling you that vegetarians need to come up with complex protein-combining strategies.  So long as you are getting your protein from a variety of sources, you are probably getting all of your essential amino acids.

THE BEYOND BURGER® HITS BAREBURGER MENUS NATIONWIDE, GIVING CUSTOMERS A NEW FLAVOR-PACKED PLANT-BASED PROTEIN OPTION

The Launch Signals a Continued Desire for More Diverse Protein Offerings At National Restaurants

\n

EL SEGUNDO, Calif.--Beyond Meat®, a leader in plant-based protein, announces today that its revolutionary Beyond Burger is now available on-menu at all 38 Bareburger locations nationwide. The launch highlights Beyond Meat’s rapid growth among mainstream restaurants and partners outside of retail, solidifying The Beyond Burger’s prominence as the nation’s go-to plant-based burger.

\n

“Adding The Beyond Burger to Bareburger’s menu answers the rising consumer demand for healthier, plant-based menu options that deliver on taste and satisfaction. Enabling more consumers to Eat What You Love™, our partnership couples the health and environmental benefits of plant-based foods with Bareburger’s commitment to serving sustainable and delicious food options,” said Ethan Brown, Founder and CEO of Beyond Meat.

\n

Bareburger, the better-for-you burger chain known for their commitment to serving food made with fresh, local ingredients, has gained popularity nationwide among consumers who are being more choiceful about their food and where it comes from. “At Bareburger we are committed to offering consumers their favorite food, while being mindful about the sustainability and origin of these products,” said Bareburger CEO, Euripides Pelekanos. “The Beyond Burger not only delivers on the taste, texture and look of meat, but offers the environmental and health benefits of plant-based foods.”

\n

Adding The Beyond Burger to Bareburger’s menu creates even more delicious protein choices for mindful consumers. Last year, there was one plant-based meat option on Bareburger’s menu, but answering consumer’s growing demand, now The Beyond Burger is entering the arena – with less saturated fat and 30 fewer calories, to boot!

\n

Starting today, customers nationwide at Bareburger can enjoy a mouthwatering burger build, bursting with flavor that includes a charbroiled Beyond Burger patty, vegan American cheese, sweet pickles, red onion, green leaf lettuce and special sauce on a brioche bun. Fans can make their order vegan-friendly by ordering a multigrain bun without special sauce, or build their own creation using The Beyond Burger patty under the “Be My Burger” section on their menu.

\n

11 MILLION BURGERS SOLD. A SIZZLING SENSATION

\n

The Beyond Burger – already available at BurgerFi’s 100 U.S. locations and recently added to the menu of TGI Fridays’ 450+ locations nationwide in the brand’s fastest test-to-table launch ever – is the world’s only burger that looks, cooks and tastes like ground beef from cows but is made entirely from plants, without GMOs, soy or gluten. The Beyond Burger packs more protein and iron than beef but with less saturated and total fat than beef.

\n

Since its launch, Beyond Meat has sold more than 11 million Beyond Burgers. Today, it is sold in the meat case at more than 5,000 grocery stores nationwide, including Kroger, Albertsons Companies, Stop & Shop, Shaw’s, Jewel Osco and Whole Foods, as well as on menu at more than 6,000 restaurants, hotels and college campus dining halls.

SUBWAY® RESTAURANTS AND BEYOND MEAT® UNVEIL ITS STRATEGIC CULINARY PARTNERSHIP AND THE BEYOND MEATBALL™ MARINARA

\n

MILFORD, Conn., Aug. 7, 2019  -- Subway® fans know they can customize their favorite sub to fit any lifestyle and now guests have even more options. Today, Subway unveils a new culinary innovation partnership with Beyond Meat® to test exclusive plant-based protein options. Starting this September and for a limited time only, Subway restaurants will test the Beyond Meatball™ Marinara sub in 685 participating restaurants in Canada and the U.S.

\n

The strategic collaboration with Beyond Meat reflects Subway's continued culinary innovation journey to offer guests even more best-in-class food experiences that they can only find at Subway restaurants. In the past month, Subway has announced exclusive partnerships to offer the first-ever Halo Top hand-spun milkshakes and fresh baked King's Hawaiian® bread only at Subway. The unique partnership with Beyond Meat brings together dedicated culinary teams from both brands to explore new plant-based protein offerings, starting with the Beyond Meatball™ Marinara.

\n

Now guests will have the opportunity to try the new Beyond Meatball™ Marinara, which takes its inspiration from the brand's classic sandwich but with a plant-based twist. The sub is drenched in our irresistible marinara sauce, Provolone cheese, sprinkled with grated parmesan cheese and perfectly toasted, but features the first-ever Beyond Meatball™ created just for Subway. The sub offers the same mouthwatering flavor as Subway's traditional meatball sub and is packed with protein – 24 grams per six-inch sub.

\n

Seventy percent of meat-eaters substitute a non-meat protein in a meal at least once a week, according to researchers, the NPD Group. Subway fans in North America can create more than 1 billion plant-forward sandwich, flatbread, and Signature Wrap combinations. With the addition of the Beyond Meatball™, Subway guests will now have 2 billion options!

\n

\"Subway appeals to so many fans because we truly offer something for everyone. Our guests want to feel good about what they eat and they also want to indulge in new flavors. With our new plant-based Beyond Meatball™ Marinara sub, we are giving them the best of both worlds. And, we are particularly excited about debuting a co-developed product that can't be found anywhere else: the Beyond Meatball™ made just for Subway,\" says Len Van Popering, Subway's Chief Brand and Innovation Officer.

\n

\"We're excited to partner with Subway and are grateful that the menu team through to senior management has entrusted us as their innovation partner to deliver delicious plant-based proteins to their guests. We look forward to a long-term partnership with Subway as we together serve and delight existing and new fans of this iconic chain,\" says Ethan Brown, Beyond Meat Founder & CEO.

Vegetables taste great and, with a bit of adjusting, you can learn to love veggies just as they are. But, even the most avid veggie lover will tell you that eating plain sautéed zucchini or carrot sticks can get a bit boring. The solution? Marinate the heck out of your veggies and plant proteins!

\n

Marinade basically just means that you soak food in some sort of liquid. The word probably comes from Italian word marinito, which means to pickle, and this word likely originated from the Latin word marine, which means from the sea. But marinating has come a long way from being sea brine! Here is everything you need to know to use marinades to add flavor to your veggie fare.

\n

Which Foods to Marinate?

\n

You can marinate pretty much any food. However, tender foods are generally best because they can absorb the marinade and get a nice flavor. Some good options are tofu, seitan, zucchini, eggplant, squash, and mushrooms. Harder foods such as carrots can also be marinated, but you will want to make sure they are sliced thinly so the flavor gets transferred to them.

\n

Remember, marinating rarely penetrates deep into the food.The flavor is mostly imparted on the exterior surface. So increase the surface area! Don’t use big cuts. Slice foods as thinly as you can without risking that they will fall apart when cooked.

\n
\n

Marinade Timing

\n

How long should you marinate vegetables and other plant-based foods? It depends on a lot of factors. The more sponge-like the food, the less time is needed to absorb the marinade (think zucchini compared to carrots). Also, thinly-sliced foods with a larger surface area are going to need less time to marinate.

\n

You can generally get away with marinating veggie foods overnight. Just be wary about doing this with soft vegetables as they can get really soggy and fall apart when you cook them.

\n\n
\n

Marinating Equipment

\n

You can marinate in a plastic bag, a plastic bowl, a Tupperware container, a ceramic dish, in a deep dinner plate…But whatever you do, DON’T MARINATE IN A METAL BOWL! Most marinades contain an acid (like vinegar). The acid will react with the metal and cause it to impart a metallic taste into the food. Yuck.

\n
\n

Cooking Marinated Food

\n

You can prepare marinated food in just about any way. However, bear in mind that marinated foods contain a lot of excess liquid. You don’t want to grab a freshly-marinated red pepper and throw it into a pan of hot frying oil –the combo of liquid and hot oil is going to cause some serious splattering.

\n

In general, marinating is used when foods will be cooked in a way which would dry them out. For example, grilling really dries out food. By marinating food before putting it on the grill, you add some moisture so the food stays tender.

\n

Note that marinades containing sweeteners (sugar, molasses, honey, etc.) BURN QUICKLY. Cook these foods at lower heat and watch them like a hawk!

\n

Marinade Ingredients

\n

Marinades can be any flavorful liquid, but the traditional standard is a combination of an acid, oil, and flavor elements. Here is a basic marinade formula you can follow:

\n

ACID
Examples: Vinegar, orange juice, wine
Why: Tenderizes proteins and helps boost flavor of other elements in marinade

\n

+

\n

OIL/FAT
Examples: Olive oil, sesame oil, coconut oil or coconut milk
Why: Coats the food and keeps it from drying out; also helps carry flavor

\n

+

\n

HERBS/SEASONINGS/SWEETENER
Examples: Garlic, parsley, ginger, hot pepper, sugar
Why: Adds flavor

\n

If you follow this basic formula, you don’t need a recipe for marinating vegetables – just use whatever you already have in your house. Remember, there are no specific rules and you might surprise yourself by finding which flavor combinations go really well together. If you are just getting started with making your own marinades though, you might want to create them using region-specific ingredients. Here are some marinade combinations to get you inspired.

\n
\n

American Marinades: Bourbon, hot sauce, oil, buttermilk (1 tbsp vinegar or lemon juice + 1 cup soy milk = vegan buttermilk), maple syrup, vegan Worcestershire sauce

\n

Latin American Marinades: Oil, lime juice, chiles, cumin, oregano

\n

Asian Marinades: Rice-wine vinegar, mirin, coconut milk, soy sauce, sesame oil, lime juice, ginger, sugar, garlic, cilantro, lemongrass

\n

Italian Marinades: Red wine, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic, basil, tarragon, oregano, lemon juice, thyme, rosemary

\n

Indian Marinades: Yogurt, ginger, curry, cilantro, mint, garlic, turmeric, cumin

BEYOND MEAT® INTRODUCES THE ICONIC BEYOND BURGER® TO WOOLWORTHS

As the plant-based market booms in Australia, Beyond Meat announces partnership to put its patties
on the shelves of 800 Woolworths stores nationwide

Sydney, Australia, 21 June 2021 – Beyond Meat®, a leader in plant-based meat, has today announced that its wildly popular flagship product, the Beyond Burger®, is now available for the first
time at Woolworths. As Beyond Meat works to make plant-based options accessible to more
consumers, Aussies can now find the delicious, nutritious and sustainable plant-based meat patties in
most Woolworths stores across the country.

The launch responds to local consumers’ growing demand for plant-based meat products that are
better for human health and the health of the planet. According to Food Frontier data1, one in three
Australians have been consciously limiting their animal meat consumption, with 42% of the population acquiring new food habits.

“We’ve seen a strong response from consumers since arriving on Australian shores in 2018, so being
able to expand our presence at a major retailer such as Woolworths is a huge step towards increasing our accessibility locally,” said Ihab Leheta, Vice President International Business Development, Beyond Meat. “Our mission is to provide consumers with absolutely delicious plant-based meats that are better for their health and the health of the planet so that they can continue to enjoy their favourite meals, no sacrifice required.”

\"Over the past year, we've seen a growing trend of customers who want flexibility and variety in their
diet, driving a nearly 40% increase for our plant-based protein category,” said Woolworths Plant-Based Category Manager Mauro Pisani. “We’re excited to add Beyond Meat within our broader range as the Beyond Burger gives shoppers a great tasting, high-quality plant-based option that delivers on the delicious burger eating experience Aussies crave.”

The Beyond Burger: A Global Sizzling Sensation
Beyond Meat first introduced the Beyond Burger in 2016, revolutionising the category as the first
plant-based burger designed to look, cook and taste like animal meat and sold in the meat case. The
product has since become a ubiquitous symbol for the future of food innovation and is now available in over 80 countries worldwide.

The star of any burger build, the Beyond Burger is designed to deliver the same juicy, meaty taste and texture as animal-based burgers while delivering strong nutritional benefits such as:
● 20g of protein per patty from peas, mung beans & brown rice
● No cholesterol, antibiotics or hormones

Made from simple, plant-based ingredients without GMOs, soy or gluten, the Beyond Burger is also
certified kosher and halal.

This exciting announcement builds on Beyond Meat’s ongoing global expansion and mission to make plant-based options available and accessible to more consumers. In 2021 alone, Beyond Meat has significantly expanded product distribution to thousands of retail locations across Europe, as well as in the United States through its expanded product offerings in Walmart stores across the country.
Beyond Meat also became the first multinational company focused solely on plant-based meat
production to open its own production facility in China.

Advancing Human Health
In a clinical study that was conducted at Stanford University and published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, researchers evaluated animal-based meat with plant-based meat over an 8-week period. The study found improvement in key health metrics when participants replaced animal-based meat with Beyond Meat’s plant-based meat.

Meat with a Lighter Environmental Footprint
In addition to the proven health benefits of plant-based meat, the University of Michigan’s 2018 LCA
showed that the original Beyond Burger, compared to producing a ¼ lb. standard U.S. 80/20 beef
burger, has 99% less impact on water scarcity, 93% less impact on land use, requires 46% less energy
and generates 90% fewer greenhouse gas emissions.

Global Footprint, Local Availability
“We know that to win, we have to deliver on taste, nutrition and price. If we can do those three things, we see a tremendous opportunity to transition people from animal-based meat to plant-based meat,” continued Leheta. Fans across Australia can now pick up the Beyond Burger two-pack at Woolworths stores for the everyday price of $11 AUD.

This arrival in Woolworths stores is the latest move in Beyond Meat’s expansion across the country.
Australian consumers can also find the Beyond Burger and Beyond Mince in additional retail and
foodservice locations across Australia, including Grill’d, Lord of the Fries, Ribs & Burgers and
Soulburger. Check out mouth-watering recipes for the Beyond Burger and Beyond Mince here.

We’re BBBTB!  (aka. Bringing Beyond Burgers to Belgium)

\n

It’s official, our Belgian friends will be able to pick up the Beyond Burger at Delhaize starting the 25th of April and at Albert Heijn as of April 29th.  

\n

\n

 

\n

Belgium is more than beautiful countrysides and picturesque medieval streets. In fact, Europe as a whole is leading the global demand for plant-based meat! Point being, we want to “meat’ you, Belgium, and we know you want to meet the Beyond Burger too.

\n

\"Delhaize and Albert Heijn share our passion for offering innovative food products and increasing accessibility to delicious, high-quality plant-based meat. We’re excited to introduce The Beyond Burger in the Belgian retail market so that local consumers can continue to eat delicious, satiating burgers while enjoying the added health and environmental benefits of plant-based meat,” said Seth Goldman, Beyond Meat’s Executive Chairman.

\n

This launch marks the next step forward in our mission of making plant-based meat more accessible worldwide, and we’re thrilled to now be available in more than 30 countries.

\n

As our global footprint grows we, in turn, shrink the ecological footprint of the meat industry. Compared to a 4oz beef burger, the Beyond Burger produces 90 percent fewer greenhouse gas emissions. Globally speaking, livestock agriculture is responsible for nearly 15 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions.

\n

Now that’s what we call a burger with benefits! Find a store near you here and be sure to share a picture when you find it at your local retailer, tagging #BeyondBurger for a chance to be featured. #GoBeyond

BEYOND MEAT® UNVEILS DELICIOUS NEXT ITERATIONS OF ICONIC BEYOND BURGER® COMING IN EARLY 2021
\n
\n
\n

The new platform will offer consumers expanded choice, advances in mouthwatering taste and improved nutritional profiles

\n

The brand’s juiciest burger yet will contain 35% less saturated fat than 80/20 beef, while its most nutritious patty to date will register a full 55% less saturated fat than 80/20 beef

\n

Beyond Meat will unveil the new iterations of the Beyond Burger at an exclusive preview in Los Angeles Nov. 18-20

\n

EL SEGUNDO, Calif., Nov. 16, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Beyond Meat, Inc. (NASDAQ: BYND), a leader in plant-based meat, today announced the next step forward in cutting-edge innovation with the unveiling of two new versions of the Beyond Burger® which are expected to launch nationwide in early 2021. A trifecta of taste, health and sustainability, the new iterations are designed to meet consumers’ growing demand for plant-based proteins that deliver on both taste and nutrition, while featuring an enhanced meaty flavor and the craveable taste consumers love, with an even better nutritional profile.

\n

Similar to the range of nutritional options of beef currently available in the marketplace, the two versions are designed to offer more choice for consumers. The new Beyond Burgers will include the brand’s juiciest patty for the meatiest burger experience even as it delivers strong nutritional wins relative to 80/20 beef with 35% less saturated fat, as well as its most nutritious patty yet with 55% less saturated fat than 80/20 beef. Both new burgers will boast the same savory taste profile, have lower overall fat and fewer calories than 80/20 beef, and have B vitamins and minerals comparable to the micronutrient profile of beef.

\n

\"I am personally thrilled to introduce this new Beyond Burger platform as it speaks so clearly to what our brand and company stands for,” said Ethan Brown, CEO and Founder, Beyond Meat. “Our commitment is to provide consumers with absolutely delicious plant-based meats that are better for people and the planet, no sacrifice required. These new iterations deliver on this promise, and I am immensely proud of our team’s ability to make such strong advances in taste, juiciness and nutrition through our Rapid and Relentless Innovation program. Just as you can find different varieties of ground beef, consumers will now have more choice to satisfy their individual nutritional needs and preferences.\" 

\n

Rapid and Relentless Approach to Innovation
Beyond Meat’s best-in-class approach to creating cutting-edge innovations, coupled with a firm commitment to using only simple plant-based inputs and no bioengineered ingredients, has established the company as a category leader. The company introduced the Beyond Burger in 2016, revolutionizing the category as the first plant-based burger designed to look, cook and taste like animal meat and sold in the meat case. The new Beyond Burger iterations are the latest in a pipeline of new product offerings in 2020 following Beyond Breakfast Sausage® Patties, Cookout Classic™, Beyond Meatballs™ and Beyond Breakfast Sausage Links. Beyond Meat sells products at approximately 122,000 retail and foodservice outlets in over 80 countries worldwide, including approximately 28,000 retail outlets in the U.S.

\n

Commitment to Improving Human Health
Beyond Meat is committed to serving consumers’ growing demand for delicious, nutritious and sustainable protein with products that are simple and made from plants with no GMOs or bioengineered ingredients. Beyond Meat’s products do not contain many other elements, often found in animal protein, that have raised health or safety concerns, such as hormones, antibiotics, nitrates or heme iron, and the company is dedicated to supporting academic and scientific studies into the impacts of plant-based meats on health. The findings from a clinical study using Beyond Meat’s plant-based products were recently published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. In the study conducted at Stanford University, researchers evaluated the impact of replacing animal-based meat with Beyond Meat’s plant-based meats over an 8-week period on cholesterol levels (including LDL), heart disease risk factors including TMAO levels, and body weight, and found improvement in key health metrics when participants replaced animal-based meat with Beyond Meat’s plant-based meat. The results provide yet another data point in a growing field of research about how plant-based meat can help people live healthier lives.

\n

Meat with a Lighter Environmental Footprint
The results of the Stanford University study complement the results of the University of Michigan’s 2018 LCA which showed that the original Beyond Burger, compared to producing a ¼ lb. standard 80/20 beef burger, has 99% less impact on water scarcity, 93% less impact on land use, requires 46% less energy and generates 90% less greenhouse gas emissions. To illustrate these benefits, the company launched its What if We All Go Beyond? brand anthem, inviting consumers to see how over time through small changes, such as what you put at the center of your plate, there can be a meaningful collective impact on human health and the health of our planet.

\n

Exclusive Preview: Be the First to Try It
Beyond Meat will host an exclusive preview in Los Angeles from Nov. 18-20 to unveil the new versions of the Beyond Burger. Bringing the Go Beyond® brand mantra to life, the individualized, highly visual and immersive experience will include a first look and taste of the new Beyond Burgers. Reservations are available now via Resy, while supplies last. Follow Beyond Meat’s social channels for live updates from the event using #GoBeyond. The company expects to launch the new iterations of the Beyond Burger nationwide in early 2021.

1Comparison made as against the national pizza companies Papa John's, Domino's and Little Caesars in the U.S.
2Availability, prices and participation varies.  While supplies last. Pizza Hut's Beyond Italian Sausage is plant-based but all Pizza Hut pizzas are prepared by team members with the same cooking tools and ovens used to prepare and serve our delicious meat-based pizzas and pastas. Beyond Italian Sausage does not contain peanuts or tree nuts. However, it does contain protein from peas, which are legumes. People with severe allergies to other legumes (such as peanuts) should be cautious when introducing pea protein into their diet because of the possibility of a pea allergy.
3Our team members do their best to accommodate contactless, curbside and other instructions, but availability may vary, and is not guaranteed. Delivery areas, charges and minimums vary. Delivery charge is not a driver tip.

KFC BEYOND FRIED CHICKEN™ EXPANDS TO TWO NEW MARKETS

\n
\n

The fried chicken experts team up with Beyond Meat®, to bring finger lickin' good plant-based chicken to Nashville and Charlotte

\n

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Jan. 29, 2020 -- Kentucky Fried Chicken® and Beyond Meat® are announcing an expanded test of Beyond Fried ChickenTM, plant-based chicken. Beginning February 3, select KFC restaurants in Charlotte, Nashville and surrounding areas, will offer new Beyond Fried Chicken menu items, available through February 23, or while supplies last.

\n
\n

The expanded test comes on the heels of the overwhelmingly successful test launch in Atlanta last summer, making KFC the first national U.S. QSR to introduce plant-based chicken in partnership with Beyond Meat. With customers lining up hours before the restaurant opened and cars double-wrapped around the drive-thru and down the block, Beyond Fried Chicken was in high demand and sold out in less than five hours.

\n
\n
\n

The success of the initial test motivated both brands to make additional improvements to Beyond Fried Chicken, creating a plant-based protein that looks and tastes like KFC's world-famous fried chicken, but with the attributes of plant-based meat. The new recipe is designed to deliver on the taste and texture of whole muscle chicken.

\n

\"The iconic flavor of Kentucky Fried Chicken is one that has never been replicated, despite many imitations, until now,\" said Andrea Zahumensky, chief marketing officer, KFC U.S. \"We've really pushed the limits to develop plant-based chicken that I think will have KFC and plant-based protein fans saying, 'That's finger lickin' good.'\"

\n

\"The response in Atlanta continues to underscore the growing consumer demand for high-quality, delicious plant-based meats. Together with KFC's team, we have created a plant-based chicken that looks, tastes and pulls apart like a chicken breast.

A BURGER WITH BENEFITS: BEYOND MEAT® RELEASES IMPACT REPORT QUANTIFYING THE ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS OF THE BEYOND BURGER®

\n

University of Michigan Life Cycle Analysis Further Supports Plant-Based Meat as the Future of Protein™

\n

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Furthering Beyond Meat’s commitment to the environment, the plant-based protein pioneer today released a Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) detailing the environmental impact of The Beyond Burger vs. a traditional beef burger. The newly released report coincides with the brand being named by the United Nations as a 2018 Champion of the Earth. This award is the UN’s highest and most prestigious environmental honor, and it recognizes Beyond Meat for its trailblazing global sustainability efforts.

\n

CHEW ON THIS

\n

The peer-reviewed LCA study, conducted by The University of Michigan, quantifies the environmental impact of the production of The Beyond Burger as having a significantly lighter environmental footprint - from a sustainability perspective - than the production of a traditional beef burger. Compared to a ¼ lb. U.S. beef burger, producing a ¼ lb. Beyond Burger requires:

\n\n

“We conducted a rigorous analysis of the Beyond Burger’s environmental footprint, from producing raw ingredients through delivery to retailers,” said Martin Heller, Research Specialist for The Center for Sustainable Systems at The University of Michigan. “Our report then underwent an independent peer review process that validated our approach and the results, showing the overwhelming benefits that The Beyond Burger offers over beef. We know that, in general, plant-based foods have lower impacts than beef, but very few studies have looked directly at commercially available products. This study confirms that products made to look and taste like beef can have significantly lower impacts as well.”

\n

Now that’s what we call food for thought!

\n

ENGINEERING GLOBAL CHANGE

\n

A commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainability has always been an essential pillar in Beyond Meat Founder & CEO, Ethan Brown’s, vision for the company. “From the start, Beyond Meat has been steadfast in our perspective that meat doesn’t have to come from a chicken, cow or pig. We believe that we can build delicious, satiating meat directly from plants. Though the sustainability of building meat from plants makes intuitive sense, we commissioned the University of Michigan study to generate peer reviewed data and analysis regarding the positive impact consumers can have on climate and natural resources by shifting from beef to Beyond Burgers.”

\n

Beyond Meat’s commitment to sustainability isn’t limited to the products themselves. The brand recently implemented the following eco-friendly measures:

\n\n

THE BEYOND BURGER

\n

The Beyond Burger is the world's only burger that looks, cooks, and satisfies like beef, but is made entirely from plants, without GMOs, soy, or gluten. Since its debut in 2016, more than 25 million Beyond Burgers have been sold. Along with being available in the meat case at more than 12,000 grocery stores, it is also sold on the menu at more than 11,000 restaurants including TGI Fridays, BurgerFi, Bareburger, Epic Burger and A&W Canada.

BEYOND SAUSAGE MAKES FIRST RESTAURANT DEBUT IN NEW YORK CITY

\n

Sausage Connoisseur, Schaller’s Stube, Praises Beyond Meat’s Revolutionary New Sausage Line

\n

New York, NY (February 16, 2018) – Today, New Yorkers will have a new option to satisfy their craving for juicy sausages at Schaller’s Stube on the Upper East Side. Beyond Meat – the brand that created the game changing Beyond Burger – is bringing a plant-based breakthrough to Schaller’s Stube customers: Beyond Sausage. This new creation promises to deliver on the taste, texture, and look of pork sausage but with less saturated and total fat.

\n

“We’re always looking for ways to offer our customers something new and delicious, and have seen a significant increase in requests for alternative protein options. It just so happens, Beyond Sausage is the first one we’ve tried that actually tastes like the real deal,” added Jeremy Schaller, owner of Schaller’s Stube. “I love all pork sausages but this is definitely something that I would add to my weekly lunch rotation. I think our customers – carnivores and vegans alike – will feel the same way.”

\n

In keeping with Beyond Meat’s promise to create better-for-you protein options, Beyond Sausage is launching in three flavors: Original Bratwurst, Hot Italian and Sweet Italian. With 16g of protein per link, more than that of traditional pork sausage, Beyond Sausage is a hearty option that will satisfy New York’s meaty appetites. Beginning today, Schaller’s Stube will offer these varieties in three mouthwatering builds:

\n\n

 

\n

The Beyond Sausage links can also be swapped for any build on the Schaller’s Stube menu.

\n

“In keeping with our vision for enabling people to Eat What They LoveTM while enjoying the health benefits of plant-based foods, we are pleased to bring Beyond Sausage to New York by way of Schaller’s Stube,” said Ethan Brown, CEO of Beyond Meat. “With Schaller’s 80 years of tradition and experience serving sausage, we are honored to launch Beyond Sausage amidst their rich culinary and cultural history.”

\n

In 1937, Schaller & Weber opened its doors with the intent to cater to the German immigrants in the Yorkville neighborhood. Originally a butcher shop where patrons could purchase cured meats and wursts, third generation owner, Jeremy Schaller decided it was time to expand the legacy to cater to present-day Yorkville. In 2014 he, along with his business partner Jesse Denes, opened the adjacent Schaller’s Stube Sausage Bar, a quick service outlet churning out German classics along with chef curated builds inspired by local and ethnic flavors.

\n

Following its New York debut, Beyond Sausage will continue to pop up at meat-centric locations around the country, soon satisfying the cravings of sausage lovers nationwide.

\n

Hailed as a miracle of modern meatiness, Beyond Sausage is the first sausage you actually want to know how it’s made. A blend of pea, fava bean and rice provide the protein, while trace amounts of beet juice lend the meaty red color. Coconut oil ensures mouth-watering juiciness, all wrapped in a 100% plant- based casing derived from algae. A first of its kind, Beyond Sausage has no GMOs, soy or gluten.

\n

Building The Future of Protein
Plant-based leader, Beyond Meat, most recently announced the construction of its new Manhattan Beach Project research and innovation facility in Los Angeles. A seven-fold increase of the existing R&D footprint, the new state-of-the-art facility is projected to triple current pilot capabilities and reduce production scale up timelines in as much as half. Bringing together the best and brightest scientists, engineers, food technologists, chefs, and researchers, they work together in service of a single goal: perfectly build a piece of meat directly from plants.

BEYOND MEAT® DEBUTS NEW PRODUCT, BEYOND PORK™, IN CHINA

\n

The plant-based minced pork is Beyond Meat’s latest cutting-edge innovation and the company’s
first product developed specifically for the Chinese market

\n

From Nov. 18-24, Shanghai foodies can be the first to try Beyond Pork at five popular Shanghai
restaurants Shanghai, China (November 18, 2020) --- Beyond Meat, Inc. (NASDAQ: BYND), a pioneer in plant-based meat, is announcing its latest product innovation: Beyond Pork™. Designed to deliver the sumptuous taste, juicy texture and culinary versatility similar to traditional minced pork, Beyond Pork was created specifically for the Chinese market and is the next step forward in Beyond Meat’s commitment to creating high-quality products that meet consumers’ demand for delicious, nutritious and sustainable protein. 

\n

The introduction of Beyond Pork follows the successful launches of the Beyond Burger® and Beyond Beef® in mainland China and comes at a time when interest in plant-based meat is growing in China and around the world. Pork is the most popular meat in China and the country ranks among the highest pork consumption rates in the world1, making it an excellent location for the unveiling of Beyond Pork. The development of Beyond Pork was a global collaboration between dedicated Beyond Meat teams in Los Angeles and Shanghai. In addition, Beyond Meat conducted multiple sensory tests in China to get direct consumer feedback toward perfecting the product. The result? Beyond Pork was a fan favorite among consumers for its ability to mirror the mouthwatering umami flavor, texture and aroma of animal-based minced pork, while offering the added health and environmental benefits of plant-based meat.

“We’re excited to launch Beyond Pork in China, marking a milestone for Beyond Meat as we are not only launching an entirely new product innovation, but our first plant-based meat product created specifically for the Chinese market,” said Candy Chan, China General Manager, Beyond Meat. “With Beyond Pork, Beyond Meat is providing even more delicious options for consumers to continue to eat their favorite dishes while enjoying the added nutritional and environmental benefits of plant-based meat. Beyond Pork’s exclusive debut in China furthers Beyond Meat’s commitment to this important market and its vision for plant-based meat to continue winning the hearts (and mouths) of Chinese consumers.”

Minced pork is featured in many Chinese dishes, making China the perfect place for Beyond Pork to show off its potential. From dumplings and mapo tofu to zhajiang noodles and lion’s head meatballs, Beyond Pork delivers the meaty taste and texture that Chinese consumers crave but with about 50% less saturated and total fat2. Made from simple plant-based ingredients, like rice and soybeans, Beyond Pork offers a rich source of protein with 18.5g per 100g serving and has no antibiotics or hormones.

To celebrate the launch of Beyond Pork, Beyond Meat is partnering with five popular restaurants in Shanghai, one of China’s food capitals. The roster of partner restaurants features some of the hottest names in Shanghai’s food scene, including Egg, Moménti, RAC, Solo X, and Tun Wang.

“I was very impressed the first time I tried Beyond Pork; I even thought the chef must have actually used traditional animal pork mince by mistake. I think our fans are going to be very impressed when they try it -- I bet they won’t even be able to tell the difference either,” said Simon Briens, Co-Founder of RAC restaurant.

Chefs from the five restaurants all joined a special VIP launch event on November 17 to unveil their dishes at the TX Huaihai Mall in Shanghai. Each chef was tasked with using Beyond Pork as they would animal-based minced pork, and their dishes ranged from RAC’s Beyond Pork Spicy Bolognese to Tun Wang’s Beyond Pork and Shiitake Wonton Noodles. By working with five outstanding restaurants at the same time, Beyond Meat can showcase the wide variety of dishes that Beyond Pork can be used in with delicious results each time. Consumers in Shanghai will be able to enjoy the Beyond Pork special menu items in each of the five restaurants for a limited time (November 18-24). Follow Beyond Meat on Weibo or WeChat for the latest news and updates for Beyond Pork and other exciting happenings.

BEYOND MEAT, INC. AND KFC CHINA EXPAND AVAILABILITY OF THE BEYOND BURGER® AT KFC LOCATIONS THROUGHOUT MAINLAND CHINA 

\n

Following the successful trial in June, KFC is introducing the plant-based Beyond Burger at 210 stores

\n

BEIJING, October 12, 2020 -- Beyond Meat, Inc. (NASDAQ: BYND), a leader in plant-based meat, today announced it is furthering its partnership with KFC China to introduce the Beyond Burger® as a limited time offering at 210 KFC locations for about three weeks. Building on the success of the June test that marked the debut of the Beyond Burger in mainland China, KFC is expanding the on-menu availability of the Beyond Burger at select locations in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Hangzhou and Wuhan.

Providing Chinese consumers an exciting and delicious plant-based twist on the traditional beef burger patty, the plant-based Beyond Burger is designed to look, cook and satisfy like minced beef, but is made using simple, plant-based ingredients. By extracting high-quality protein from plant sources such as peas and rice, Beyond Meat is able to create the meaty texture of animal protein, while providing the nutritional and environmental benefits of plant-based meat.

“During the initial Beyond Burger test at KFC, we captured valuable consumer feedback around our guests’ appetite for plant-based meat,” said Colin Tan, SEC, KFC China. “We’re thrilled to bring the delicious Beyond Burger to more consumers. At KFC we are committed to offering tasty and innovative products that will excite our guests.”

“After the successful initial test, we’re excited to expand our partnership with KFC China as we seek to increase accessibility to plant-based meat globally,” said Candy Chan, General Manager, China, Beyond Meat. “Our mission is to create delicious, nutritious and sustainable plant-based meat to serve consumers’ growing demand for more diverse protein options that are better for their health and the health of the planet.”

When looking to launch a plant-based burger, KFC selected Beyond Meat for the company’s commitment to producing high quality, delicious plant-based meat. The Beyond Burger has a rich source of protein with 17g per 100g serving, and 26% less saturated fat, less total fat and no trans fat compared to standard 80/20 minced beef. The Beyond Burger is also far more efficient and sustainable to produce than traditional minced beef. A 2018 Life Cycle Analysis conducted by the University of Michigan found that producing the US Beyond Burger patty uses 99% less water, 93% less land, 46% less energy and emits 90% fewer greenhouse gas emissions than producing a ¼ lb. US beef burger patty.

BEYOND MEAT® ANNOUNCES BRAZIL MARKET ENTRY 

\n

Company Expands Global Footprint with New Retail Agreement in Brazil in Partnership with St. Marche 

\n

Sao Paulo, 15 July 2020 – Beyond Meat, Inc. (NASDAQ: BYND), a leader in plant-based meat, today announces that it is entering the Brazil market with the introduction of its revolutionary plant-based meat products at 19 St. Marche locations across Sao Paulo. Furthering its mission of increasing accessibility to plant-based meat globally, the company’s signature Beyond Burger®, Beyond Sausage®, and Beyond Beef® products will debut at St. Marche stores across Sao Paulo starting today, making St. Marche the first retailer in Brazil to sell Beyond Meat’s products.

\n

Brazil is considered the fifth most important market in the healthy food industry worldwide according to Good Food Institute's plant-based market consumer research, and health concerns are among the main reasons Brazilians choose to reduce their consumption of animal meat . As the third largest 1 market in the world in terms of animal meat consumption, Brazil offers significant opportunity for plant-based meat adoption.2

Brazil is the latest country to gain access to Beyond Meat products as the company continues to
accelerate its global distribution. As of March 28, 2020, Beyond Meat products were available in approximately 94,000 retail and foodservice outlets in 75 countries worldwide.

“Our Brazil market entry marks an important step in furthering our mission of increasing accessibility
to plant-based meat globally,” said Ethan Brown, Beyond Meat's Founder & CEO. “We are honored to partner with St. Marche to introduce our delicious, nutritious and sustainable plant-based meats to consumers across Sao Paulo.”

Beyond Meat’s products are designed to appeal to a growing fan base of carnivores and flexitarians who are looking for delicious, satiating, plant-based protein without the compromise. All Beyond Meat products are designed to meet or exceed the nutritional profile of its animal-protein equivalent, have no cholesterol, and are made from simple, plant-based ingredients, without GMOs or artificially produced ingredients.

Bernardo Ouro Preto, St. Marche co-CEO said, \"Whether for reasons of health, taste, environmental or animal welfare concerns, more and more Brazilian consumers are directing their diet towards plant-based proteins. We are always looking for products to expand our range of plant-based products and offer customers alternative choices. We’re thrilled to offer our customers the superior taste of the Beyond Burger, Beyond Sausage and Beyond Beef.”

Launching today, St. Marche will offer four Beyond Meat products, including the flagship Beyond Burger, Beyond Sausage (Brat Original and Hot Italian) and Beyond Beef. Beyond Meat products are created using the same primary components of animal-based meat - amino acids, lipids, carbohydrates, trace minerals and water - but built directly from plants using simple, plant-based ingredients like peas, brown rice and beets.

Beyond Meat’s market entry into Brazil is the latest step forward in Beyond Meat’s focus on increasing its global distribution and growth. In April Beyond Meat entered mainland China through a partnership with Starbucks, and last month further expanded within the country with an exclusive
distribution partnership and availability at retail. Additionally the company recently announced production capabilities in Europe through a co-manufacturing facility and acquisition of an owned facility, which is expected to be operational by the end of 2020 allowing end-to-end product
manufacturing in Europe.

BEYOND MEAT® ANNOUNCES RETAIL ENTRY IN MAINLAND CHINA 

\n

Partnership with Alibaba Group’s Freshippo marks the first introduction of Beyond Meat products in supermarkets in mainland China

\n

BEIJING, China, July 1, 2020 - Following high profile foodservice launches with Starbucks and Yum China, Beyond Meat, Inc. (NASDAQ: BYND) today announced the brand's retail entrance in mainland China. Starting this weekend, the plant-based Beyond Burger® will launch in 50 Freshippo stores in Shanghai. The collaboration with Alibaba Group’s Freshippo, a cutting-edge new retail platform, marks the first rollout of Beyond Meat products in supermarkets in mainland China.

After offering the Beyond Burger in 50 Shanghai Freshippo stores throughout the summer, Beyond Meat plans to expand its Beyond Burger to an additional 48 Freshippo stores in Beijing and Hangzhou starting in September 2020. The Beyond Burger will also be available on the Freshippo mobile app so customers can have delicious plant-based meals delivered on demand and enjoy the product with their friends and family from the comfort of their own homes.

Ethan Brown, founder and CEO of Beyond Meat, said of the partnership, “We know that retail will be a critical part of our success in China, and we’re pleased to mark this early milestone within a few months of our market entry. Following recent foodservice announcements with Starbucks, KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell in China, as well as our distribution partnership with Sinodis, expanding into retail is the natural next step in building our market presence. We are proud to partner with Alibaba’s Freshippo, a dominant player in the retail space, to introduce our hallmark Beyond Burger to home cooks throughout China.”

\n

Jiayu Zhao, Senior Director and Head of Merchandising of Freshippo said, “Beyond Meat and Freshippo share a vision of bringing innovative shopping experiences and products to our customers. Freshippo’s New Retail technology will enable plant-based meat to grow in China by meeting the modern Chinese consumer’s expectations whether they are shopping online or offline. We have seen a growing interest in plant-based meat among our shoppers and look forward to offering more Beyond Meat products in the future.”

In Freshippo locations around Shanghai, the Beyond Burger will be located in the frozen meat section, offering Chinese customers more choice when it comes to their protein options and greater visibility for plant-based meat in China. Fans looking to try the Beyond Burger can visit the Freshippo Jinqiao store on Saturday, July 18 to enjoy a live cooking demo with chef Frank Chen and free Beyond Burger samples, giveaways and more.

The Beyond Burger: A Sizzling Sensation
Making a positive nutritional and environmental impact are at the core of Beyond Meat’s mission. The plantbased Beyond Burger is designed to look, cook and taste like a minced beef burger but is made from simple, plant-based ingredients without soy or gluten. The Beyond Burger patty delivers a juicy, satisfying burger eating experience, without the compromise. Compared to 80/20 minced beef, per 113g the Beyond Burger patty offers:
• A rich source of protein with 20g per 113g serving, derived from peas, mung beans and rice
• 35% less saturated fat
• Less total fat
• More iron
• No antibiotics or hormones

The Beyond Burger is not just limited to burgers— there are a whole host of recipes that can utilize the revolutionary plant-based meat to suit the needs of Chinese consumers. Whether stirred in with fried rice or noodles, sautéed with vegetables, or packed into a dumpling, the Beyond Burger is flexible enough to fit any cuisine and any palate.

A 2018 Life Cycle Assessment conducted by the University of Michigan found that producing the U.S. Beyond Burger patty uses 99% less water, 93% less land, 46% less energy and emits 90% fewer greenhouse gas emissions than producing a ¼ lb. U.S. beef burger patty. By building meat from plants, Beyond Meat is on a mission to improve human health, positively impact climate change, conserve natural resources and respect animal welfare. This mission is resonating with consumers globally who are looking for diversified protein options that are more nutritious, sustainable and humane.

STARBUCKS INSPIRES ‘GOOD GOOD’ LIFESTYLES TOWARDS A BETTER PLANET

\n

Partners with Beyond Meat, Inc. to launch plant-based food menu in China

\n

Expands non-dairy choices with oatmilk in partnership with Oatly

\n

Shanghai, China – April 21, 2020— Today, Starbucks joined forces in China with plant-based innovators, Beyond Meat, Inc. and Oatly, to launch a new ‘Starbucks GOOD GOOD’ movement in its stores, inspiring Chinese customers to explore new lifestyles that are good for the planet. The platform features a new plant-based food and beverage menu, compostable packaging for food items, and merchandise made from recycled content. The launch of this new platform in China marks another step towards Starbucks global aspiration to become a resource positive company, giving more than it takes from the planet.

\n

“Starbucks is thrilled to partner with Beyond Meat, Inc. to provide even more choices to consumers through innovative new plant-based offerings. Our new menu items make it easy and enjoyable to explore new lifestyles that are good for the planet, starting from what we eat and drink. Through the ‘Starbucks GOOD GOOD’ movement, we seek to inspire new routines by inviting everyone to eat good, feel good and do good. Together, we can take a small, humble step to make a better world,” said Leo Tsoi, senior vice president, chief operating officer and president, Starbucks China Retail.

\n

The ‘Starbucks GOOD GOOD’ movement highlights Starbucks conviction to live up to its responsibility as a force for good, and use its scale to drive positive change. Starbucks invites new generations of Chinese consumers to effect real change by taking simple actions in their daily lives to make the world better. As a leading innovator in the industry, Starbucks is committed to constantly reimagining its menu to offer a range of food and beverage choices for customers. The company also continues to explore creative new solutions with customers beyond its menu to create a positive impact on the environment and support their lifestyles.

\n

Debuting plant-based food menu choices

\n

Starbucks is bringing plant-based menu items featuring Beyond Meat, Inc. to the Chinese mainland market for the first time. Culinary experts from Starbucks created three delicious new dishes inspired by modern, international favorites and designed with the palates of Chinese consumers in mind. Each dish features plant-based Beyond Beef™ which replicates the taste and texture of minced beef.

\n

“Today we mark an important milestone as Beyond Meat launches in China, advancing our goal of increasing accessibility to plant-based protein globally. Starbucks is a trusted brand with a strong market presence and deep understanding of customers in China, and we’re pleased to partner with them on our market entry. We believe the new Beyond Beef menu items deliver on our promise of enabling consumers to Eat What You Love™ while also enjoying the nutritional and environmental benefits of plant-based protein,” said Ethan Brown, Beyond Meat, Inc. Founder and CEO. “We are proud to support Starbucks in furthering their efforts around health and sustainability while offering Chinese consumers more diverse protein options.”

\n

Additionally, Starbucks is offering two more tasty dishes featuring OmniPork, a plant-based protein that pairs well with Asian dishes.

\n

Packaging for the new menu items is made from compostable, plant-based material which has received OK Compost HOME and INDUSTRIAL certifications, widely recognized international standards. Products also feature a thoughtfully designed sleeve using materials recycled from milk cartons that opens up to form a meal mat, reducing the need for cleaning up. A handle is integrated into the packaging design to remove any need for secondary packaging.

\n

Expanding non-dairy choices with oatmilk

\n

Starbucks is also introducing oatmilk to all stores in China with Oatly, to offer more non-dairy choices for customers. Customers at all Starbucks stores across the Chinese mainland may now customize their favorite Starbucks® beverages with oatmilk with no additional charge. The smooth and mellow texture of oatmilk pairs perfectly with the Starbucks signature espresso, accentuating its full-bodied taste and velvety microfoam.

\n

In addition to the new customization choices, Starbucks has created oatmilk versions of two signature Starbucks® beverages, as well as a special limited time offer beverage (See appendix for more details).

\n

Starbucks has offered soymilk in China since 2007, and the introduction of oatmilk provides customers another unique way to customize their Starbucks Experience.

\n

“It’s a significant step for the growing plant based movement that Starbucks customers in China can now enjoy their favorite beverage with Oatly,” said Toni Petersson, Global CEO of Oatly, the original oatmilk brand from Sweden. “Oatly pairs extremely well with espresso and creates a wonderfully dense and creamy foam for lattes. It is our hope that once customers in China experience how great Starbucks coffee tastes with our oatmilk, they will be inspired to join the ‘Starbucks GOOD GOOD’ movement to drive positive change.”

\n

Inspiring ‘Starbucks GOOD GOOD’ daily lifestyles

\n

Starbucks has also launched a line of stylish and creative merchandise that can be woven into customers’ everyday lifestyles. This includes tumblers and notebooks that are partially made with recycled coffee grounds collected from Starbucks stores. The coffee grounds are processed and mixed with polypropene to form an industrial grade material with over 30 percent recycled coffee ground content, which can potentially be used to manufacture a variety of lifestyle items. To further bring this new approach to sustainability to life in Starbucks cafes, furniture made from this material will be rolled out into stores in the near future.

\n

To encourage customers to make ‘Starbucks GOOD GOOD’ part of their lifestyles, the company has also created ‘Starbucks GOOD GOOD’ Wednesdays, which aims to engage customers every week with new ideas to take small actions that are good for the planet.

\n

Building on Starbucks global sustainability commitments

\n

The ‘Starbucks GOOD GOOD’ movement marks the latest chapter in Starbucks sustainability commitment announced earlier this year. As part of this commitment, the company announced plans to build a Coffee Innovation Park in China by 2022, which aims to become the most energy, water and waste efficient roasting operations for Starbucks around the world.

\n

Last year, Starbucks also eliminated plastic straws from all of its stores in the Chinese mainland, saving about 200 tons of plastic waste annually. It is now accelerating the rollout of new waste sorting stations and will complete installation in over 80 percent of its stores by the end of September 2020.

\n

Globally, Starbucks has set science-based preliminary targets for a 50 percent reduction in carbon emissions, water use and waste by 2030, as part of its multi-decade aspiration to become a resource positive company.

We're taking Finland by storm, one (Beyond) burger at a time!

\n

With a growing European presence, Beyond Meat has quickly become a fan favorite among Finnish households. But one restaurant took it a step further - ditching animal products altogether.

\n

When gourmet burger chain, Bun2Bun heard Beyond Meat would be headed to Finland, they were eager to board the plant-based train. But rather than just adding the Beyond Burger to the menu, the restaurant owners chose to take it a step further - a massive menu overhaul.

\n

\"When we heard we would get the Beyond Burger to Finland, we decided to ditch all our beef-based burgers and switch to a 100% vegan menu with the Beyond Burger as the main ingredient,\" said Bun2Bun.

\n

The results? Bun2Bun in BOOMING.

\n

\"The sales skyrocketed right away,\" according to the eatery. \"Our sales grew 400% right from the first day we introduced our all-vegan burger menu based on the Beyond Burger on December 12th. Now it's been a month and the clients just keep coming. And loving our burgers (and your product).\"

\n

This is a success story that goes beyond our wildest dreams.

\n

In addition to being sold at four Bun2Bun restaurants, our Finnish friends can find The Beyond Burger at 31 Scandic Hotels and eleven Classic American Diners. Check out our store locator to find a restaurant near you!

\n

Perfectly seasoned, pre-rolled and ready to simmer in your favorite sauce, the better-for-you Beyond Meatballs make for a deliciously satisfying and convenient plant-based meal

\n

Fans in Los Angeles and New York can be among the first to experience the plant-based goodness at an exclusive Beyond Meatball Shop pop-up on September 16

\n

EL SEGUNDO, Calif., Sept. 14, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Beyond Meat, Inc. (NASDAQ: BYND), a leader in plant-based meat, today announced that Beyond MeatballsTM will be rolling into grocery stores nationwide starting this week. With more consumers looking for nutritious options that are delicious and easy to prepare,1 Beyond Meatballs are conveniently pre-seasoned with a signature blend of Italian spices, pre-rolled and ready to cook. The nutritious plant-based meatballs are made from simple, plant-based ingredients with no GMOs, soy, gluten or synthetic ingredients and have 30% less saturated fat and sodium.2

\n

Beyond Meatballs will be launching at grocery stores nationwide including Whole Foods Market, Stop & Shop, Sprouts, Harris Teeter, Kroger, Albertsons, and others by early October. Sold in the fresh meat section with a suggested retail price of $6.99 for 12 meatballs, Beyond Meatballs have a juicy, meaty taste and texture, with a versatile flavor profile perfect for pastas, sandwiches, pizzas, soups and more.

\n

After the launch of Beyond Breakfast Sausage® and Cookout Classic™, Beyond Meatballs are the third new retail product introduced in 2020 and the latest addition to the company’s growing portfolio. Beyond Meat’s expansive retail presence spans approximately 26,000 outlets across the U.S. and consumers have made their preference for Beyond Meat clear: according to the most recent SPINS data for the latest 4-week period ending August 9, 2020, Beyond Meat was the #1 selling brand in refrigerated plant-based meat.

\n

“We’re thrilled to introduce Beyond Meatballs as they deliver on consumers’ growing demand for delicious and nutritious plant-based meat options without GMOs or synthetic ingredients,” said Stuart Kronauge, Chief Marketing Officer, Beyond Meat. “We are proud to introduce our newest innovation at retailers nationwide and know our fans will be excited about the great taste and convenience of Beyond Meatballs.”

\n\n

Recently, the findings from a clinical study using Beyond Meat’s plant-based products were published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. In the study conducted at Stanford University, researchers evaluated the impact of replacing animal-based meat with plant-based meat over an 8-week period on cholesterol levels (including LDL), heart disease risk factors including TMAO levels, and body weight, and found improvement in key health metrics when participants replaced animal-based meat with plant-based meat. The results provide yet another data point in a growing field of research about how plant-based meat can help people live healthier lives, and Beyond Meat is committed to supporting further academic and scientific study into the impacts of plant-based meats on health.

\n

If you are looking to do your part for the environment and reduce your water consumption, the common advice is to do things like turn off the water when you brush your teeth, upgrade to low-flow fixtures and toilets, or take shorter showers. But the most effective way to reduce your water consumption has nothing to do with how long your showers are. It has to do with what you eat.

\n

In terms of energy resources used, animal products are incredibly inefficient. Beef is the worst offender with a single pound of beef requiring about 1,799 gallons of water to produce. That’s right! A POUND of beef requires 1,799 gallons. To put this into perspective, you could give up showering for an entire year and still not save as much water as is required to make a pound of beef.

\n

According to Waterfootprint.org, most of the water used in animal product production goes to produce feed for the animals (98%) – that’s water for all the crops which animals eat. It should go without saying that it would be more efficient to just feed people the crops directly instead of using them to feed animals for meat. The rest of the water used in producing animals goes for drinking water, service water, and feed mixing water.

\n

By comparison, plants have a much lower water footprint than meat and animal products do. Let’s take a look at the water footprint comparison:

\n

(Gallons required per 1lb of product)

\n

~Beef = 1,799

\n

~Sheep = 731

\n

~Cheese = 600

\n

~Pork = 576

\n

~Chicken = 468

\n

~Rice = 449

\n

~Soy = 216

\n

~Wheat = 132

\n

~Potato = 119

\n

~Corn = 108

\n

 

\n

Bear in mind that these amounts can vary between reports. The amount of water required to produce food depends on many local factors, such as production system, climate, and feed used for animals. However, the fact remains consistent that beef and animal products require much more water than plant foods (chocolate is one of the only exception to this).

\n

But wait – meat has more protein than plant foods do, so this evens things out, right? Wrong! Even when we look at water consumption per gram of protein, vegetables will win. It takes 1.5 times more water to produce a gram of protein from chicken than it does from pulses (such as lentils or chickpeas). For beef, it takes 6x more water to produce a gram of protein than a gram of protein from pulses.

\n

So if you want to do your part for the environment and reduce water consumption, reduce your meat consumption!

One of the many benefits of switching to a plant-based diet is increased energy. But, if you’ve ever gone to a local vegan coffee bar and seen all the dreary-eyed zombies mulling in line, then you know that even people on an all-veg diet can feel zapped of energy sometimes. Hint: the coffee isn’t going to help! Instead, try these ways to boost energy levels.

Have Your B12 Levels Checked

\n

B vitamins are needed to convert food into energy. If you don’t have enough B vitamins, then your cells’ mitochondria won’t be able to generate enough energy and it will lead to a slippery slope of symptoms which go well beyond just fatigue. In the short run, inadequate B vitamins can mean tiredness, depression, and mental fog.In the long run, inadequate B vitamins can mean permanent nerve damage.

\n

Most B vitamins are readily found in plant foods.However, B12 is only found in animal products. As a result, vegans and vegetarians who aren’t supplementing are at risk of B12 deficiency.It isn’t just plant-based eaters either.Studies suggest that 15-40% of Americans don’t get enough B12. Have your B12 levels checked to make sure levels are adequate. If they aren’t, eat foods which are rich in B12 – like the Beast Burger! (Source)

\n
\n

More Greens in Your Life

\n

There is a good reason mom always said to “eat your greens.” Dark, leafy greens are some of the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet.They contain high amounts of iron (fatigue is one of the symptoms of iron deficiency), magnesium, potassium, vitamin C, antioxidants, and more.

\n

Don’t like to eat greens?You can try hiding them in a green smoothie. Or teach yourself to like them by gradually adding more greens to each meal.

\n
\n

Drink More Water

\n

Most of us wait until we feel thirsty before we drink water. But by then it may be too late. According to dehydration expert Lawrence E. Armstrong, our sense of thirst doesn’t appear until we are 1-2% dehydrated. Even this mild level of dehydration can cause fatigue, alter mood, and impair our ability to think clearly. (Source)

\n
\n

Cut Out Refined Sugars

\n

Our energy is regulated by blood sugar levels.When you eat something sugary like a candy bar, it causes your blood sugar to skyrocket – causing a burst of energy. The problem is that this energy soon comes plummeting down. And, when your blood sugar levels drop, you start craving more sugary foods.

\n

Instead of putting your body through a rollercoaster of high-low blood sugar levels, avoid sugary foods.This means refined sugars as well as starchy foods such as bread made from white flour.

\n
\n

Eat At Regular Intervals

\n

With our busy lives, it is easy to skip a meal. Without regular food intake, your blood sugar levels will drop and you will feel sluggish. By eating at regular intervals throughout the day, you help keep your blood sugar levels steady so tiredness stays at bay. Keep some healthy snacks on hand at all times. Avoid sugary snacks and opt for the slow-burning sources of energy like whole grains, oats, nuts, and veggies. Also try to eat protein and fiber with each meal as this will slow down the absorption of sugars so you feel full – and alert – for longer.

Beyond Meat® Announces Global Strategic Partnership with Yum! Brands to Offer Signature Plant-Based Menu Items

El Segundo, CA February 25, 2021 – Beyond Meat, Inc. (NASDAQ: BYND) today announced a global strategic partnership with Yum! Brands (NYSE: YUM) to co-create and offer craveable and innovative plant-based protein menu items that can only be found at KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell over the next several years. Beyond Meat® and Yum! Brands expect to leverage their industry-leading research and development capabilities to meet the evolving tastes of the consumers of today and tomorrow.

“We are honored to enter into a global strategic partnership with Yum! Brands, one of the world's largest restaurant companies. We look forward to expanding our work with the teams at Yum's iconic KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell brands to together bring truly delicious plant-based product innovation to consumers,\" said Ethan Brown, Beyond Meat Founder & CEO.

Beyond Meat’s strategic partnership with Yum! Brands will be an expansion of the companies’ growing track record of collaborations to offer delicious and sustainable plant-based products. KFC was the first national U.S. quick-service restaurant to introduce plant-based chicken when it tested Beyond Fried Chicken™ at an Atlanta-area restaurant in 2019. Since the initial rollout, KFC has expanded testing of Beyond Fried Chicken in other U.S. cities. In 2020, Pizza Hut U.S. launched the Beyond Italian Sausage Pizza and the Great Beyond Pizza nationwide, becoming the first national pizza chain to introduce a plant-based meat pizza coast-to-coast.

Through this collaboration, Yum! Brands will build on its tradition of food innovation and creating new consumer markets for industry-defining items and increase the number of plant-based options that appeal to flexitarians, those looking to incorporate plant-based meat or more diverse protein options into their diets.

“Today’s announcement builds on our strong relationship with Beyond Meat and, given the consumer response during recent tests with Beyond Meat, we’re excited about the long-term potential plant-based protein menu items have to attract more customers to our brands, especially younger consumers,” said Chris Turner, Yum! Brands CFO. “We expect this Beyond Meat partnership to strengthen our brands’ capability to offer delicious, plant-based menu items that are driven by consumer demand for more diverse protein options and our brands’ strategies in local markets.”

Terms of the global strategic partnership are subject to mutually agreeable definitive agreements.

taste of classic Chinese delicacies. While the plant-based Beyond Beef™ featured in the dishes
is designed to look, cook and taste like animal-based meat, it is in fact made using simple, plantbased ingredients. By using high-quality protein from plant sources such as peas and rice, Beyond Meat captures the culinary versatility and juicy, meaty texture of animal protein while providing the nutritional and environmental benefits of plant-based meat.

The new menu items include:
⚫ Red Quinoa Salad

⚫ Nutty Spicy Plant-Based Beef
⚫ Fried Lotus Root Bites
⚫ Cheese Plant-Based Meatballs
⚫ West Lake Plant-Based Beef Soup
⚫ Yibin Burning Noodles

Beyond Meat. Since 1993, it has been combining the cooking skills of Northern and Southern
China at its multiple outlets and has implemented a mission of promoting sustainable
development while respecting nature and life. Through this partnership, Jindingxuan and Beyond
Meat are able to advance their common goals of protecting the environment and providing
Chinese diners with a richer selection of delicious plant-based proteins.

“We are very pleased to be showcasing Beyond Meat in several unique, distinctly flavorful dishes
on the menu at Jindingxuan,\" says Ms. Candy Chan, General Manager, Beyond Meat China,
“Using Beyond Beef in eight different items inspired from local cuisines across China underscores
the product’s ability to deliver on the delicious taste, texture and culinary versatility of minced beef
while delivering the added benefits of plant-based meat.\"

“We are committed to providing our diners with authentic cuisine from both Northern and Southern
China that is better for their health and the health of the environment,” says Jindingxuan, “Beyond
Meat is a great new partner to achieve these goals and the introduction of these dishes will provide
our customers with tasty and satisfying new choices across several restaurant locations.”

All eight of the new plant-based meat dishes are available now in 18 Jindingxuan restaurants in

BEYOND MEAT TAKES PLANT-BASED MEAT OUTDOORS AT THE ADIDAS TERREX OFF-MOUNTAIN GATHERING

Building on their shared mission of health and sustainable development, Beyond Meat and adidas TERREX brought together outdoor enthusiasts to try the iconic Beyond Burger® and join in a range of thematic workshops

Shanghai, China – August 6, 2021 – Beyond Meat, Inc. (NASDAQ: BYND), a leader in plantbased meat, linked up with adidas TERREX, adidas’ high performance outdoor sports brand, to
bring its plant-based meat to the outdoors community. Building on their shared values of
sustainability and health, the two brands collaborated on a high-spirited consumer activation on
August 5 – adidas TERREX Off-Mountain Gathering - in the middle of Shanghai’s bustling city
center. Outdoor lifestyle fans gathered at the exclusive event located at niko and…, the popular
lifestyle and retail destination, to celebrate their love of the great outdoors and build community
around a sustainable and healthy lifestyle. 

As part of its mission to inspire consumers through satiating plant-based meat products, Beyond
Meat offered attendees three premium variations of the iconic Beyond Burger® via a custom
branded food station. In the lively communal space inspired by outdoors topography, attendees
enjoyed their choice of a delicious Grilled BBQ Pineapple Beyond Burger, Grilled Everything
Beyond Burger or Spicy Salsa Beyond Burger. Guests also took part in a series of workshops,
including printmaking, upcycled bag customization and night cycling, to explore how to bring more
creativity, sustainability and physical activity into everyday life.

Like all Beyond Meat products, the Beyond Burger is made with plant-based ingredients.
Mouthwateringly juicy while also being better for people and for the planet, the Beyond Burger is
becoming a globally-recognized brand of the growing cultural shift towards plant-based meat. As
more consumers are becoming aware of the health and environmental implications of their
everyday choices, Beyond Meat products offer a small but significant way of making an impact
on healthy living, the planet and animal welfare -- all at the same time. The Beyond Burger is a
rich source of protein with 20g per 113g serving, and 35% less saturated fat compared to standard
80/20 minced beef. The plant-based patty is also far more efficient and sustainable to produce
than traditional minced beef. A 2018 Life Cycle Analysis conducted by the University of Michigan1
found that producing the US Beyond Burger patty uses 99% less water, 93% less land, 46% less
energy and emits 90% fewer greenhouse gas emissions than producing a ¼ lb. US beef burger
patty.

Ivy Xu, Brand & PR Director, Beyond Meat China, said of the event, “Beyond Meat is thrilled to
join up with adidas TERREX to support people in living an active and sustainable lifestyle. At
Beyond Meat, we believe that the positive choices we all make, from what we eat to what we
wear, can have a great impact on healthy living and the health of our planet.”

BEYOND MEAT® AND PIZZA HUT PARTNER TO DELIVER ICONIC NEW PIZZA RANGE TO U.K. CUSTOMERS

\n

Available via Pizza Hut Delivery for a limited time only, Beyond Meat Pizzas bring delicious and sustainable plant-based protein toppings to the iconic Pizza Hut recipe, responding to consumer demand for more plant-based products

One lucky customer received a surprise delivery of Pizza Hut’s brand-new Beyond Meat Pizza from British TV personality Ryan Thomas

\n

London, November 10, 2020 - Beyond Meat, Inc., a leader in plant-based meat, and Pizza Hut today announced the exciting launch of Beyond Meat® Pizzas in the U.K. Designed to appeal to meat lovers and vegetarians alike, the new plant-based protein pizza toppings provide fans with even more delicious and sustainable options, and are available now for a limited time only at select Pizza Hut Delivery locations in London, Liverpool and Luton, while supplies last.

The brand-new partnership makes Pizza Hut the first national pizza chain in the U.K. to offer customers Beyond Meat toppings. The two iconic brands have come together to create several new pizza offerings that feature Beyond Meat’s range of new plant-based protein toppings: Beyond Italian Style Sausage, Beyond Pork™ Crumbles and Beyond Beef™ Crumbles. These toppings have been carefully developed to offer the same taste and flavour profile as Pizza Hut’s traditional meat toppings, making them the perfect option for carnivores and flexitarians who want the juicy, meaty experience they know and love, with the benefits of plant-based protein.

The innovative new line-up of Beyond Meat Pizzas will include plant-based twists to popular
Pizza Hut favourites as well as brand new flavour combinations:
● Beyond Three-Meat Supreme: fresh tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese topped with
plant-based Beyond Italian Style Sausage, Beyond Pork Crumbles, Beyond Beef
Crumbles, peppers, mushrooms and red onions.
● Beyond Italian Style Sausage Supreme: fresh tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese topped with plant-based Beyond Italian Style Sausage, peppers, mushrooms and red onions.
● Beyond Beef Sizzler: fresh tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese topped with plantbased Beyond Beef Crumbles, red onion, jalapeños and green chillies.
● Beyond Pork & Sweet Chilli: plant-based Beyond Pork Crumbles, mozzarella cheese, garlic, mushroom and red peppers on top of a sweet chilli sauce base.
● Beyond Italian Style Sausage Tear & Share Topper: mozzarella cheese and garlic folded pizza topped with plant-based Beyond Italian Style Sausage and cut into strips.

The pizza toppings were developed in response to the growing customer demand for more plant-based options. Both Pizza Hut and Beyond Meat recognise the importance and benefits of having more diverse protein options, and the two companies have come together to develop a whole range of new pizzas for customers to enjoy.

To celebrate the partnership, British TV personality Ryan Thomas rode an electric scooter to deliver the limited-edition product to Pizza Hut’s most loyal customer in Islington, North London. The surprised customer received Pizza Hut’s Beyond Three-Meat Supreme, which sees the iconic Pizza Hut dough base topped with Beyond Italian Style Sausage, Beyond Pork Crumbles, Beyond Beef Crumbles and fresh vegetables – offering plant-based deliciousness that delivers the authentic Pizza Hut taste fans crave.

Ethan Brown, Founder & CEO at Beyond Meat said, “Our partnership with Pizza Hut is a category first and together we will continue to raise the bar on game changing product innovations. We’re thrilled to be on this journey with Pizza Hut that enables us to further increase access to delicious, better-for-you plant-based meat as we continue to expand our partnership with Yum! Brands.”

Regina Borda, Managing Director at Pizza Hut Europe said, \"We are delighted to be the first pizza chain to bring Beyond Meat toppings to the U.K. We are constantly challenging ourselves to bring new innovations to our customers, and the Beyond Meat Pizzas are a great option for those looking to try plant-based protein without sacrificing the iconic flavour and texture of our traditional pizzas. Our consumers’ preferences are of utmost importance to us, and Beyond Meat’s commitment to leading the category in product innovation, high-quality ingredients and accessibility made them the ideal partner for this historic launch.”

This landmark announcement comes as part of a broader launch between the two brands that is anchored in delivering mouthwatering and sustainable cutting-edge innovations to pizza lovers in the U.K. and beyond. Starting today, fans in the United States will also be able to enjoy Beyond Pan Pizzas at Pizza Hut restaurants nationwide for a limited time while supplies last.

\n

The delicious new range of Beyond Meat Pizzas is currently available at five Delivery Huts in London, Liverpool, and Luton, while supplies last. Customers who order a Beyond Meat Pizza at Pizza Hut from 10 November until supplies last, have the chance to win a Beyond Golden Ticket, offering them a £20 voucher to redeem against any Pizza Hut Delivery products.

Customers may be able to take advantage of Pizza Hut’s deal, offering 1 large pizza, 1 classic side, 1 any side and a 1.5L drink for £19.99 (terms and conditions apply).

BEYOND MEAT® INTRODUCES A WHOLE NEW WAY TO SHOP BEYOND WITH LAUNCH OF NEW E-COMMERCE SITE

\n

Beyond Meat, the #1 selling brand in all refrigerated plant-based meat, is available at 26,000 retail locations nationwide and now via new direct-to-consumer platform

\n

EL SEGUNDO, Calif., Aug. 27, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In an effort to make plant-based meat accessible to more consumers, Beyond Meat, Inc. (NASDAQ: BYND) is launching a new e-commerce site and a whole new way to shop for Beyond Meat products. Featuring unparalleled access to a vast portfolio of signature plant-based meats, including all-new bulk packs, mixed product bundles, limited-time offers, trial packs and more, the direct-to-consumer site is a new and convenient way to experience Beyond Meat.

\n

Available for order in the contiguous U.S., the online shop brings the plant-based meat consumers know and love directly to their doors, with 2-day1 shipping included on all orders. The addition of a direct-to-consumer site complements the company’s expansive retail presence in 26,000 retail outlets across the US, including Target, Walmart, Kroger, Safeway and Whole Foods, as well as at club stores like Costco, Sam’s Club and BJ’s Wholesale. Consumers have made their preference for Beyond Meat clear – according to the most recent 4-week SPINS data ending July 12, 2020, Beyond Meat was the #1 selling brand in refrigerated plant-based meat.

\n

Starting today at shop.beyondmeat.com fans can order a variety of items, including:

\n\n

Aligning with Beyond Meat’s commitment to sustainability, each order is packaged in an insulated shipping box, which can be recycled, and is shipped via UPS carbon neutral shipping. Through this program, UPS supports wastewater treatment and landfill gas capture projects that offset projected emissions from the shipment.

\n

Beyond Meat products are made with simple, plant-based ingredients with no GMOs or artificially produced ingredients. Recently, the findings from a clinical study using Beyond Meat’s plant-based products were published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. In the study conducted at Stanford University, researchers evaluated the impact of replacing animal-based meat with plant-based meat over an 8-week period on cholesterol levels (including LDL), heart disease risk factors including TMAO levels, and body weight, and found improvement in key health metrics when participants replaced animal-based meat with plant-based meat. The results provide yet another data point in a growing field of research about how plant-based meat can help people live healthier lives, and Beyond Meat is committed to supporting further academic and scientific study into the impacts of plant-based meats on health.

\n

Earlier this month Beyond Meat launched a new brand anthem, inviting consumers to join in the company’s mission by asking themselves: “What If We All Go Beyond?” The movement is built on the idea that collective actions – big and small – can affect extraordinary change on people’s health and the health of the planet. The launch of the company’s direct-to-consumer site is the latest effort in furthering the company’s goal to increase accessibility to plant-based meat and supporting consumers’ journeys in finding a better way to feed the future.

BEYOND MEAT® JOINS FORCES WITH EVERFI TO MAKE SUSTAINABILITY EDUCATION ACCESSIBLE TO STUDENTS NATIONWIDE

\n

EL SEGUNDO, Calif., Aug. 13, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Beyond Meat, Inc. (NASDAQ: BYND) announced today that it is collaborating with EVERFI, a leading digital education innovator, to create a science-based course on sustainability that will be available – at no cost – to students, teachers and parents  across the country. The course, designed for fifth through eighth graders, is grounded in real-world experiences and covers topics on global resource constraints, the importance of biodiversity, climate change and how to innovate for a healthy life. Beyond Meat feels strongly that to bring lasting change to our communities, all students should have access to education on future-defining topics like sustainability.

\n

On the heels of introducing its “What If We All Go Beyond” campaign, this course is another way that Beyond Meat is committed to creating a brighter future, by showing the next generation first-hand how their choices, each and every day, can make a big impact on themselves, their communities and the planet. Demand for such a curriculum is high with nearly all -- 98% -- of EVERFI teachers surveyed saying that they were ‘very’ and ‘extremely interested’ in a course on sustainability. Beyond Meat is pleased to work with EVERFI to increase access to quality educational programs for students across the U.S.

\n

“Health and sustainability are core to our mission at Beyond Meat, so we’re thrilled to partner with EVERFI to bring this digital course to students across the U.S.,” said Ethan Brown, Beyond Meat Founder & CEO. “We see food as a vehicle for change; this course being an important part of that commitment, helping students to learn more about the role of diet in health and sustainability.”

\n

“Helping children understand the importance of sustainability is critically important,” said Tom Davidson, Founder and CEO, EVERFI. “Beyond Meat is both a leader and innovator so it makes perfect sense that they would make a similar commitment to children by helping them understand the key factors related to sustainability. With this education, children will gain more clarity around the impact of their choices and may be inspired to make changes to some of their daily routines.”

\n

The strategic partnership between Beyond Meat and EVERFI is even more meaningful as Beyond Meat founder Ethan Brown and EVERFI founder Tom Davidson were childhood friends who sought to build mission-driven companies. Now the relationship has come full circle as Beyond Meat and EVERFI come together to inspire the next generation of students through impactful education.

\n

The course will launch in October and be available throughout the 2020-2021 school year. To accommodate the new landscape of virtual and at-home learning, students will be able to work with their teachers and schools to access the course online while learning from home. Throughout the year, Beyond Meat also plans to engage students across the country through activities and initiatives aimed at reinforcing and enhancing the curriculum.

\n

Since its founding, EVERFI digital learning has reached more than 41 million learners across the K-12, higher education, and adult markets with more than 250 digital education courses on social issues. The company relies on the support of private entities, like Beyond Meat, to fund the creation of new digital curricula, provide teachers nationwide with professional development on these critical areas and make significant investments in research and development.

\n

EL SEGUNDO, Calif., August 3, 2020 – Starting today, Beyond Meat® invites all consumers to join in the company’s mission by asking themselves: “What If We All Go Beyond?” The movement from the company is built on the idea that collective actions – big and small – can affect extraordinary change on people’s health and the health of the planet. This effort comes on the heels of an exciting year of growth for Beyond Meat, whose portfolio of plant-based proteins are available at approximately 94,000 retail and foodservice outlets in 75 countries worldwide.

The brand anthem will debut tonight with a broadcast TV spot airing during the Lakers vs. Jazz game on Spectrum Sportsnet. The spot features voice talent from Beyond Meat ambassador Octavia Spencer, who asks audiences to consider a future of food that’s better for people, animals and the planet – then reveals that it is already happening, as consumers have already started embracing plant-based protein as part of their everyday lives. Beyond Meat ambassador Todd Gurley makes an appearance in the spot, showcasing the number of athletes who have embraced plant-based meat as a delicious, nutritious option to fuel their performance.

The company, which is committed to using food as a vehicle for change, is using what’s at the center of the plate as a critical starting point to create a more equitable future for all. From its Feed a Million+ initiative focused on serving communities in need, to the company’s recent involvement as a founding partner in Chris Paul’s Social Change Fund aimed at addressing racial inequalities in nutrition access and health outcomes in Black communities and beyond, Beyond Meat’s goal is to increase accessibility of plant-based meat across all communities in an effort to serve consumer’s growing need for delicious, nutritious and sustainable protein. Beyond Meat will be extending this invitation to Go Beyond® to audiences in a number of ways in the coming months. This initial call to action is just the beginning in a robust journey aimed at inspiring consumers, engaging local communities, and rallying the brand’s network of ambassadors and fans to share in the company’s vision for the future of food.

“We are launching this movement to invite everyone to join us in a journey of creating the future of food. We want to show people how small actions collectively can make a big impact,” said Stuart Kronauge, Chief Marketing Officer, Beyond Meat. “We have a vision of a future where we can continue to eat what we love through the creation of delicious, nutritious options without the use of GMOs or synthetic ingredients. Where we source protein in a way that’s better for the environment and without harm to animals. Where plant-based options are more affordable and accessible. What’s amazing is that this future is already happening, and we hope even more people feel inspired to be a part of it.”

“I’m really proud to be a part of this movement and love that Beyond Meat is inviting us all to imagine a brighter future with the simple question: ‘What If We All Go Beyond?’,” said Octavia Spencer, actress, Beyond Meat ambassador, and the voice behind the TV spot. “I see the power of collective change happening all around us, and the future of our food is no different. My health is the reason that I’ve started eating more plant-based meat, and Beyond Meat’s products taste so good, it made the transition a welcomed change. I can’t wait to share the experience I’ve had with more people and invite them to try going beyond too.”

“I’m proud to be a part of Beyond Meat’s team and this movement – and not just because I love their products. When I supported the Feed a Million+ initiative, I saw firsthand the good that Beyond Meat does in the world, and how much they care about making plant-based meat available to all communities. The question of ‘What If We All Go Beyond?’ is powerful because it invites everyone in to join in the movement toward a brighter future,” said Todd Gurley, Falcons running back and Beyond Meat ambassador, who makes a cameo in tonight’s TV spot.

Audiences can learn more about the “What If We All Go Beyond?” movement on the company’s
website and social channels.

BEYOND MEAT® ANNOUNCES PARTNERSHIP WITH THE SOCIAL CHANGE FUND TO FIGHT RACIAL INEQUALITY
\n
\n
 
\n
Beyond Meat teams up with Social Change Fund and Beyond Meat investor and ambassador Chris Paul as part of the company’s commitment to create meaningful change for Black communities
\n
\n

EL SEGUNDO, Calif., July 22, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Beyond Meat, Inc. (NASDAQ: BYND), a leader in plant-based meat, will be partnering with the newly formed non-profit Social Change Fund to further the company’s commitment to fighting disparities in the Black community through initiatives tied to social justice, education and health equity. The Social Change Fund was created by Chris Paul, Dwyane Wade, Carmelo Anthony and a group of Black industry executives in response to the continued issue of racial injustice. Beyond Meat and the Social Change Fund both share the goal of creating lasting, systemic change for Black communities across America and fighting for justice on all fronts.

\n

“We are honored to join in partnership with Chris Paul, Dwyane Wade, and Carmelo Anthony in support of the Social Change Fund. Beyond Meat is dedicated to serving broader social goals, using what’s on the center of the plate as a critical starting point,” said Ethan Brown, Founder and CEO, Beyond Meat. “And we are excited to support and work with the Social Change Fund initiative to address racial inequalities in nutrition access and health outcomes in America.”

\n

“I’ve been a longtime supporter of Beyond Meat and am excited to welcome them as a founding partner into the Social Change Fund. Like the Social Change Fund, I know that Beyond Meat is committed to progress for our communities. I look forward to all the good that we can continue to do together,” said Chris Paul, Beyond Meat investor and ambassador.

\n

Beyond Meat believes food is a powerful vehicle for change, as seen in the impact of the company’s Feed a Million+ initiative. Launched in early April, the Feed a Million+ pledge aimed to provide more than 1 million Beyond Burgers and nourishing meals at no cost to frontline healthcare workers and communities in need. Beyond Meat rallied its employees and community of ambassadors and fans, including Chris Paul, Kevin Hart, Ashanti, Karlie Kloss, Lindsey Vonn and P.K. Subban, to nominate organizations to support. As the need continued to grow, Beyond Meat has already exceeded its commitment and provided over 5 million Beyond Burgers and nourishing meals through donations to organizations such as Feeding America, Food Bank For New York City, Lenox Hill Hospital, Cedars-Sinai, The Food Bank for Central & Northeast Missouri, DC Central Kitchen, Houston Food Bank, Second Harvest Canada and more.   

\n

About Social Change Fund
Launched by Chris Paul, Dwyane Wade, Carmelo Anthony and others in the Black community, the Social Change Fund is on a mission to invest in and support organizations that are working to liberate Black people and advocate for indigenous people and communities of color through the lens of policy solutions, community representation and narrative change. In partnership with influential organizations, the Social Change Fund will work to accelerate social change and sustainably build a fair, equitable society.

\n

Chris Paul is an investor and ambassador of Beyond Meat, and an active philanthropist. As an athlete, Beyond Meat’s mission aligns with Paul’s belief that food is foundational to well-being and that nutritious, tasty options be available to all. Earlier this year, Chris Paul and Beyond Meat CEO and Founder Ethan Brown joined Michelle Obama’s Partnership for a Healthier America to discuss the future of food and the role of companies like Beyond Meat in creating health equality.

BEYOND MEAT® BRINGS LATEST ITERATION OF THE BEYOND BURGER® TO CANADA, AVAILABLE AT MAJOR GROCERY STORES NATIONWIDE

\n

Made in Canada: Beyond Meat invests in local production with Quebec co-manufacturing facility 

\n

The 100% plant-based burger is even more juicy and delicious with 35% less saturated fat than a traditional beef burger

\n

TORONTO, July 22, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --  Beyond Meat® is announcing its latest iteration of the Beyond Burger®, produced locally at a co-manufacturing facility in Canada, is now available at major grocery stores nationwide. This latest version of the Beyond Burger, Beyond Meat’s flagship product, has 20g of protein derived from simple, plant-based ingredients like peas, mung beans and rice, and features marbling made from cocoa butter that is designed to melt and tenderize like beef.

\n

Canada continues to be an important part of Beyond Meat’s long-term growth strategy and producing the Beyond Burger locally in Canada enables Beyond Meat to better serve the Canadian market, while reducing the company’s environmental footprint.

\n

“We look forward to providing the Canadian consumer with our latest burger iteration and to furthering our commitment to this important market by investing in local production. Our process of rapid and relentless innovation in service of the consumer, and making investments in the markets we serve, are key pillars in our company’s strategy to provide delicious and nutritious plant-based protein with a lower environmental footprint,” said Ethan Brown, Founder and CEO of Beyond Meat.

\n

This latest iteration of the Beyond Burger represents Beyond Meat’s commitment to creating plant-based protein that is indistinguishable (in terms of taste, texture, colour and cooking experience) from its animal protein equivalent through its approach to rapid and relentless innovation.

\n

Made with simple, plant-based ingredients without GMOs, soy, gluten or artificially produced ingredients, the Beyond Burger is designed to meet, if not exceed, the nutritional profile of its animal protein equivalent. Compared to a traditional beef burger, this new version of the Beyond Burger contains:

\n\n

This latest Beyond Burger joins an already delicious line-up of innovative plant-based options available in grocery stores across Canada. Beyond Meat first entered the Canadian retail market with the launch of the iconic initial Beyond Burger in June 2019, followed by the launch of Beyond Beef® eight months later. Most recently, the brand launched Beyond Sausage® just in time for the grilling season, providing Canadians with even more better-for-you plant-based options.

\n

Canadians can now find the new Beyond Burger in the fresh meat counter of their local grocery store (SRP: $7.99 CAD). Look for the green circle on the package with a 35% less saturated fat call out to know it’s the new product.

EL SEGUNDO, Calif., June 17, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Beyond Meat, Inc. (NASDAQ: BYND), a leader in plant-based meat, is making plant-based burgers more accessible and affordable this summer with the introduction of Cookout Classic™, a limited edition burger 10-pack available at a majority of Walmart and Target stores nationwide and select retailers across the U.S. beginning the week of June 22. Sold in the frozen meat aisle with a suggested retail price of $15.99 ($1.60 per patty), the new offering will be available through mid-August, or until supplies last, and is intended to narrow the price gap between plant-based meat and animal protein, making delicious, nutritious and sustainable plant-based meat more accessible to more people.

\n

With growing consumer interest in plant-based protein, the Cookout Classic value pack is designed to inspire a shift to plant-based meat at barbecues and summer gatherings. The juicy and delicious burgers are made with simple, plant-based ingredients without GMOs, soy or gluten, and are packaged in a fully recyclable cardboard carton, aligning with Beyond Meat’s commitment to sustainability.

According to the most recent SPINS data, in the 4-week period ending May 17, 2020, Beyond Meat was the #1 brand in refrigerated plant-based meat and owned the top four selling items in all of plant-based meat.

\n

“With summer grilling season underway, we are pleased to launch Cookout Classic value packs nationwide at our most affordable price point to date, enabling more consumers to Eat What You Love™ while enjoying the nutritional and environmental benefits of plant-based meat,” said Ethan Brown, Founder and CEO, Beyond Meat. “This forward-looking pricing represents an important milestone along our journey to make Beyond Meat more accessible to all consumers.” 

\n

The introduction of Cookout Classic value packs is one of several initiatives aimed at increasing accessibility of Beyond Meat’s plant-based meat, including a new direct-to-consumer site expected to launch later this summer. Through July 4, fans can enjoy additional savings on Beyond Meat’s products found in the fresh meat case with promotions at major retailers including Kroger, Publix, Albertsons, Whole Foods Market, Shoprite, Giant Foods and Stop & Shop.

\n

To further engage consumers on the benefits of plant-based meat, Beyond Meat launched the Why Go Beyond content series, a compilation of personal stories from celebrity ambassadors and friends that uncovers why they have made the choice to shift their diets toward plant-based. Through these videos, Beyond Meat is inspiring people to see that the positive choices they make, no matter how small, can have a great impact on personal health and the health of our planet.

CARL’S JR.® AND HARDEE’S® INTRODUCE NEW BEYOND MEAT® ALL-DAY MENU ITEMS NATIONWIDE

\n

Restaurants build on success of Beyond Meat® partnership to become the first national U.S. quick service brands to introduce plant-based Beyond Meat options for breakfast, lunch and dinner

\n

FRANKLIN, Tenn. — December 18, 2020 — CKE, the parent company of Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s, today announced that the company will expand its partnership with Beyond Meat®, a leader in plant-based meat, with the introduction of new all-day plant-based protein options during breakfast, lunch and dinner nationwide.

\n

“Since its debut less than a year ago, Carl’s Jr. has sold more than 6.7 million Beyond Famous Star® burgers to-date, making it the most successful product launch in the past two years. We’re continuing to build on this success by expanding our Beyond Meat partnership to Hardee’s,” said Patty Trevino, Senior Vice President, Brand Marketing at CKE Restaurants. “As we head into 2020, the addition of these new options at both restaurants is one of the many ways we’re continuing to deliver the innovation and quality Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s are known for while appealing to new audiences including flexitarians, Gen Z and millennials.“

\n

The all-day expansion across the CKE restaurant system comes after a successful year for Carl’s Jr., which contributed to the plant-based trend in late 2018, when the restaurant partnered with Beyond Meat to become one of the first major U.S. quick service restaurants to offer a plant-based burger patty. Since launch, Carl’s Jr. has seen an uptick of new customers, due in part to the partnership. The brands continued this history of firsts as Carl’s Jr. became one of the first quick service restaurants to innovate on its Beyond Burger offering by launching the Beyond BBQ Cheeseburger, while Hardee’s became one of the first to test all-day Beyond Meat offerings for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

\n

“After a successful year with Carl’s Jr. and an initial test with Hardee’s, we’re thrilled to further expand the partnerships across the U.S. and have both brands be among the first to offer Beyond Meat at all times of day,” said Ethan Brown, CEO and Founder at Beyond Meat. “The new Beyond Breakfast Sausage™ is a game changer as it delivers the delicious quick serve breakfast experience that so many of us love and rely on, with the added nutritional and environmental benefits of plant-based meat.”

\n

The new menu options, which draw on Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s signature charbroiled patties and Made From Scratch™ biscuits, include the following:

\n\n

The new menu additions are available at Carl’s Jr. starting December 18, 2019, and at Hardee’s starting December 30, 2019. Pricing and participation vary by location.

DUNKIN’ AND BEYOND MEAT ACCELERATE NATIONWIDE LAUNCH OF BEYOND SAUSAGE® SANDWICH

\n

After a successful test in Manhattan, the Beyond Sausage Sandwich expands to more than 9,000 Dunkin’ restaurants across the U.S. beginning Nov. 6

\n

CANTON, MA (October 21, 2019) – Dunkin’ today marked a major step in making plant-based menu options easily accessible to Americans everywhere, announcing plans for the nationwide rollout of its highly-anticipated Beyond Sausage® Sandwich. First introduced exclusively in Manhattan in July, the Beyond Sausage Sandwich quickly became one of the top-selling sandwiches, driving Dunkin’ to accelerate plans for the national launch, with participating U.S. restaurants serving the Beyond Sausage Sandwich beginning November 6.

\n

Dunkin’ is the first nationwide U.S. quick service restaurant brand to Go Beyond™ traditional on-the-go breakfast choices by serving Beyond Breakfast Sausage™. Offering the delicious taste and texture of a juicy, savory breakfast sausage patty, Dunkin’s Beyond Sausage Sandwich features Beyond Meat’s breakfast sausage patty made with 100% plant-based protein and a mix of spices crafted specifically for Dunkin’. The Beyond Breakfast Sausage patty features 10g of plant-based protein and is served on an English muffin with egg and American cheese. The Beyond Sausage Sandwich has 29% less total fat, 33% less saturated fat and fewer calories, cholesterol and sodium than a traditional Dunkin’ Sausage, Egg and Cheese Breakfast Sandwich on an English muffin.

\n

Dunkin’ is celebrating the national launch with its first-ever, multi-day sandwich-tasting event. To give guests a chance to experience the great taste of this plant-based sausage for themselves, on Friday, November 8 and Saturday, November 9 from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m., guests at participating Dunkin’ U.S. restaurants are invited to enjoy a complimentary sample of the Beyond Sausage Sandwich, while supplies last.

\n

According to Dave Hoffmann, Dunkin’ Brands Chief Executive Officer and Dunkin’ U.S. President, “We are extremely proud of our partnership with Beyond Meat and thrilled to be the first U.S. quick service restaurant to offer Beyond Breakfast Sausage nationwide. Dunkin’ is the brand that democratizes trends for America, and this latest addition to our menu gives consumers more choice to meet their evolving needs. As we continue to transform our brand, we’re proud to use our platform to give everyone the opportunity to enjoy the great taste and benefits of plant-based protein.”

\n

“We're excited to introduce the Beyond Sausage Sandwich nationwide and in doing so, offer an option with fewer calories, less total fat, saturated fat, cholesterol and sodium, while delivering more protein and iron than a comparable pork sausage sandwich,” said Ethan Brown, Beyond Meat Founder and CEO. “We are excited that everyone who runs on Dunkin’ now has the option to make a delicious plant-based sausage sandwich part of their day.\"

CHICAGO – September 26, 2019 – McDonald’s will be conducting a 12-week test of a new plant based burger called the P.L.T., which stands for Plant. Lettuce. Tomato. in 28 restaurants in Southwestern Ontario, starting September 30. The P.L.T. is made with a Beyond Meat® plant-based patty that has been crafted exclusively by McDonald’s, for McDonald’s, to deliver the iconic taste customers know and love. 

\n

“McDonald’s has a proud legacy of fun, delicious and craveable food—and now, we’re extending that to a test of a juicy, plant-based burger,” said Ann Wahlgren, McDonald’s VP of Global Menu Strategy. “We’ve been working on our recipe and now we’re ready to hear feedback from our customers.”

\n

The McDonald’s P.L.T. is a delicious, juicy, perfectly dressed plant-based burger on a warm, soft, sesame seed bun with the iconic McDonald’s taste customers have come to love from McDonald’s. Featuring a plant-based patty with no artificial colors, artificial flavors, or artificial preservatives, it’s a great-tasting “open wide and sink your teeth into it” sandwich. The P.L.T. will be priced at $6.49 CAD plus tax.

\n

Global tests like these offer innovation and variety to customers in a test market while McDonald’s stays laser-focused on running great restaurants around the world. 

\n

“During this test, we’re excited to hear what customers love about the P.L.T. to help our global markets better understand what’s best for their customers,” said Wahlgren. “This test allows us to learn more about real-world implications of serving the P.L.T., including customer demand and impact on restaurant operations.”

PUTTING THEIR MONEY WHERE THEIR MOUTH IS: GROWING LIST OF ALL-STAR ATHLETES INVEST IN BEYOND MEAT®

\n

Kyrie Irving, Chris Paul, DeAndre Hopkins and others are backing the brand after experiencing first-hand the health and performance benefits of plant-based meat

\n

Aligning with the brand’s rallying cry to Go Beyond, the growing roster of investors and ambassadors is comprised of individuals who shatter the status quo to pursue the extraordinary

\n

EL SEGUNDO, Calif.--Some of the biggest names in sports, from Kyrie Irving to Chris Paul, are investing in Beyond Meat® after discovering the power of plant-based eating. More than anyone, athletes intuitively understand the connection between what they put in their body and how it performs, and these powerhouses are betting that Beyond Meat is The Future of Protein®. The new Beyond Meat investors and ambassadors include Kyrie Irving, Shaquille O’Neal, Chris Paul, DeAndre Hopkins, Victor Oladipo, Lindsey Vonn, DeAndre Jordan, JaVale McGee, Harrison Barnes, Malcolm Jenkins, Derrick & Charity Morgan, Alex Honnold, Shaun White, and Luke Walton. These athletes join existing Beyond Meat shareholders JJ Redick, Tony Gonzales, Leonardo DiCaprio, Thomas Middleditch, David Wright, Eric Bledsoe, Maya Moore, Tia Blanco, April Ross and Maggie Vessey, as well as forward-thinking celebrities Snoop Dogg, Common, Jessica Chastain, Liza Koshy and Nicole Williams in championing the brand.

\n

“At Beyond Meat, our goal is to provide consumers with plant-based meats that represent the Future of Protein – delicious, satiating protein and fuel for the body that is unburdened by health concerns increasingly associated with various animal meats,” said Ethan Brown, Founder & CEO of Beyond Meat. He continued, “It’s not surprising to see that world-class athletes who are dialed into their bodies are early adopters of plant-based meat.”

\n

The new roster of brand champions is being unveiled as part of the brand’s new Go Beyond campaign, which spotlights the inner spirit and drive to reach the unattainable – the same spirit that created Beyond Meat and propels its mission to perfectly build meat directly from plants. Kicking off the campaign is a new video, which debuts today featuring All-Star point guard, Kyrie Irving. The video chronicles Irving’s journey to greatness and the ingredients that got him to where he is today.

\n

“After playing the amount of games, doing the amount of recovery stuff, working out as much as I do, it demands a very specific diet. Beyond Meat is the best thing that I could be a part of and it only helps me better perform as an athlete,” said Irving, Beyond investor and ambassador. “I wasn’t always the tallest or most gifted athlete, I had to work on it and in the process of working on my craft, it meant going beyond what everyone else was doing – breaking free of the mold to go beyond what was expected of me. I’m truly elated to be a part of Beyond Meat, a company that’s growing exponentially and doing it in a way that’s connecting people not just to great food, but to an incredible community.”

\n

A part of that community is fellow basketball player, Chris Paul, who has also signed on as a Beyond investor and ambassador. Fueling his moves on and off the court, Paul incorporates Beyond Meat’s plant-based options into his diet as more than just a meal option: “I now have a Beyond Burger after every game to aid with recovery times and inflammation – it’s a game changer, literally.”

\n

As a South Carolina native, DeAndre Hopkins was accustomed to fried, Southern fare and a meat-centric diet. However, after spending the off-seasons training in California, Hopkins changed not only his zip code but his diet, embracing a more plant-forward lifestyle. As a back-to-back All-Pro, Hopkins attributes his league-leading stats to his new eating habits. “It honestly changed my life. It changed my body and my performance. These have been the best seasons I’ve ever had. I would say my performance on the field was a direct result of what I did off the field, how I treated my body and what I put in my body – which was primarily Beyond Meat,” shared DeAndre Hopkins, professional football player and Beyond investor and ambassador.

\n

Beyond Meat will bring these inspiring stories, and others like it, to light in 2019 as part of the larger Go Beyond campaign.

\n

A BURGER WITH BENEFITS

\n

The Beyond Burger is the leading plant-based burger designed to look, cook, and satisfy like beef, but is made entirely from plants without GMOs, soy, or gluten. The Beyond Burger has more protein than beef, with significantly less saturated fat and is less intensive on the environment, requiring 99% less water, 93% less land, nearly 50% less energy and emitting 90% fewer greenhouse gas emissions than a ¼ lb. US beef burger. From being the first plant-based burger to earn a place in the meat case in 2016, to having its Big Game debut in 2019, The Beyond Burger has become a cultural phenomenon that’s synonymous with cutting-edge innovation and delicious meat-like taste and texture. With more than 50 million Beyond Burgers sold to date, the international sensation is currently available in more than 15 countries and served everywhere from Carl’s Jr. and TGI Fridays, to Kroger and Target.

BEYOND MEAT OPENS DOORS OF NEW STATE-OF-THE-ART INNOVATION CENTER IN LOS ANGELES, EXPANDING RESEARCH FOOTPRINT AND FUELING PROGRESS TOWARD A PERFECT BUILD OF MEAT DIRECTLY FROM PLANTS

\n

7x increase in R&D footprint

\n

New pilot line cuts concept to commercialization timelines in half

\n

Includes state-of-the-art sensory lab for real-time consumer testing & feedback

\n

LOS ANGELES--Working to unlock the Future of Protein™, plant-based meat category leader Beyond Meat today opened the doors of their new 26,000 square foot research and development center at the company’s headquarters. The new facility, which houses nearly 100 employees, is the new home to Beyond Meat’s Manhattan Beach Project, which is designed to bring together the world’s best scientists, engineers, food technologists, chefs and managers in service of a single goal: perfectly build meat directly from plants.

\n

Seven-times the size of its existing facility, the Innovation Center supports the company’s Rapid & Relentless Innovation initiative, the goal of which is to continuously iterate the company’s products until they are indistinguishable from their animal protein equivalent.

\n

“The use of science and technology to build meat directly from plants, coupled with a commitment to all natural and non-GMO ingredients, is the core of our company. At Beyond Meat, we strive to understand meat at new levels, and then rebuild it using amino acids, lipids and minerals from plants. What the animal has done throughout history—organize plant material in the form of muscle or meat—we believe we can do more efficiently to the benefit of human health, the environment and animal welfare,” said Ethan Brown, Beyond Meat CEO and Founder. “The path to the perfect build of meat from plants is both long and steep, but with every iteration we are getting closer and closer. I am so pleased to join our special group of scientists, engineers, chefs and managers in announcing the opening of our new state-of-the-art innovation center.”

\n

Fostering Rapid and Relentless Innovation

\n

The new facility is designed to support the company’s highly iterative and rapid style of innovation, one designed to deliver improvements to the marketplace on an annual basis. It is broken into eight distinct labs and footprints, with an emphasis on consumer engagement and learnings. “The new home to the Manhattan Beach Project allows us to reimagine the use of existing technologies for a better understanding of the complexity of meat,” said Dr. Dariush Ajami, VP of Research & Development at Beyond Meat. “The Innovation Center gives us a leg up as we apply this knowledge in our efforts to perfectly build meat directly from plant materials, using only natural ingredients and without genetic modification.”

BEYOND MEAT® BRING BEYOND SAUSAGE TO NATION’S SAUSAGE CAPITAL

\n

The new plant-based sausage hits the menu at Chicago’s The Moonlighter bar and restaurant

\n

CHICAGO, Illinois (April 4, 2018) – Beyond Meat is expanding its nationwide presence as they introduce their newest product innovation, Beyond SausageTM, to Chicago at The Moonlighter, Logan Square’s casual neighborhood bar by Scofflaw Group. After successful launches on the East and West coast, the company is excited to introduce their newest plant-based meat option in the sausage capital of the U.S.

\n

“In keeping with our Eat What You LoveTM brand promise, we are pleased to bring to market our delicious plant-based sausage line, a product innovation that provides consumers with the satiating taste and juiciness of pork sausage, coupled with the health and environmental upside of a plant-based meal,” said Ethan Brown, Founder & CEO of Beyond Meat.

\n

Packed with juiciness and flavor, Beyond Sausage doesn’t sacrifice on taste or texture, and is the first plant- based sausage to deliver against pork sausage. Staying true to Beyond Meat’s promise to create better-for- you protein options, Beyond Sausage has 16g of protein per link, more than that of traditional pork sausage, and 38% less saturated fat.

\n

Available in three flavors: Original Bratwurst, Hot Italian and Sweet Italian, Beyond Sausage is a satisfying option that will meet the heartiest of appetites. Beginning today, The Moonlighter will offer Beyond Sausage alongside other meat-centric options on their menu. Created by Executive Chef Mickey Neely, the three mouthwatering builds include:

\n\n

With this launch, The Moonlighter becomes the first restaurant in Chicago to serve both The Beyond Burger and Beyond Sausage.

\n

\"At The Moonlighter, we aim to go above and beyond the same old fried bar food found at most sports bars and offer a little something for everyone,” said Mickey Neely, Executive Chef at The Moonlighter. “Given how great Beyond Meat products taste and the overwhelming positive feedback we’ve gotten from The Beyond Burger, adding Beyond Sausage was a no brainer. As the sausage capital of the U.S., we’re excited to put our own unique twist on the sausage.\"

\n

The Moonlighter will also offer a special “off-the-menu” option to order the bratwurst served as a classic Chicago Dog ($9) with yellow mustard, relish, raw onion, sport peppers, tomato, cucumber, and a pickle slice.

\n

“Sausage is a time-honored tradition in this city, and we are honored to be a part of that culinary heritage and craft by partnering with The Moonlighter,” added Brown. “We hope their customers, carnivores and vegetarians alike, will seek out and enjoy the benefits of Beyond Sausage.”

\n

Hailed as a miracle of meatiness, Beyond Sausage is the first sausage you actually want to know how it’s made. A blend of pea, fava bean and rice provide the protein, while trace amounts of beet juice lend the meaty red color. Coconut oil ensures mouth-watering juiciness, all wrapped in a 100% plant-based casing derived from algae. A first of its kind, Beyond Sausage has no GMOs, soy or gluten and is currently available on the menu at select restaurants, including:

\n\n

Beyond Sausage joins Beyond Meat’s line-up of other award-winning products, including The Beyond Burger. The world's only burger that looks, cooks, and tastes like ground beef from cows but is made entirely from plants, The Beyond Burger contains no GMOs, soy, or gluten. Since launching last year, The Beyond Burger has been added to the meat aisle at more than 6,000 grocery stores nationwide including at Jewel-Osco, Mariano’s, Whole Foods Market and select Target stores.

BEYOND MEAT® OPENS WORLD-CLASS PLANT-BASED MEAT MANUFACTURING
FACILITY IN CHINA TO ACCELERATE LOCALIZED PRODUCTION AND INNOVATION

Beyond Meat becomes the first multinational company focused solely on plant-based meat
production to open its own production facility in China

Shanghai, China – April 7, 2021 -- Beyond Meat, Inc. (NASDAQ: BYND), a global plant-based
protein company, today announced the grand opening of its new state-of-the-art manufacturing
facility in the Jiaxing Economic & Technological Development Zone (JXEDZ) near Shanghai. As
Beyond Meat’s first end-to-end manufacturing facility outside the U.S., the cutting-edge plant in
Jiaxing is expected to significantly increase the speed and scale in which the company can
produce and distribute its products within the region while also improving Beyond Meat’s cost
structure and sustainability of operations.

Designed to serve China’s growing plant-based meat market, the facility will produce Beyond
Meat’s innovative range of plant-based pork, beef and poultry products, including Beyond Pork™,
the company’s first innovation created specifically for the Chinese market. By producing closer to
the consumer and leveraging local supply chains, Beyond Meat is investing in the growth of the
plant-based meat category in China and the facility underscores the company’s commitment to
China as a region for long-term growth. In addition to scaled production to support the company’s
expanding retail and foodservice business within China, the facility will also feature R&D
capabilities to create unique product offerings and support Beyond Meat’s local strategic partners.

“The opening of our dedicated plant-based meat facility in China marks a significant milestone in
Beyond Meat’s ability to effectively compete in one of the world’s largest meat markets. We are
committed to investing in China as a region for long-term growth, and we believe this new
manufacturing facility will be instrumental in advancing our pricing and sustainability metrics as
we seek to provide Chinese consumers with delicious plant-based proteins that are good for both
people and planet,” said Ethan Brown, CEO and Founder of Beyond Meat.

The announcement comes just one year after the company first entered mainland China through
a nationwide partnership with Starbucks China. Within its first year in the market, Beyond Meat
has expanded menu offerings at Starbucks China and has partnered with well-known foodservice
and retail brands including KFC, Pizza Hut, Jindingxuan, GangLi Beijing, Slow Boat Brewery,
Hema, METRO China and more. The facility is intended to pave the way for Beyond Meat to
efficiently scale-up to meet future needs and demand.

“The plant-based meat market in China continues to expand and Beyond Meat has been
enthusiastically met by local consumers who are looking to live a healthy and sustainable lifestyle.
The opening of the new Jiaxing plant is expected to enable us to quicken the pace of innovation
and roll out our products at the speed and scale needed to remain highly competitive within the
region,” Candy Chan, General Manager for Beyond Meat in China.

Beyond Meat’s strict ingredient guardrails and commitment to making products utilizing simple,
plant-based ingredients without GMOs has enabled the brand to expand product distribution 
throughout China and around the globe with ease and speed. In addition to the opening of the
new manufacturing facility in the JXEDZ region, Beyond Meat will also be opening its first owned
manufacturing facility in Europe this year in an effort to make plant-based meat more accessible
to all.

As we all come together to get through these challenging times, we at Beyond Meat feel a deep responsibility to give back by providing access to good, nourishing meals at no cost. Beginning Monday, April 6, Beyond Meat and our dedicated partners will work to donate and distribute more than 1 million Beyond Burgers as part of our Feed A Million+ pledge.

\n

Our goal has always been to use food as a vehicle for change and we’re fortunate to be in a position to put that into action now like never before. Our hope is that this donation will help make lives easier and contribute to the strong sense of community that is so vitally important during these unprecedented times.

\n

As part of our Feed A Million+ pledge, the Beyond Meat community is rallying together to give back via multiple channels. To reach those most affected and in need, we’ve donated Beyond Meat products to food banks across the country, and are working with partners to prepare and deliver donated Beyond Meat meals to hospitals, community centers and other frontline organizations.

\n

We’re looking inward to our community of employees and fans by having them nominate causes that matter most to them. In turn, Beyond Meat will donate meals to these causes through operational outposts set-up in previously closed restaurants in LA & NY, an effort that also re-creates jobs. In addition, Beyond Meat ambassadors and notable friends are partnering with us to send meals to non-profit organizations coast to coast.

\n

We are so inspired by our community and all they’re doing to give back. We’re all in this together and we hope you are staying safe and taking care of each other. #GoBeyond

YUM CHINA TO INTRODUCE THE REVOLUTIONARY BEYOND BURGER® AT SELECT KFC, PIZZA HUT AND TACO BELL RESTAURANTS

\n

SHANGHAI, June 1, 2020 -- Yum China Holdings, Inc. (the \"Company\" or \"Yum China\") (NYSE: YUMC) today announced that it is partnering with Beyond Meat, Inc. (NASDAQ: BYND), a leader in plant-based meat, to introduce the Beyond Burger® as a limited time offering at select KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell locations in mainland China starting June 3. This partnership marks the introduction of Beyond Meat's Beyond Burger in mainland China.

\n
\n

\"We see great potential for the plant-based meat market in China,\" said Joey Wat, CEO of Yum China. \"This latest introduction across KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell brands is expected to capture valuable consumer feedback across different regions in China. It will enable us to optimize flavors and processes and help assess the potential for larger scale rollouts in the future. This exciting development is the latest iteration of our on-going commitment to introduce new and innovative products to Chinese consumers.\"

\n
\n
\n

\"We are proud to further our partnership with the Yum family of brands by launching Beyond Meat offerings at select KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell locations in mainland China. I'm excited about what this launch means in terms of together being of service to the Chinese consumer as they seek out the nutritional and environmental benefits of our delicious plant-based meats. More generally, our partnership with Yum China and the iconic brands of KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell is an encouraging and important milestone toward increased accessibility to our plant-based meat globally,\" said Ethan Brown, Beyond Meat Founder and CEO.

\n

Launching on June 3, KFC will offer the Beyond Burger as a 3-day limited time offer at five locations in Beijing, Chengdu, Hangzhou and Shanghai. The Beyond Burger will provide Chinese consumers an exciting and delicious plant-based twist on the iconic beef burger patty.

Plant-based meat products have become an increasingly popular concept around the world.  Prior to partnering with Beyond Meat, KFC and Taco Bell had previously conducted tests of plant-based meat products in China. In April 2020, KFC tested plant-based chicken nuggets at select stores in Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen, while in December 2019, Taco Bell tested a plant-based pork taco at select stores in Shanghai. Yum China's in-depth market understanding and consumer insights, accumulated over the past 30 years, offer a strong foundation to establish the concept of plant-based meat in China. KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell are among the first Western restaurant brands to introduce a plant-based meat product in China and with this test they are joining their global counterparts in helping to popularize plant-based meat products.

PLANT-BASED MEAT LEADER, BEYOND MEAT®, ANNOUNCES EXTENSIVE GLOBAL EXPANSION PLANS FOR THIS SUMMER

\n
\n
\n
\n

Following Explosive U.S. Growth, Beyond Meat is Expanding Its Global Presence This Summer, Offering a Revolutionary Solution to the Growing Global Demand for Protein

\n

EL SEGUNDO, Calif.--Beyond Meat® announces another category first: its breakthrough plant-based burgers are heading abroad with plans for expanded distribution and availability across six continents this summer. The mission driven company which aims to positively impact human health, the environment and animal welfare by replacing the protein at the center of the plate with plant-based meat, will work with leading distribution and food service partners globally to roll out The Beyond Burger® worldwide.

\n

The company has found extensive success in the U.S. market, doubling sales in 2017 and increasing distribution of its portfolio to more than 27,000 grocery stores and restaurants. “Reflecting rapid demand growth in the United States and sustained interest from international markets, we’ve taken steps to significantly increase our production capacity,” said Beyond Meat Founder & CEO Ethan Brown. “These additions make it possible for us to support international launches, building upon the successful 2017 introduction of the Beyond Burger in Hong Kong.”

\n

In the coming months, Beyond Meat has partnered with a select group of distributors to enter over 50 countries including Germany and the rest of Europe, Canada, Australia, Mexico, Chile, Israel, UAE, Korea, Taiwan and South Africa.

\n

A Sizzling Sensation

\n

Since launching The Beyond Burger in 2016, Beyond Meat has sold more than 13 million of its protein-packed patties which can be found in nearly 15,000 restaurants and grocery stores across the U.S. The Beyond Burger is the world's only burger that looks, cooks, and tastes like ground beef from cows but is made entirely from plants, without GMOs, soy, or gluten. Crafted with simple plant-based ingredients, applied in fresh ways, The Beyond Burger has more protein than a beef burger, with less saturated and total fat.

\n

Building The Future of Protein

\n

With a clearly defined mission, Beyond Meat’s world-class team of researchers and food scientists work together towards a singular goal: perfectly build a piece of meat from plants. An industry gamechanger, Beyond Meat created a cutting-edge process that organizes each of its plant-based ingredients to deliver against the unique texture of meat. By braiding together proteins, fats and minerals, Beyond Meat is able to re-create the basic architecture, and thus texture, of meat.

\n

Earlier this year, Beyond Meat announced the construction of its new research and innovation facility in Los Angeles. A seven-fold increase of the existing R&D footprint, the new state-of-the-art facility is projected to cut production scale-up timelines in half, enabling the company to bring a new product to market every year.

PIZZA HUT EXPANDS PARTNERSHIP WITH BEYOND MEAT®

\n

● Pizza Hut Delivery will make the Beyond Meat pizzas a permanent menu item with four new delicious meat-free offerings, expanding the chains’ vegetarian offerings
● Beyond Meat pizzas were trialled successfully across stores in 2020. During the trial the Three Meat Beyond Meat pizza was the most popular pizza

Following a successful trial last year, Pizza Hut Delivery is adding Beyond Meat® as a permanent feature on the menu to meet the growing consumer demand for more diverse protein options. The range of three new Beyond Meat toppings, Beyond Italian Style Sausage™, Beyond Beef® Crumbles and Beyond Pork™ Crumbles, are the perfect meat-free option sure to satisfy even the biggest of carnivores; available exclusively at Delivery Huts nationwide now.

Consumer trends and tastes are always changing and with meat-free options trading well throughout lockdowns, Pizza Hut is proud to partner with Beyond Meat to bring increased choice and expanded vegetarian offerings to its menus. Pizza Hut Delivery continues to grow, with recent data showing the double-digit growth the brand saw during lockdowns in 2020 has continued throughout 2021. Beyond Meat pizzas were trialled at select stores in 2020 and resulted in positive feedback with encouraging product performance.

Pizza Hut Delivery has created the new pizzas in partnership with Beyond Meat, a leader in plant-based meat, to deliver the full taste of the Pizza Hut experience. Featuring the same juicy, meat-like texture and savoury satisfaction of Pizza Hut’s meat toppings, without any compromise on taste.

The following pizzas and sides are now available for delivery and collection on a permanent basis:
- Beyond Italian Style Sausage Supreme: meat-free Beyond Italian Style Sausage, mozzarella cheese, mixed peppers, mushrooms and red onions.
- Beyond Three-Meat Three Cheese: meat-Free Beyond Italian Style Sausage, Beyond Pork Crumbles, Beyond Beef Crumbles, mushrooms, triple cheese blend and red onions.
- Beyond Beef Sizzler: meat-free Beyond Beef Crumbles, mozzarella cheese, red onion, jalapeños and green chillies.
- Beyond Italian Style Sausage Tear & Share Topper: mozzarella cheese and garlic folded pizza bread, topped with meat-free Beyond Italian style Sausage, and cut into strips for easy sharing.

This launch is part of a larger, global strategic partnership between Pizza Hut and Beyond Meat and builds upon previous announcements in the US, Canada, Belgium and Puerto Rico. Pizza Hut partnered with Beyond Meat for their leading expertise in plant-based protein and their ability to attract a younger consumer base, including Gen-Z and millennial consumers.

Amelia Riba, Chief Brand Officer at Pizza Hut said, “Last year we were the first pizza chain to bring Beyond Meat toppings to the UK, and we’re delighted to introduce them across the country this year. We are proud to always bring delicious new innovations right to our  customers, and by partnering with Beyond Meat we are offering more flexitarian and meatfree options without sacrificing any flavour. With this delicious new range on our permanent menu from today, we are responding directly to feedback from customers – the UK loves Beyond Meat pizzas!”

Deanna Jurgens, Chief Growth Officer at Beyond Meat said, “We’re thrilled to partner with Pizza Hut to increase accessibility to plant-based meat options and bring delicious Beyond Meat toppings to consumers across the UK. We know meat-eaters and vegetarians alike are increasingly looking for more plant-based options, and we want to enable them to continue to Eat What They Love™, like delicious pizzas, without compromising on taste, a balanced lifestyle or the environment.”

After recently announcing that Alex Honnold had joined our Beyond Ambassador roster, we're expanding the team and thrilled to welcome both Charity and Derrick Morgan to the crew! Derrick Morgan is a current NFL linebacker for the Tennessee Titans and his wife Charity, is an expert plant-based chef. The two of them are leading a revolution down in Nashville, getting more than 20 of Derrick's teammates to incorporate plant-based meat in their weekly meal plan, thanks to Chef Charity's delicious custom catered meals. Her daily deliveries of hearty, protein-packed food inspired Derrick's teammates to give it a try.

\n

After both Derrick and Charity transitioned to a plant-based lifestyle and felt the numerous benefits, they began championing plant-based eating to their friends, family and ultimately, Derrick's teammates. Not only did Derrick experience reduced inflammation and faster recovery times after shifting to a plant-based diet, but he's noticed a huge difference in his performance on the field as well.

\n

Chef Charity's approach to making her food accessible is to stick with the flavors and dishes people know and love but using only plant-based ingredients. According to Charity, \"Players love getting a huge double manly sized Beyond Burger. It opens the doors for many other plant-based meals. They realize it's no compromise from what they usually eat.\"

\n

We're so excited to welcome both of these trailblazers to the Beyond Meat family!

Improving human health is core to our mission at Beyond Meat. To continue advancing these efforts, we’re teaming up with Partnership for a Healthier America (PHA), an organization founded alongside First Lady Michelle Obama’s efforts to transform our nation’s food supply for the better. PHA shares our commitment to using food as a vehicle for change, so together we will work to make nutritious food options more accessible to all. 

\n

To kick off the partnership, on Tuesday, April 28, Beyond Meat CEO Ethan Brown participated in the 10th annual PHA summit. This virtual event brought together some of the most prominent leaders in the food and nutrition space, including opening remarks from First Lady Michelle Obama!

\n

Ethan Brown delivered a keynote address on the future of food and Beyond Meat’s commitment to using food as a vehicle for change. Here at Beyond Meat, we’re on a mission to perfectly build meat from plants, and are committed to providing healthier food options to all.

\n

Following Ethan’s keynote, he was joined by Beyond Meat ambassador/investor and NBA All-Star Chris Paul for a ‘laptop-side’ chat to talk all things plant-based with PHA CEO Nancy Roman. Interested in learning more? Read on for some of the Q&A. #GoBeyond

\n

 

\n


Laptop-side chat with Beyond Meat & Chris Paul
**note: responses have been edited for brevity & clarity

\n

 

\n

PHA: Ethan, there’s been a big rush to plant-based meat. Some see it as a climate play while others see it as a health play. Talk to me about how you think of it.

\n

Ethan Brown: I’ve never seen anything in my career where by focusing on one thing — protein in the center of the plate — it could simultaneously affect four things that are really important in the world: human health, climate, natural resources and animal welfare. I think consumers are first moved to try the product around health considerations, but then as they begin to understand that there are other implications to their food choices, they become more and more interested.

\n

 

\n

PHA: Talk to us a little about how you create a Beyond Burger. What really happens when a pea goes from a vegetable to a plant-based meat? What do you say to people who worry about ultra-processing?

\n

EB: It’s really around a tale of two processes. In our process, we take the protein directly from the plant and run it through a system of heating, cooling and pressure to give us the fibrous structure of muscle, or meat. You can also create that muscle structure by having the animal consume all of that protein and use their digestive tract and skeletal muscular system to produce a piece of muscle. However, there are things in that muscle (heme iron, inflammatory stimulants, etc.) that you don’t necessarily want to put in your body in great quantities. The benefit of our process is we can leave all of those things out and we can create a product that’s geared toward the health of your body. That’s what we do at Beyond Meat.

\n

 

\n

PHA: Chris, so many people are fascinated by a big, strong superstar eating a plant-based diet. How did that all start?

\n

Chris Paul: It was really tough. Being from the South I grew up eating everything. You’re somewhat a product of your environment – you know what you know because of what your parents show you or teach you. For me, I started eating a plant-based diet back in June. As an athlete you’re always trying to get better, and I’m chasing around 18 and 19 year olds on the court. As anyone does in their field to try to get better, I saw some other athletes trying a plant-based diet and thought I should give it a try. I had already started eating Beyond Meat after games and I just felt lighter. I went completely cold-turkey (or should I say cold-tofu) and the first week I saw how my body transformed. To tell you a quick story – usually when I’m training I wake up with a lot of muscle soreness. But I got up in the middle of the night and I wasn’t aching, I was feeling good. The next thing you know, I was able to go the entire summer without putting ice on my knees — and that was just because I stopped having so much inflammation in my body due to the plant-based diet.

\n

 

\n

PHA: With so many people stuck at home, do you have any tips for those of us working on a jump shot or just want to stay in shape?

\n

CP: I have kids, so in between their schooling I may make them go outside and run a lap. And then when school is over, we try to exercise together. Because everyone’s at home now and wondering what they can do, we’re trying to stay as active as possible and also exercise our brains.

\n

 

\n

PHA: Food is a tool for health, and not everyone has access to the same good food. As your company develops, how are you approaching accessibility?

\n

EB: When you think about economic distribution, we have to get the price of our products below animal protein. That’s something that you will see us do, we’ll get there. The reason we’re not there yet is scale, and as we achieve scale and the supply chain matures, you’ll see us be able to get very aggressive with our pricing.

\n

 

\n

PHA: We’re constantly learning more about food systems and nutrition. How are you thinking about innovation and looking ahead?

\n

EB: We are an innovation engine at the core. We’ve designed our program to move very, very quickly. If there are folks out there taking our products off the shelf and trying to reverse engineer them, that’s okay because they’re chasing a ghost in that regard. We’ve already moved on and are working on the next generation of our product. We’re on a mission to try to provide consumers with protein that is indistinguishable from animal protein and innovation is a key part of that.

\n

 

\n

PHA: Tell me a little bit about what you see in the future for Beyond Meat.

\n

EB: We’re going to continue to focus on our three core categories of beef, pork and poultry. Our main goal is to stay focused on how we can create that perfect piece of plant-based protein. If you can create a product with a sensory experience that’s exactly the same, nutrition exceeds that of animal protein, and it’s cheaper, very few consumers will say they still don’t want it. If we can do that, we will be able to reshape the meat industry.

TGI FRIDAYS® REINVENTS MENU WITH BEYOND MEAT®

\n
\n
\n

Restaurant finds innovative ways to use the popular plant-based meat in new menu items

\n
\n
\n
\n
DALLAS, Oct. 1, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- TGI Fridays® is partnering with Beyond Meat®, a leader in plant-based meat, to build on its offerings and introduce new menu items featuring Beyond Beef®. Known for its amazing drinks, ribs and iconic potato skins, TGI Fridays is also leading the way for plant-based meat options, using Beyond Beef to create a proprietary chili recipe exclusive to its restaurant.
\n
\n
\n

Fridays was one of the first casual dining restaurants to offer the Beyond Burger® and is once again expanding the menu to introduce new dishes. Developed by TGI Fridays corporate chef, Beyond Chili™ is a warm, flavor-packed chili featuring Beyond Meat's plant-based ground meat, Beyond Beef. The plant-based meat options at Fridays don't end there — in addition to Beyond Chili, guests can now order Beyond Chili Loaded Potato Skins, Beyond Chili Ballpark Nachos, and a Beyond Chili Cheeseburger — as well as the Beyond Meat Cheeseburger that's been a favorite on the menu since 2018.

\n
\n
\n

Fridays sees the plant-based trend growing and believes the taste, health benefits and versatility of plant-based meat signifies its exponential potential. The brand has found the following data:

\n
    \n
  • The presence of \"'plant-based\" on U.S. menus has increased by more than 3,000% over the past four years. Furthermore, Datassential expects it to jump another 70% over the next four years. (Source: Datassential Menu Trends)
    • \n
  • More than eight in 10 U.S. consumers are \"aware\" of \"plant-based\" and more than half (54%) of consumers have tried it. (Source: Datassential FLAVOR)
    • \n
  • 74% of consumers are trying to eat less meat since the onset of COVID-19, and 61% of consumers are open to restaurants featuring more plant-based products. (Source: Datassential Coronavirus Report 18)
    • \n
  • Plant-based protein is more than a trend, it's here to stay. 83% of consumers believe that diets higher in plant-based protein are a \"fundamental change that will last for a long time or forever.\" (Source: Mattson Survey 2020)
    • \n
  • About 64% of all Americans \"like\" or \"love\" potato skins with 28% saying \"love.\" (Source: Datassential FLAVOR)
    • \n
\n

\"We're about making everyone feel welcome here and that means having more than one or two plant-based meat options on our menu for people, whether they're plant-based eaters or meat eaters,\" said Sara Bittorf, TGI Fridays Chief Experience Officer. \"Plus, Beyond Beef tastes amazing, so this is something you're definitely going to want to try. With five menu items featuring Beyond Meat, there's something for everyone.\"

\n

Beyond Beef is made from simple plant-based ingredients without GMOs or synthetic colors and flavors, and is designed to replicate the taste and texture of ground beef while being better for people and the planet.

\n

Although demand is increasing, some restaurants might only provide one or two plant-based alternatives for its guests. As TGI Fridays continues to innovate for its guests, the international restaurant chain expects other restaurants to follow. Even its Loaded Potato Skin, who is running for President, approves. \"I love it. Potatoes loaded up with Beyond Chili? I'm in,\" he says.

\n

In 1965, TGI Fridays opened its first location in New York City. More than 50 years later, Fridays comprises more than 850 restaurants in 55 countries offering high-quality, authentic American food and legendary drinks backed by genuine service. Bringing people together to socialize and celebrate the spirit of \"Friday\" is core to our promise that \"In Here, It's Always Friday®.\" Visit www.Fridays.com for more information and download our mobile app. Join Fridays Rewards® and follow us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

BEYOND MEAT TRIPLES PRODUCTION FOOTPRINT: INCREASED CAPACITY FOR GROWING DEMAND

\n
\n
\n

Beyond Meat is opening a second production facility in Columbia, Missouri to serve sustained and rapidly climbing demand

\n

LOS ANGELES--Demand for Beyond Meat’s innovative plant-based products continues to skyrocket. To serve this rapidly increasing demand, Beyond Meat has more than tripled its manufacturing footprint from 30,000 to 100,000 sq. ft. This expanded capacity will help support Beyond Meat’s popular line of plant-based fresh meat products that include The Beyond Burger and Beyond Sausage, as well as provide for increased growth across new product launches moving forward.

\n

Located in Columbia, Missouri, the new facility will generate more than 250 new jobs in 2018. Like the products it produces, the state-of-the-art facility has an eye towards sustainability, from high efficiency lighting to new water recirculation systems that reduce consumption by nearly 80 percent.

\n

“We first came to Missouri in 2009 to access the outstanding research being conducted at the University of Missouri. We have been investing in, and growing together with, Columbia, MO ever since, and I’m pleased to announce this latest manufacturing investment, our largest to date. Our expansion not only brings more jobs and opportunity to this special community but also furthers Missouri’s position as a leader in the production of plant-based meat,” said Ethan Brown, CEO and Founder of Beyond Meat.

\n

An active member of the Columbia Chamber of Commerce, the brand’s investment in the local community with the building of the new plant serves as a reminder to the brand’s deep roots in the area. When Brown was first exploring the notion that the protein at the center of the plate didn’t need to be made using an animal, he tapped into research that was taking place at the University of Missouri. This research eventually provided one of the technical foundations for Beyond Meat’s visionary approach to building meat from plants.

\n

“This expansion in our production capacity will help us to meet the considerable increase in market demand we have seen for our new and innovative product offerings,” said Mark Nelson, COO & CFO at Beyond Meat. He added, “Our expanded 100,000 square foot manufacturing footprint will provide the scale we need to service our rapidly growing retail, foodservice and international customer base.”

\n

Beyond Meat’s existing Missouri facility houses more than 200 employees, representing more than 12 nations amongst its staff members. Beyond Meat is a proud equal opportunity employer.

\n

A Sizzling Sensation: The Beyond Burger

\n

This summer marks several important milestones for the brand, including The Beyond Burger’s availability at more than 10,000 restaurants, bringing Beyond Meat’s total distribution footprint to more than 30,000 restaurants and retailers. The Beyond Burger is the world’s first and only plant-based burger that looks, cooks and tastes like beef, but is made entirely from plants without GMOs, soy or gluten. For the latest list of restaurants and stores carrying The Beyond Burger, visit the Where to Find tab on the Beyond Meat website.

As part of our mission to increase accessibility to delicious, nutritious and sustainable plant-based meat options around the globe, Beyond Meat is proud to announce its latest product innovation, Beyond Pork! 

\n

Pork is the most popular meat in China and the country ranks among the highest pork consumption rates in the world, making it the ideal location for the unveiling of Beyond Pork, our first product designed specifically for the Chinese market.

\n

Beyond Pork is a plant-based ground pork designed to deliver the sumptuous taste, juicy texture and culinary versatility of traditional ground pork, but with roughly 50% less saturated and total fat than traditional 70/30 ground pork. Made from simple plant-based ingredients, Beyond Pork is a rich source of protein with 18.5g per 100g serving, and is made without GMOs, antibiotics or hormones. Ground pork is a staple in Chinese cuisine, and Beyond Pork offers a seamless swap in favorite dishes such as dumplings, mapo tofu, zhajiang noodles and lion’s head meatballs.

\n

 

\n

\"\"

\n

 

\n

The development of Beyond Pork was a global collaboration between Beyond Meat teams in Los Angeles and Shanghai to create an irresistible plant-based pork option.The result? Beyond Pork was a fan favorite in local consumer testing for its ability to mirror the mouthwatering umami flavor, texture and aroma of animal-based minced pork, while offering the added health and environmental benefits of plant-based meat.

\n

To celebrate the launch of Beyond Pork, we’re partnering with five popular restaurants in Shanghai, one of the food capitals of China, to offer a special Beyond Pork menu item at each until November 24. Chefs from Egg, Momenti, RAC, Solo X and Tun Wang have created delicious dishes including Beyond Pork Spicy Bolognese and Beyond Pork and Shiitake Wonton Noodles. 

\n

“I was very impressed the first time I tried Beyond Pork; I even thought the chef must have actually used traditional animal pork mince by mistake. I think our fans are going to be very impressed when they try it — I bet they won’t even be able to tell the difference either,” said Simon Briens, Co-Founder of RAC restaurant.

\n

The famous Colonel Sanders is back at it again, this time teaming up with Beyond Meat to bring finger lickin’ good plant-based chicken to KFC restaurants in two new test markets: Nashville and Charlotte. The 3-week test comes after the overwhelmingly successful one-day test launch in Atlanta back in August, where customers lined up for hours before the restaurant opened, cars were double-wrapped around the drive-thru and down the block, and Beyond Fried Chicken sold out in under 5 hours! That’s more Beyond Fried Chicken sold than KFC typically sells of Popcorn Chicken in a WEEK – talk about the power of plant-based. 

\n

Beyond Fried Chicken is our newest innovation that looks and tastes more like KFC’s world-famous chicken than ever before yet has the benefits of plant-based meat. Customers can enjoy Beyond Fried Chicken with a side of their favorite dipping sauces like KFC’s signature Finger Lickin’ Good Sauce, or tossed in one of three tasty options: Honey BBQ, Buffalo or Nashville Hot. Options range from four to 12 pieces a la carte or as cameos. 

\n
\n

 

\n

 

\n

“The iconic flavor of Kentucky Fried Chicken is one that has never been replicated, despite many imitations, until now,” said Andrea Zahumensky, chief marketing officer, KFC U.S. “We’ve really pushed the limits to develop plant-based chicken that I think will have KFC and plant-based protein fans saying, ‘That’s finger lickin’ good.’”

\n

“The response in Atlanta continues to underscore the growing consumer demand for high-quality, delicious plant-based meats. Together with KFC’s team, we have created a plant-based chicken that looks, tastes and pulls apart like a chicken breast. I am very proud of what our R&D teams have accomplished and look forward to continuing to lead the charge on plant-based chicken,” said Ethan Brown, Beyond Meat Founder & CEO.

\n

Beyond Fried Chicken will be available until February 23, or until supplies last.

As part of our commitment to creating lasting, systemic change for Black communities, we are partnering with the newly formed non-profit Social Change Fund.

\n

Social Change Fund is a newly formed non-profit, created by Chris Paul, Dwayne Wade, Carmelo Anthony and a group of Black industry executives, which aims to create lasting, systemic change for Black communities across America and fight for justice on all fronts. In partnership with influential organizations, the Social Change Fund is working to accelerate social change and sustainable build a fair, equitable society.

“I’ve been a longtime supporter of Beyond Meat and am excited to welcome them as a founding partner into the Social Change Fund. Like the Social Change Fund, I know that Beyond Meat is committed to progress for our communities. I look forward to all the good that we can continue to do together,” said Chris Paul, Beyond Meat investor and ambassador.

\n

This partnership furthers our commitment to fighting disparities in the Black community through initiatives tied to social justice, education and health equality. We believe food is a powerful vehicle for change. In April we launched the Feed a Million+ pledge, which aimed to provide more than one million Beyond Burgers at no cost to frontline healthcare workers and communities in need. Through our strong community of employees, ambassadors and fans like Chris Paul, Kevin Hart, Ashanti, Karlie Kloss, Lindsey Vonn and P.K. Subban, we fulfilled a growing need and provided more than five million nourishing Beyond Meat meals.

\n

“We are honored to join in partnership with Chris Paul, Dwyane Wade, and Carmelo Anthony in support of the Social Change Fund. Beyond Meat is dedicated to serving broader social goals, using what’s on the center of the plate as a critical starting point,” said Ethan Brown, Founder and CEO, Beyond Meat. “And we are excited to support and work with the Social Change Fund initiative to address racial inequalities in nutrition access and health outcomes in America.”

\n

We look forward to seeing this partnership grow and making a lasting impact, creating a better future for the next generation. #GoBeyond

More than anyone, athletes intuitively understand the connection between what they put in their body and how it performs. That’s why we are BEYOND excited to announce that some of the biggest names in sports have decided to invest in, and champion, Beyond Meat, after discovering the power of plant-based eating.

\n

The new roster is being unveiled as part of our new Go Beyond campaign and includes Kyrie Irving, Shaquille O’Neal, Chris Paul, DeAndre Hopkins, Victor Oladipo, Lindsey Vonn, DeAndre Jordan, JaVale McGee, Harrison Barnes, Malcolm Jenkins, Derrick & Charity Morgan, Alex Honnold, Shaun White, and Luke Walton. These athletes join existing Beyond Meat shareholders JJ Redick, Tony Gonzales, Leonardo DiCaprio, Thomas Middleditch, David Wright, Eric Bledsoe, Maya Moore, and Tia Blanco, as well as forward-thinking celebrities Snoop Dogg, Common, Jessica Chastain, and Liza Koshy.

\n

All-Star point guard and Beyond ambassador/investor, Kyrie Irving, is kicking off our new Go Beyond campaign with a video that chronicles his journey to greatness and the ingredients that got him to where he is today.

\n

\n

“After playing the amount of games, doing the amount of recovery stuff, working out as much as I do, it demands a very specific diet. Beyond Meat is the best thing that I could be a part of and it only helps me better perform as an athlete,” said Irving, Beyond investor and ambassador. “I wasn’t always the tallest or most gifted athlete, I had to work on it and in the process of working on my craft, it meant going beyond what everyone else was doing—breaking free of the mold to go beyond what was expected of me. I’m truly elated to be a part of Beyond Meat, a company that’s growing exponentially and doing it in a way that’s connecting people not just to great food, but to an incredible community.”

\n

A part of that community is fellow basketball player, Chris Paul who has also signed on as a Beyond investor and ambassador. Fueling his moves on and off the court, Paul incorporates Beyond Meat into his diet as more than just a meal option: “I now have a Beyond Burger after every game to aid with recovery times and inflammation–it’s a game changer, literally.”

\n

As a South Carolina native, DeAndre Hopkins was accustomed to fried, Southern fare and a meat-centric diet. However, after spending off-seasons training in California, Hopkins changed not only his zip code but also his diet, embracing a more plant-forward lifestyle. As a back-to-back All-Pro, Hopkins attributes his league-leading stats to his new eating habits. “It honestly changed my life. It changed my body and my performance. These have been the best seasons I’ve ever had. I would say my performance on the field was a direct result of what I did off the field, how I treated my body and what I put in my body – which was primarily Beyond Meat,” shared DeAndre Hopkins, professional football player and Beyond investor and ambassador.

A New York Times article came out last week about Impossible Foods. The piece raises questions about heme, the GMO-derived ingredient in their Impossible Burger.

\n

We’ve received a number of questions from our Beyond Meat consumers about heme,which, we do not use. These inquiries reinforced our understanding that folks often confuse us with Impossible Foods. We get it–there are some similarities. Our founder is named Ethan Brown. Impossible’s founder is named Pat Brown (no relation). Also, Bill Gates is an investor in both companies. And we both make plant-based burgers that the media has dubbed as “bleeding veggie burgers.”

\n

There are some important aspects of Beyond Meat’s approach to innovation that we want to underscore:

\n

— Beyond Meat does not use GMO ingredients. We believe it is entirely possible to recreate meat directly from plants without GMOs, and we would offer The Beyond Burger as evidence that we’re onto something.

\n

— Beyond Meat has never tested our products or ingredients on animals. Our scientists are focused on identifying existing plant-based ingredients that emulate the properties of meat. For example, to achieve the beefy red color of our Beyond Burger, they tested hundreds of vegetables and fruit extracts, before settling on a combination of beet powder and annatto.

\n

— The Beyond Burger is soy free and gluten free.

\n

Okay, glad we got that cleared up. While we have your attention, please be sure to visit our website for the latest list of forward-thinking retailers shelving The Beyond Burger in their meat case. We’re up to about 2,000 stores nationwide!

Engineering Global Change

\n

This fall, Beyond Meat was recognized for our trailblazing global sustainability efforts by the United Nations who honored us as a 2018 Champion of the Earth. This is the UN’s highest accolade for the environment.

\n

Since its launch, this yearly award has recognized 84 individuals, ranging from world leaders to environmental defenders to technology inventors. What makes each of the trailblazers stand out is that they have in their own way made a difference to protect our planet for the next generation. According to the UN, Beyond Meat was honored “for their innovative development of a popular alternative to beef but without the terribly damaging environmental and climate impacts.”

\n

Our CEO & Founder, Ethan Brown, discussed how Beyond Meat is eliminating animal agriculture’s biggest bottleneck, the animal. Check out his full speech at UN’s ceremony below.

\n

A BIG thanks to the UN for helping to raise awareness for global efforts that are leading the charge in building a more sustainable future.

Beyond Meat today announced a global strategic partnership with Yum! Brands to co-create and offer craveable and innovative plant-based protein menu items that can only be found at KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell over the next several years. Beyond Meat and Yum! Brands expect to leverage their industry-leading research and development capabilities to meet the evolving tastes of the consumers of today and tomorrow.

\n

“We are honored to enter into a global strategic partnership with Yum! Brands, one of the world’s largest restaurant companies. We look forward to expanding our work with the teams at Yum’s iconic KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell brands to together bring truly delicious plant-based product innovation to consumers,” said Ethan Brown, Beyond Meat Founder & CEO.

\n

Through this collaboration, Yum! Brands will build on its tradition of food innovation and creating new consumer markets for industry-defining items and increase the number of plant-based options that appeal to flexitarians, those looking to incorporate plant-based meat or more diverse protein options into their diets. The partnership will also allow Beyond Meat to reach more consumers worldwide, furthering its commitment towards making plant-based meat more accessible to everyone, everywhere.

\n

“Today’s announcement builds on our strong relationship with Beyond Meat and given the consumer response during recent tests with Beyond Meat, we’re excited about the long-term potential plant-based protein menu items have to attract more customers to our brands, especially younger consumers,” said Chris Turner, Yum! Brands CFO. “We expect this Beyond Meat partnership to strengthen our brands’ capability to offer delicious, plant-based menu items that are driven by consumer demand for more diverse protein options and our brands’ strategies in local markets.”

\n

Beyond Meat’s strategic partnership with Yum! Brands’ will be an expansion of the companies’ growing track record of collaborations to offer delicious and sustainable plant-based products. KFC was the first national U.S. quick-service restaurant to introduce plant-based chicken when it tested Beyond Fried Chicken™ at an Atlanta-area restaurant in 2019. Since the initial rollout, KFC has expanded testing Beyond Fried Chicken in other U.S. cities. In 2020, Pizza Hut U.S. launched the Beyond Italian Sausage Pizza and the Great Beyond Pizza nationwide, becoming the first national pizza chain to introduce a plant-based meat pizza coast-to-coast.

Southern California, It’s officially your turn to taste Beyond Fried Chicken! On Monday, July 20, Beyond Meat and KFC are bringing our plant-based chicken collaboration to 50+ select KFC restaurants for a sneak peek in the Los Angeles, Orange County and San Diego areas, while supplies last.  

\n

Beyond Fried Chicken is KFC’s plant-based protein that boasts the flavors of its world-famous fried chicken and texture that looks and pulls apart like a chicken breast.

\n

To refresh your memory, Beyond Fried Chicken sold out in just five hours at the August 2019 one-day debut in Atlanta! After making the product even more delicious, KFC launched an expanded test of Beyond Fried Chicken in February in the Nashville and Charlotte markets to an overwhelmingly positive response! 

\n

“I’ve said it before: despite many imitations, the flavor of Kentucky Fried Chicken is one that has never been replicated, until Beyond Fried Chicken,” said Andrea Zahumensky, chief marketing officer, KFC U.S. “We know the east coast loved it, so we thought we’d give those on the west coast a chance to tell us what they think in an exclusive sneak peek.” 

\n

With Southern California being home to Beyond Meat’s headquarters and all the excitement in the area for increased plant-based options, SoCal is a perfect fit for an exclusive sneak peek of Beyond Fried Chicken. 

\n

“We are thrilled to continue our partnership with KFC and bring Beyond Fried Chicken to Southern California,” said Ethan Brown, Beyond Meat Founder & CEO. “KFC is a true category leader and we are proud to be their partner of choice as they make delicious plant-based chicken more accessible to consumers.”

\n

Beyond Fried Chicken will come with a choice of dipping sauce and will be available as a six or 12-piece à la carte or as part of a combo, complete with a side and medium drink.

Today we are debuting our latest breakthrough in plant-based food innovation: Beyond Beef®.

Driven by consumer demand, this breakthrough product has all of the meaty taste, juicy texture, and versatility consumers expect with ground beef, but with the added benefits of plant-based meat:

\n\n

Beyond Beef works in nearly any recipe–from tacos and dumplings to bolognese and sliders, this mouthwatering ingredient is a MUST in any kitchen.

\n

Looking to take a bite out of the multi-trillion-dollar meat industry, Beyond Beef aims to replicate ground beef, the largest segment in the beef category.  Nearly two-thirds of Americans are trying to reduce their meat intake, signaling the meat industry is ripe for innovation.

\n

To bring Beyond Beef to life, our innovation team used a unique combination of pea, mung bean and rice proteins that provides a meatier texture that mimics the chew and juiciness of ground beef. By unlocking a process that recreates the basic structure, and thus texture, of meat using only plant-based ingredients, we’re able to ensure that every bite of Beyond Beef is a delicious and meaty mouthful. Even better, this complete protein source is free of gluten, soy and GMOs, making it a kitchen staple.

We are beyond excited to share the news that McDonald’s is continuing the test of a new plant-based burger called the P.L.T., which stands for Plant. Lettuce. Tomato.

Featuring a plant-based patty with no artificial colours, artificial flavors or artificial preservatives, it’s a great-tasting “open wide and sink your teeth into it” sandwich.

The innovation facility is where the world’s BEST scientists, engineers, food technologists, chefs and managers have come together to achieve a single goal: build meat directly from plants.

“The use of science and technology to build meat directly from plants, coupled with a commitment to all natural and non-GMO ingredients, is the core of our company. At Beyond Meat, we strive to understand meat at new levels, and then rebuild it using amino acids, lipids and minerals from plants. What the animal has done throughout history—organize plant material in the form of muscle or meat—we believe we can do more efficiently to the benefit of human health, environment and animal welfare,” – Ethan Brown, Beyond Meat CEO and founder.

The Beyond & The Beast: A Tale of Two Burgers

\n

So we’ve been getting some questions about our new Beyond Burger and existing Beast Burger…

\n\n

First, the differences

\n

The Beyond Burger is our new “raw-beef” style burger that looks, cooks, and tastes so much like beef it’s being shelved in the meat sections at Whole Foods. Our goal in creating The Beyond Burger™ was to provide the full 360° mouth-watering, juicy, and delicious experience of beef but without so many of the health, environmental, and animal welfare downsides of traditional animal-based meat.

\n

The Beast Burger, developed as a performance-line offering from Beyond Meat, was launched in early 2015, and is a pre-cooked frozen patty shelved in the plant-based protein section of the frozen aisle in conventional and natural grocery stores. Some jokingly have called it a nutrition shake on a bun, but that’s not far off. We worked with Brendan Brazier, rock-star triathlete, plant-based nutrition authority, and co-founder of Vega nutrition shakes to develop The Beast. The Beast has 23G of protein and a slew of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and omegas.

\n

The Beyond Burger is shelved in the meat set, right alongside meat, where it’s turning heads and leveling the playing field for plant-based protein as an option for everyday consumers who love meat but, increasingly, want to avoid some of the bad stuff that comes with it. While we ramp up production and try to keep up with sell-out demand, The Beyond Burger is in limited distribution at Whole Foods. We’re up to about 200 of 450 stores. Check here for the latest store list. We plan to significantly expand distribution in the spring and summer of 2017, so stay tuned and thanks for your patience.

\n

The Beast is available in around 5,000 retailers nationwide, and isn’t going anywhere as it remains very popular. Click here for availability. It will continue to be shelved in the frozen aisle with other pre-cooked plant-based offerings like our Beyond Chicken Strips & Beyond Beef Crumbles.

\n

So there it is–two burgers for two times in your life. If you’re sitting down to binge watch a few episodes of Westworld or Game of Thrones and craving a juicy, delicious, real-deal burger, The Beyond Burger has your name on it. If you’re gearing up for or recovering from a double header of Vinyasa flow and a long hike in the hills, reach for The Beast.

\n

Enjoy,

\n

With the start of a new, unprecedented school year, we’re taking this moment to act and empower students across the country by launching a science-based, digital course on sustainability. Available in October, it will be offered at no cost to students, teachers and parents across the country.  

\n

To develop the course, we worked with EVERFI, a leading digital education innovator to ensure it not only met common core curriculum criteria, but also resonated with the education community. As part of the process, EVERFI surveyed a group of teachers and nearly all (98%) were very or extremely interested in a course on environment and sustainability, specifically with a focus on individual responsibility, 21st century skills and social impacts.

\n

Designed for fifth through eighth graders, this course shows students how their choices, big or small, can make a big impact on themselves, their community, and the planet. It’s grounded in real-world experiences and covers topics on global resource constraints, the importance of biodiversity, climate change and how to innovate for a healthy life.

\n

We believe there’s a better way to feed our future and know how important it is to equip the next generation with information needed to build that future. We want to give students equal access to be able to make informed decisions about future-defining topics like sustainability. Additionally, as the back-to-school season looks different this year and schools are pivoting to online or hybrid learning models, now more than ever we want to make sure educators and families have the accessible, engaging remote learning tools.

\n

EVERFI is an organization that’s close to our hearts as its founder, Tom Davidson, and Beyond Meat Founder & CEO Ethan Brown were childhood friends; both set out to build mission-driven companies and now we’ve come full circle as we team up to inspire the next generation of students. 

\n

“Health and sustainability are core to our mission at Beyond Meat, so we’re thrilled to partner with EVERFI to bring this digital course to students across the U.S.,” said Ethan Brown, Beyond Meat Founder & CEO. “We see food as a vehicle for change; this course being an important part of that commitment, helping students to learn more about the role of diet in health and sustainability.”

\n

“Helping children understand the importance of sustainability is critically important,” said Tom Davidson, Founder and CEO, EVERFI. “Beyond Meat is both a leader and innovator so it makes perfect sense that they would make a similar commitment to children by helping them understand the key factors related to sustainability. With this education, children will gain more clarity around the impact of their choices and may be inspired to make changes to some of their daily routines.”

\n

The course launches in October and will be available for at-home access through the 2020-2021 school year.

BEYOND MEAT® UNVEILS PLANS FOR NEW STATE-OF-THE-ART GLOBAL HEADQUARTERS AIMED AT FUELING ACCELERATED INNOVATION

\n

The expansive campus will continue to set the pace for disruptive and game-changing products to further lead the plant-based meat category

\n

EL SEGUNDO, Calif., January 15, 2021 – Beyond Meat, Inc. (NASDAQ: BYND) today announced its plans to enter a 12-year lease in a new, nearly 300,000 square foot space at 888 N. Douglas Street in El Segundo, California. The building is currently under development by Hackman Capital Partners with anticipated completion in spring 2021. The site will serve as the company’s new state-of-the-art global headquarters, making it one of the world’s largest and most technologically advanced plant-based research centers. The cutting-edge campus is slated to open in fall of this year and is a substantial increase in the company’s footprint that will support best-in-class innovation, advanced research labs and the incubation of big ideas that further disrupt and define the plant-based market of the future.

\n

“Our ambitious new campus and truly state-of-the-art research facilities reflect our commitment to providing our consumers, customers, and strategic partners with the very best in science, technology, and culinary arts as we together answer the global protein challenge,” said Ethan Brown, Founder and CEO, Beyond Meat. “The new campus and facilities will house cutting-edge fundamental and applied research, alongside globalized product development teams, all in service to a single goal: creating meat from plants that is indistinguishable from its animal protein equivalent. It is on this campus that we expect to advance ever more rapidly against our taste, nutrition, and cost metrics, inviting and empowering more and more consumers around the world to Go Beyond.”

\n

The construction of the new Beyond Meat® Global Headquarters will take place in three phases and will include increased pilot space to support multiple product lines while enabling space for 3-4x growth of research personnel over current levels. Additionally, the campus will feature future-forward research incubators that will enable the development of new technologies and more innovative products utilizing artificial intelligence and machine learning.

\n

Conveniently located a few minutes from LAX and walking distance from the METRO C (Green) Line, the addition of the expansive campus will further enable the company to attract the world’s best talent with a focus on holistic wellness including a fitness center, cafeteria, ample outdoor spaces, and interior living walls to promote healthy air quality. The space will be designed to be LEED and Fitwel Certified to align with Beyond Meat’s mission and commitment to sustainability and workplace wellbeing.

\n

Beyond Meat was represented by JLL in the deal, with project management being led by DPPM Project Management, and architecture and design work being led by Gensler. Hackman Capital Partners was represented by CBRE and Newmark Knight Grubb Frank.

Tryptophan is one of the essential amino acids that our bodies need. It is important for numerous functions in the body, particularly alleviating depression and anxiety. This is because the body converts tryptophan into serotonin in the body.

\n

Contrary to what most think, it isn’t the tryptophan in turkey which makes us feel tired after Thanksgiving dinner. Yes, tryptophan does help induce sleep – but it is more likely that massive calorie overload is what causes sleepiness after Thanksgiving dinner. We actually eat lots of foods with more tryptophan than turkey on a daily basis, but don’t stay that these make us feel tired!

\n

There is absolutely no reason you have to eat turkey – or any meat – to get enough tryptophan in your diet. A 100 gram serving of turkey breast has about 194mg of tryptophan but all of the following plant foods are loaded with even more tryptophan! (Source)

\n

Spirulina

\n

Spirulina is considered one of the best superfoods, and for good reason.It is loaded with iron, B vitamins, magnesium, and healthy Omega 3 fats.It also has about 929mg of tryptophan per 100 gram serving.So, while it technically isn’t a plant (it is an algae), we’ve included it on this list because it contains almost 5x the amount of tryptophan as turkey!

\n

Chia Seeds

\n

Another superfood, chia seeds are a great source of tryptophan. A 100 gram serving provides 738 mg of tryptophan, plus calcium, zinc, and Omega 3. You can use chia seed in a tasty pudding or put them into a superfood smoothie.

\n

Pepitas

\n

Pepitas are the raw seeds from pumpkins or squash. They are small, green colored, and crunchy. You can put them on your salads to spruce them up a bit, or just snack on the seeds in trail mix. You will be glad you did since pepitas have more than twice the amount of tryptophan as turkey.

\n

Wheat Germ

\n

Grains have three parts: the endosperm, the bran, and the germ.White flour is made from just the endosperm, which is where the carbohydrates and proteins are located.By contrast, whole-grain flours contain the bran and the germ, which are loaded with fiber, vitamins, and minerals.Just in case you need another reason to choose whole grain products, consider that wheat germ is loaded with tryptophan – 398mg per 100 grams.

\n

Nuts

\n

Nuts are a great source of protein, including the amino acid tryptophan. The nuts with the most tryptophan are cashews, pistachios, and almonds.Include these in your Thanksgiving stuffing and you’ll have as much — or more — tryptophan than if you’d eaten turkey.

Pizza Hut Expands Partnership with Beyond Meat® to Test New Plant-Based Beyond Pepperoni™ Pizza Topping

\n

The plant-based twist on the classic pizza topping is available at Pizza Hut restaurants for the first time starting Aug. 10 in select U.S. markets

\n

PLANO, Texas, August 10, 2021 – Pizza Hut and Beyond Meat® have reunited, and it tastes so good. The two innovation leaders are entering another milestone in their partnership with the debut of Beyond Pepperoni™, a delicious plant-based version of Pizza Hut’s #1 selling pizza topping, and a first for both brands. Beginning today, the Beyond Pepperoni Pizza will be available as a test in nearly 70 locations across five U.S. markets for a limited time, only at Pizza Hut.

\n

Crisped and seasoned to savory perfection, Beyond Pepperoni delivers just the right amount of subtle heat and offers the same experience and taste of Pizza Hut’s classic pepperoni (1), now with the added benefits of plant-based protein. Beyond Pepperoni was co-developed by Beyond Meat and Pizza Hut’s culinary teams and is made from simple, plant-based ingredients like peas and rice, with no GMOs, soy, gluten, hormones, antibiotics or cholesterol (2). As part of its ongoing partnership with Beyond Meat, Pizza Hut is doubling down on innovation and catering to evolving preferences through exciting, diverse protein options. 

\n

“Pizza Hut’s new Beyond Pepperoni Pizza delivers the same iconic taste as our original pepperoni that fans know and love,” said Georgeanne Erickson, Chief Brand Officer, Pizza Hut. “With this new plant-based option, we’re giving customers more choices and more reasons to love Pizza Hut.”

\n

“We know there is strong consumer demand for pepperoni, and we’re thrilled to unveil a game-changing plant-based pepperoni topping as the next chapter in our innovation-focused partnership with Pizza Hut,” said Dariush Ajami, Chief Innovation Officer, Beyond Meat. “We’re confident fans will love Beyond Pepperoni as it delivers the crisped edges and savory flavor profile of Pizza Hut’s classic pepperoni with the added benefits of plant-based meat.”

\n

For a taste that’s Beyond Belief™, pizza lovers can try the new Beyond Pepperoni Pizza on any of their favorite crusts, including the innovation icons, Original Stuffed Crust® and Original Pan® crusts (3), at nearly 70 Pizza Hut locations in five cities: Albany, New York; Columbus and Macon, Georgia; Houston, Texas; and Jacksonville, Florida.

\n

Beyond Pepperoni Pizza is available for a limited time, while supplies last. To order for contactless delivery, carryout or curbside pickup, customers can click here to find their nearest participating Pizza Hut location and order from the Deals page (4).

\n

Pizza Hut and Beyond Meat are committed to making plant-based protein more accessible to pizza lovers everywhere and hope to bring the new Beyond Pepperoni Pizza to more Pizza Hut locations in the future. The partnership between Pizza Hut and Beyond Meat is part of Yum! Brands’ strategic partnership to cocreate craveable and innovative plant-based protein menu items. Together, the two leaders in their respective categories have launched delicious plant-based meat toppings in the U.S., Canada, Belgium and Puerto Rico.

1. Beyond Pepperoni is plant-based but all Pizza Hut pizzas are prepared by team members with the same cooking tools and ovens used to prepare and serve our delicious animal meat-based pizzas and pastas. Beyond Pepperoni does not contain peanuts or tree nuts. However, it does contain protein from peas, which are legumes. People with severe allergies to other legumes (such as peanuts) should be cautious when introducing pea protein into their diet because of the possibility of a pea allergy.
2. Pizza Hut pizzas and other toppings and crusts may contain these items.
3. For an upcharge, prices vary by location.
4. Team members do their best to accommodate contactless, curbside and other instructions, but availability may vary, and is not guaranteed. Delivery areas, charges and minimums vary. Delivery charge is not a driver tip.

BEYOND MEAT COLLABORATES WITH KFC CHINA TO LAUNCH THE DELICIOUS PLANTBASED BEEF WRAP

\n

The fan-favorite five-sided beef wrap, consistently one of KFC China’s in-demand limited menu
items, has been given a plant-based overhaul courtesy of Beyond Meat

May 26, 2021, Shanghai, China - Beyond Meat (NASDAQ: BYND), a leader in plant-based meat, has
announced that it is continuing its ongoing partnership with leading Western-style fast food restaurant brand KFC China, this time collaborating on a new plant-based meat version of the famous beef wrap, now called the “Plant-Based Spicy Beef Wrap.” The limited wrap is available now in over 2,600 stores in 28 cities throughout China.

This latest product launch follows the first collaboration between Beyond Meat and KFC China which
saw the much-publicized release of the Beyond Burger® in select KFC locations around the country
last year. Beyond Meat is proud to partner with KFC China to help support the brand’s commitment to offering its customers more diverse and sustainable protein options. KFC China's initiatives match up seamlessly with Beyond Meat's principles for offering plant-based meat that can benefit both people and the planet. The beef wrap has long been one of KFC China’s in-demand limited menu items.

However, this year marks the first time that the beloved juicy wrap is available with a great-tasting
plant-based meat filling -- the Plant-Based Spicy Beef Wrap marks a delicious new chapter in this bold partnership.

The five-sided wrap featuring Beyond Meat offers consumers a delicious flavor and satisfying texture
similar to beef but using plant-based meat. Maintaining its iconic pentagonal shape, the Plant-Based
Spicy Beef Wrap combines Beyond Meat with lettuce, tomato salad and mayonnaise, all wrapped in a
crispy tortilla and soft wheat tortilla combo exterior, creating an all-new plant-based experience for
consumers.

The wrap boasts a range of tantalizing plus points, including zero cholesterol and 12.8 grams of plantbased protein while still delivering the succulent mouthfeel and delicious flavor similar to that of beef that fans of the wrap have come to expect. These nutritious highlights combined with the delicious taste and the environmental benefits of plant-based meat make for a winning recipe.

“We are honored to be KFC China’s chosen partner to introduce the first plant-based meat version of
the Spicy Beef Wrap, one of their most iconic and popular menu offerings to consumers,” says Ivy Xu,
Brand & PR Director, Beyond Meat China. “As people continue to seek ways to incorporate plantbased protein into the meals they love, we are confident that KFC guests will enjoy the delicious taste of the Plant-Based Spicy Beef Wrap just as much as the original and will be excited by the added nutritional and environmental benefits of Beyond Meat.”

\n

The Plant-Based Spicy Beef Wrap is available in participating KFC stores around China while supplies
last.

There’s a good reason everyone is always saying to eat your greens. It’s because you’d be hard pressed to find foods which are more nutritionally dense than leafy greens like kale, chard, beet tops, spinach, and cabbage. Each one has a different nutrient profile and they definitely aren’t created equal, but these are just a few of the nutrients you can expect to get:

\n\n

Here’s the problem: it can take some time to learn to love the bitter taste of leafy green veggies. Our advice? Figure out how to integrate them in tasty ways and it’s a win-win. If you’re needing some inspiration or just a quick fix, use these tactics to sneak more greens into your diet.

Green Smoothies

This is a classic move but for good reason. When kale is blended with frozen banana and berries, you won’t even realize it is there – aside from the green color, that is! If you want to mask the appearance as well, try adding some other pigmented fruits like colorful berries to fool your eyes too. Click here for a great simple recipe by Brand New Vegan!

Pesto

\n

Pesto is traditionally made with ground pine nuts, olive oil, cheese, and basil. Just add some spinach or chard to the mix and you’ve got another serving of leafy greens without even noticing. To make this plant-based and equally delicious, go ahead and swap the cheese for nutritional yeast, which gives you some B12 and tastes awesome in the process. Click here for Cookie and Kate’s easy recipe!

Making Salads More Exciting

\n

Leafy greens can have a bitter taste, so they need to be balanced out with a contrasting flavor profile such as savory or sweet. This salad recipe here combines these flavor elements perfectly.

BEYOND MEAT® INTRODUCES ITS NEWEST PRODUCT INNOVATION, BEYOND BREAKFAST SAUSAGE® LINKS, AT GROCERY STORES NATIONWIDE

\n

EL SEGUNDO, Calif., Oct. 08, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Beyond Meat, Inc. (NASDAQ: BYND), a leader in plant-based meat, today announced the addition of Beyond Breakfast Sausage® Links to its line of innovative and delicious plant-based meat offerings. Designed to deliver the same taste and texture as pork-based links, Beyond Breakfast Sausage Links have no GMOs, bioengineered ingredients, synthetic colors, hormones, antibiotics or cholesterol, and have 40% less sodium than a leading brand of traditional pork breakfast sausage links.

\n

The brand’s fourth new retail product of 2020 following the launch of Beyond Breakfast Sausage Patties, Cookout Classic™ and most recently, Beyond Meatballs™, Beyond Breakfast Sausage Links will roll into grocery stores nationwide, including at select Kroger, Albertsons, Sprouts, Harris Teeter, Wegmans, Whole Foods Market and more throughout October. Sold in the meat case with a suggested retail price of $5.99 for eight links, Beyond Breakfast Sausage Links feature a signature blend of savory herbs and spices and are a delicious and satisfying plant-based addition to any breakfast spread.

\n

As a result of the brand’s impressive growth in retail, the company’s products are available at approximately 26,000 retail outlets across the U.S., and consumers have made their preference for Beyond Meat clear: according to the latest 4-week SPINS data ending 9/6/20, Beyond Meat was the #1 selling brand in all refrigerated plant-based meat. Mostly recently, the company has focused on expanding its breakfast platform including doubling its retail distribution of its frozen breakfast sausage patties.

\n

“With demand for plant-based breakfast options continuing to rise and more of us eating breakfast at-home, we knew the segment was ripe for innovation,” said Stuart Kronauge, Chief Marketing Officer, Beyond Meat. “With the launch of Beyond Breakfast Sausage Links, we’re thrilled to introduce another better-for-you plant-based meat option to satisfy consumers’ love of classic breakfast dishes. We think our fans will be excited that they can make restaurant-style breakfast an at-home staple with our new links.”

\n

Beyond Meat’s vision is to be a global protein company capable of serving consumers’ growing demand for delicious, nutritious and sustainable protein. Recently, the findings from a clinical study using Beyond Meat’s plant-based products were published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. In the study conducted at Stanford University, researchers evaluated the impact of replacing animal-based meat with Beyond Meat plant-based meat over an 8-week period on cholesterol levels (including LDL), heart disease risk factors including TMAO levels, and body weight, and found improvement in key health metrics when participants replaced animal-based meat with Beyond Meat plant-based meat. The results provide yet another data point in a growing field of research about how plant-based meat can help people live healthier lives, and Beyond Meat is committed to supporting further academic and scientific study into the impacts of plant-based meats on health.

You may have already heard that eating too much meat is linked to a slew of health problems, including heart disease, type 2 diabetes, cancer, and obesity. Since meat is high in saturated fat and cholesterol and low in fiber, it shouldn’t come as too big of a surprise that excess meat isn’t good for you. But there are also many other less obvious health benefits that come with cutting meat out of your diet. Whether you are a dedicated vegan, a semi-vegetarian, or a meat-reducer, here are some of the surprising benefits which you may enjoy. Although there are countless advantages to meat reduction, here are a select few that we wanted to showcase:

\n
\n

Improved Mood

\n

Mental health is an often overlooked issue that deserves more recognition in society. As an ailment that isn’t clearly visible, this problem is not discussed nearly enough and prescription drugs aren’t always the best (or most effective) solution. With 13% of Americans taking antidepressants, mental health is definitely something that we should pay attention to. It turns out that eating less meat may be one valid way to combat this problem and boost our mental health.

\n

A recent study by researcher Bonnie Beezhold linked eating meat to poor mood. In this study, Beezhold first assessed the moods of people on a typical omnivore diet. Then she divided them into groups. One group continued to eat meat, one switched to a pescatarian diet (fish allowed), and one switched to a vegetarian diet. After two weeks, the subjects then had their moods analyzed again. The vegetarian group had shown significant consistent improvements in mood, even more than the fish group.

\n

The reason that meat may be affecting our mental health is because it contains high amounts of the fatty acid Omega 6. Large amounts of Omega 6 can cause problems like depression and bipolar disorder, among others. By cutting meat from your diet, you reduce excess Omega 6 intake and can enjoy a boost to your mood.

\n
\n

Better Hormonal Health

\n

In the meat industry, it is an overwhelmingly common practice to give animals hormones such as estradiol (a form of estrogen), testosterone, and progesterone in order to increase growth to maximize their output. As the saying goes, you are what you eat – and, yes, we humans directly ingest these hormones as well when we eat meat pumped with it.

\n

There has been surprisingly little research as to whether these hormones are safe for humans. Yet, the evidence we do have is worrisome. A 2010 study found that children who consumed high amounts of animal protein entered puberty about 7 months before children who ate the least amount of animal protein. Other studies have found that the hormone residues in meat yields lower sperm counts in men.

\n

Children and pregnant women are likely the most at risk for these negative side effects, but it goes without saying that extra hormones beyond our natural production do not benefit any of us. With this knowledge, it’s no wonder why countries like Europe, Australia, and Japan have banned hormone-treated meat from the US.

\n
\n

Less Body Odor

\n

It turns out that meat may be to blame for those unholy smells. In an interesting 2006 study, men were separated into groups with a vegetarian or meat-eating diet. Then samples of their body odor were taken and given to women to sniff. The women rated each body odor sample for its “pleasantness, attractiveness, masculinity, and intensity”. The men on the vegetarian diet consistently had their body odor rated better (specifically less stinky). This finding held consistent even after the groups had their diets switched, meaning the original groups swapped diets and the non-meat group was again ranked higher.

\n

Why does meat make you smell? The understanding is that toxins from decomposing meat get secreted along with sweat. The toxins may stink by themselves, but they also attract bacteria which feed on them and produce further unappetizing byproducts.

\n
\n

Longer Life

\n

If you eat meat, here’s a scary fact for you: In a study of over 70,000 people, researchers found that vegetarians were 12% less likely to die from cardiovascular-related issues compared to meat eaters. This study backs up the findings of so many others which have repeatedly found that vegetarians live longer on average than meat eaters. Another medical study found that the blood of vegetarians and vegans was more effective at fighting cancer cells than meat-eaters.

\n

Of course, we know that the goal shouldn’t just be to live longer. What’s important to live a long and healthy quality life. Since vegetarians have much lower incidences of heart disease, cancers, kidney stones, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and obesity, they are certainly likely to enjoy these extra years too.

\n
\n

Convinced Yet?

\n

For some people, it may seem impossible to cut out meat completely. However, limiting the amount and frequency of animal product consumption is always a great option to improve your overall health, help the environment, and feel better mentally, physically, and morally.

HARDEE’S TO BEGIN TESTING BEYOND MEAT® AT BREAKFAST, LUNCH AND DINNER WITH THE NEW BEYOND BREAKFAST SAUSAGE™ BISCUIT AND ORIGINAL BEYOND THICKBURGER®

\n

On October 28, Hardee’s Customers Will Receive a Free Beyond Breakfast Sausage™ Biscuit or Original Beyond Thickburger® with the Purchase of a Large Drink

FRANKLIN, Tenn. — October 16, 2019 — Hardee’s®, known for quality you can taste, today announced it will be partnering with Beyond Meat® as one of the first U.S. quick service restaurant to offer plantbased breakfast, lunch and dinner options. In keeping with the brand’s innovative heritage of offering new twists on classic favorites, Hardee’s will be testing a new Beyond Breakfast Sausage™ Biscuit and an Original Beyond Thickburger® for a limited-time in two regional markets – Raleigh, NC and Kansas City, MO, beginning October 16, 2019.

To celebrate the launch, Hardee’s will offer customers a free Beyond Breakfast Sausage Biscuit, during breakfast hours, or Original Beyond Thickburger, during lunch and dinner hours, with the purchase of a large drink on Monday, October 28, 2019 at participating Hardee’s locations in Raleigh, NC and Kansas City, MO, while supplies last. CKE, the parent company of Hardee’s and Carl’s Jr., was an early entrant into the plant-based space. In December 2018, Carl’s Jr. became one of Beyond Meat’s largest U.S. plant-based, quick service partners with the launch of the Beyond Famous Star. With more than 4.5 million Beyond Famous Stars sold todate, Hardee’s has taken key insights from the Carl’s Jr. launch and applied them to the test at Hardee’s restaurants, including testing breakfast, lunch and dinner.

“Core to our brand DNA, at Hardee’s we’re always looking to offer new and innovative menu items that bring our customers the hand-crafted quality they know and love. The new test of Beyond Meat products for the Hardee’s menu is bringing today’s consumers the innovation they crave, morning, noon and night,” said Jenna Folk, Sr. Director of Brand Marketing, Hardee’s. “We’re kicking off the plant-based test in two markets with a strong college presence – we know college campuses and Gen Z specifically are helping to drive bold new conversations and lead culinary trends of the future, like the flexitarian diet. Knowing Beyond Meat is the market leader in the category, and with the tremendous success we’ve had at Carl’s Jr., we’re thrilled to expand the partnership in select Hardee’s restaurants.”

Hardee’s is prioritizing the quality flavors that the brand is known for by pairing innovative Beyond Meat offerings with the restaurants number-one selling, Made From Scratch Biscuits for breakfast and the signature Charbroil cooking-style for its burgers. The Original Beyond Thickburger® includes a Beyond Burger™ patty, Charbroiled in Hardee’s signature style, and topped with lettuce, tomato, red onion, dill pickles, ketchup, mustard and mayo on a toasted premium bun. The Beyond Breakfast Sausage Biscuit includes a delicious Beyond Breakfast Sausage™ patty on Hardee’s Made From Scratch Biscuits, and both can be customized when ordering.

“Hardee’s has a strong heritage across the Southeast and their desire to offer the Beyond Burger and
Beyond Breakfast Sausage reflects an important shift in the demand for plant-based meat,” said Ethan Brown, CEO and Founder, Beyond Meat. “We’re excited to make plant-based options accessible in more and more communities as we move toward a better-for-you, more sustainable future.”

Both the Original Beyond Thickburger®, starting at $5.99, and the Beyond Breakfast Sausage™ Biscuit, starting at $2.99, will be available in participating Hardee’s restaurants in Raleigh, NC and Kansas City, MO beginning October 16, 2019. Price and participation may vary.

BEYOND MEAT® ANNOUNCES ENTRANCE INTO CANADIAN RETAIL TIMED TO THE START OF SUMMER BBQ SEASON
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

The brand’s popular plant-based Beyond Burger™ will be arriving in May at more than 3,000 Canadian grocery stores nationwide

\n

TORONTO--Arriving just in time for summer BBQ season, Beyond Meat® announced today that for the first time, its plant-based Beyond Burger™ will be available in the meat case at Canadian retail outlets nationwide at Co-op Food Stores, Fresh Street Market, IGA, Loblaw, Longos, Metro, Save On Foods, Sobeys, and Whole Foods Market.

\n

“On the heels of our successful launch with A&W that introduced Canadians to the delicious taste of The Beyond Burger, retail is the natural next step for our brand,” said Beyond Meat Founder and CEO Ethan Brown. “We couldn’t be more excited that just in time for the summer BBQ season, Canadians can now enjoy our burgers at home with friends and family, while receiving the added health and environmental benefits of plant-based meat.”

\n

The Beyond Burger® is the first plant-based burger that’s designed to look, cook and satisfy like beef but is made entirely from plants without soy, gluten or GMOs. The delicious plant-based patty boasts 20g of protein with less total & saturated fat than a traditional beef burger, making it the perfect mealtime solution for a growing consumer segment in search of more nutritious and environmentally sustainable protein options.

\n

“We are about accessibility and meeting people where they’re at in their journey-- whether you're a hardcore carnivore or a strict vegan, you should be able to have our burgers, enjoy what you're eating and feel great afterward,” continued Brown.

\n

According to the 2019 Canada Food Guide, Canadians are encouraged to diversify their protein sources, with an emphasis on incorporating more plant-based proteins. Beyond Meat works in service of that vision by sourcing the same building blocks of meat -- proteins, fats, trace minerals and water --- directly from the plant kingdom, and then using them to rebuild meat from the ground up without sacrificing taste or texture. This innovative approach results in a delicious burger that is better-for-you and uses fewer natural resources than traditional livestock production.

\n

The Beyond Burger (MSRP $7.49-7.99CAD) will be available in the meat case at the following retailers and other independent & natural food stores by end of May (price & participation may vary):

\n
    \n
  • Co-op Food Stores
    • \n
  • Georgia Main Food Group: Fresh Street Market & IGA
    • \n
  • Loblaw: Fortinos, Maxi and Superstore
    • \n
  • Longos
    • \n
  • Metro: Food Basics and Super C
    • \n
  • Save On Foods: PriceSmart, Urban Fare
    • \n
  • Sobeys: Foodland, Freshco, IGA, IGA Extra, Price Chopper, Rachelle-Béry, Safeway, Sobeys Urban Fresh and Thrifty Foods
    • \n
  • Whole Foods Market

BEYOND MEAT® BRING BEYOND SAUSAGE TO FOOD-FORWARD BAY AREA

\n

A first of its kind, the new plant-based sausage hits the menu at Rosamunde Sausage Grill’s three San Francisco area locations

\n

San Francisco, CALIF. (March 6, 2018) – Beyond Meat is expanding its presence in San Francisco with the unveiling of the revolutionary Beyond Sausage. The company’s newest plant-based meat option is now available at Rosamunde Sausage Grill at their Mission Street, Haight Street and Oakland locations.

\n

“In keeping with our Eat What You LoveTM brand promise, I am pleased to bring to market our delicious plant-based sausage line, product innovation that provides consumers with that satiating taste and juiciness of animal sausage with the health and environmental upside of plant-based eating.” said Ethan Brown, Founder & CEO of Beyond Meat.

\n

Aligning with Beyond Meat’s commitment to creating better-for-you protein options, the Beyond Sausage has 16g of protein per link, more than that of traditional pork sausage, and 38% less saturated fat. The first plant-based sausage that delivers on the juicy, satisfying taste and texture of pork sausage, Beyond Sausage is available in three traditional sausage flavors -- Original Bratwurst, Sweet Italian and Hot Italian -- that will satisfy the appetites of carnivores and vegetarians alike.

\n

“It’s always been important to us to have a vegan sausage on the menu to serve the diverse needs our customers, and have long been searching for a better option, something without gluten and soy, and that would appeal more broadly to all our customers” said Josh Margolis, owner of Rosamunde Sausage Grill. “The minute I took a bite of Beyond Sausage and tasted the explosion of flavor, and felt the signature snap of the casing there wasn’t a doubt in my mind that we needed to put this on our menu. Our customers are going to go nuts for this.”

\n

Beginning today, Rosamunde Sausage Grill will offer Beyond Sausage alongside the other meat-centric options on their menu either as a plated option, served with salad and baked beans for $12, or in a bun for customers to create-their-own build with two house made toppings for $8.50. Toppings include grilled onions, sauerkraut, sweet onions, hot peppers, spicy beef chili, mango chutney and more.

\n

Hailed as a miracle of meatiness, Beyond Sausage is the first sausage you actually want to know how it’s made. A blend of pea, fava bean and rice provide the protein, while trace amounts of beet juice lend the meaty red color. Coconut oil ensures mouth-watering juiciness, all wrapped in a 100% plant-based casing derived from algae. A first of its kind, Beyond Sausage has no GMOs, soy or gluten.

\n

Building The Future of Protein
Plant-based leader, Beyond Meat, most recently announced the construction of its new Manhattan Beach Project research and innovation facility in Los Angeles. A seven-fold increase of the existing R&D footprint, the new state-of-the-art facility is projected to triple current pilot capabilities and reduce production scale up timelines in as much as half. Bringing together the best and brightest scientists, engineers, food technologists, chefs, and researchers, they work together in service of a single goal: perfectly build a piece of meat directly from plants.

\n

Throughout 2018, Beyond Sausage will continue to pop up at additional location throughout the country, before rolling out at select retail stores. For more information, visit www.beyondmeat.com.

BEYOND MEAT® INTRODUCES THE REVOLUTIONARY PLANT-BASED BEYOND MINCE® ACROSS COOP SUPERMARKETS IN SWEDEN

\n

Swedish supermarket Coop is the first Nordic retailer to sell Beyond Mince

\n

Beyond Mince is designed to look, cook and satisfy like minced beef but is 100% plant-based and made without soy, gluten or GMOs 

\n

Stockholm, October 13, 2020 – Beyond Meat, Inc., a leader in plant-based meat, today announced the introduction of its revolutionary Beyond Mince® in Swedish supermarkets. As of October 26, supermarket chain Coop becomes the first retailer to offer Beyond Mince in the Nordics, with availability online and in selected stores across Sweden.

Beyond Mince is designed to have the meaty taste, texture and versatility consumers love about minced beef, but with the added environmental benefits of plant-based protein. From tacos to meatballs, and Bolognese to sliders, Beyond Mince is a seamless swap for any traditional minced beef recipe. Beyond Mince has:
● A source of protein with 15g per 100g serving
● No cholesterol
● Made without soy, gluten or GMOs

“We are excited to introduce our latest product innovation in Europe,” said Chuck Muth, Chief Growth Officer, Beyond Meat. “Beyond Mince allows consumers to enjoy all the culinary versatility of minced beef, with the environmental benefits of plant-based meat. Given our long-standing partnership with Coop, we’re thrilled for them to be the first retailer to bring this innovative product to Swedish kitchens.”

“At Coop, we are always looking for products to expand our range of plant-based products and offer customers alternative choices. Today we’re extremely happy to be the first supermarket chain in Sweden to offer the Beyond Mince product, further strengthening our position when it comes to plant-based alternatives,” said Oskar Lundgren, Kategori- och inköpsansvarig at Coop Sweden.

The Swedish introduction of Beyond Mince follows the successful launch of the Beyond Burger® and Beyond Sausage® at Coop last year, which resulted in the Beyond Burger becoming the #1 selling plantbased burger at the retailer. In addition to Coop, Beyond Meat products are widely available across the  globe; as of June 27, 2020, Beyond Meat’s portfolio of plant-based meats were available at approximately 112,000 retail and foodservice outlets in 85 countries, including Sweden, where the Beyond Burger is currently available at various restaurants such as Bastard Burger, Phil’s Burger, Scandic Hotel and Texas Longhorn.

Founded in 2009, Beyond Meat has a mission of building meat directly from plants, an innovation that enables consumers to experience the taste, texture and other sensory attributes of popular animal-based meat products while enjoying the nutritional and environmental benefits of eating its plant-based meat products. For retailers and restaurants interested in carrying Beyond Mince, Beyond Meat is distributed in Sweden by Zandbergen World’s Finest Meat.

BEYOND MEAT® AND PIZZA HUT LAUNCH THE BEYOND PIZZA® IN BELGIUM

\n

Brussels, 12 October 2020 - Beyond Meat, Inc., a leader in plant-based meat, and Pizza Hut, Belgium's favorite pizza baker, are launching The Beyond Pizza® tomorrow. This 100% plant-based pizza, specifically aimed at meat lovers, is now available at Pizza Hut restaurants in Belgium and will be offered on the menu as a limited time option until December 7.

GROWING DEMAND FOR PLANT-BASED PRODUCTS AMONG BELGIAN CONSUMERS
With the launch of The Beyond Pizza, Pizza Hut wants to respond to two important requests from Belgian customers. They want to surprise meat lovers with a delicious plant-based option, for which they can count on the expertise of Beyond Meat. In addition, the two partners want to contribute to a lower environmental impact by offering a plant-based topping1.

\"At Pizza Hut we see that our customers are increasingly looking for plant-based options to their favorite dishes,\" explains Stef Meulemans, CEO of Top Brands, and Pizza Hut in Belgium. \"We are delighted to meet this demand through our collaboration with Beyond Meat, a leading producer of plant-based meat.”

\"In line with our Eat What You Love™ brand promise, we want consumers to enjoy their favorite dishes with the benefits of plant-based meat, and are excited to introduce customers at Pizza Hut to the delicious taste and texture of a plant-based topping made with the Beyond Burger®,\" said Bram Meijer, EMEA Regional Marketing Director of Beyond Meat. \"Our goal is to make plant-based meat more accessible and we are proud to be able to advance this goal in Belgium through our cooperation with Pizza Hut.”

A PLANT-BASED PIZZA MADE WITH THE BEYOND BURGER
The Beyond Burger topping is designed to deliver the delicious taste and juicy texture of animal based meat but is made from plant-based ingredients without soy, gluten, GMOs, and cholesterol. The partnership between  Beyond Meat and Pizza Hut means that meat lovers can now enjoy the iconic Pizza Hut experience with a plantbased twist, no sacrifice required. The Beyond Pizza contains the following ingredients: pizza dough, tomato sauce, vegan cheese from Violife, Beyond Burger crumbles, mushrooms, red onion, pepper and parsley. The pizza can be ordered in any size: normal, medium and large, and can be prepared with different types of dough such as Pan or Classic.

\n

1 The plant-based topping consists of the crumbled Beyond Burger. In 2018, the University of Michigan conducted a life cycle assessment concluding that “[b]ased on a comparative assessment of the current Beyond Burger production system with the 2017 beef LCA by Thoma et al, the Beyond Burger generates 90% less greenhouse gas emissions, requires 46% less energy, has >99% less impact on water scarcity and 93% less impact on land use than a ¼ pound of U.S. beef.” The study is available here.

METRO CHINA PARTNERS WITH BEYOND MEAT TO OFFER BEYOND BURGER IN METRO STORES INCREASING SUSTAINABLE DIET CHOICES

\n

Shanghai July 14, 2020 – METRO China has announced its partnership with innovative plant-based meat company Beyond Meat to sell the Beyond Burger in select METRO China stores in Shanghai from July 15th to bring high-quality plant-based meat to Chinese consumers.

\n

The plant-based Beyond Burger is designed to look, cook and taste like a minced beef burger. Made from simple, plant-based ingredients without soy or gluten, the Beyond Burger delivers the juicy, satisfying burger eating experience, with the added nutritional and environmental benefits of plant based meat. A 2018 Life Cycle Assessment conducted by the University of Michigan found that the production of the Beyond Burger patty emits 90% less greenhouse gas than a same-sized U.S. beef burger patty.

\n

METRO China President Claude Sarrailh stated, “In recent years, consumers have started to realize the health and environmental benefits of plant-based meat. We are very excited to join hands with Beyond Meat to deliver the company’s innovative plant-based meat products to Chinese dining tables, and we welcome everyone to METRO China stores to experience this sustainable, gourmet experience.”

Chuck Muth, Chief Growth Officer said, “We are honored to partner with METRO China to introduce this latest Beyond Burger offering to their loyal customer base. By offering the Beyond Burger in a value pack, we continue to further our mission to make plant-based meat more accessible to more consumers.”

\n

Dedication to High-Quality Products
With a deep understanding of our consumers’ needs, METRO China continues to optimize its product portfolio to match changing market preferences. With the increasing attention paid to plant-based diets, METRO China has introduced a variety of plant-based beverages in 2020, and the launch of the Beyond Burger in METRO China stores is one more step in meeting our customers’ needs for high-quality, nutritious products.

Vice President of METRO China and Director of Commodity Management Bertrand Mothe said of the
partnership: “METRO China has always been committed to providing consumers with superior quality goods and service and we continue to develop diversified product lines. We hope to give Chinese consumers with different lifestyle needs more choices by continually enriching our product portfolio.”

Leading Sustainable Consumption
Over the years, METRO China has been dedicated to sustainable development throughout the company’s supply chain, while also achieving commercial success and creating more value for employees, consumers, partners, and society.

As a leader in green operations, almost half of METRO stores have upgraded their carbon dioxide
refrigeration systems, which has reduced carbon emissions by 24,600 tons per year—the equivalent of planting over 490,000 trees. Additionally, METRO China has integrated recycling measures for boxes and other packaging and optimized transportation routes to reduce the carbon footprint of METRO China’s logistics capabilities. Through strict control of our procurement channels, METRO China has implemented responsible procurement of sustainable raw materials and has obtained several certifications for its products from third-party organizations including the Marine Stewardship Council, Forest Stewardship Council, the Business Social Compliance Initiative, and others. METRO China continuously works to provide consumers with sustainable consumption options in their daily lives.

Coles is proud to be a part of the introduction of another innovative and delicious plant-based protein product on Australian shelves,\" said Wischer.

BEYOND MEAT® LAUNCHES BEYOND CHICKEN® TENDERS AT RESTAURANTS NATIONWIDE 

\n

The newest, award-winning product that’s disrupting the poultry category is now available for consumers to try for the first time

\n

EL SEGUNDO, Calif., July 8, 2021 -- Beyond Meat® (NASDAQ: BYND), a leader in plant-based meat, today launched its new, awarding-winning Beyond Chicken® Tenders. Crafted to look, cook and taste like traditional chicken tenders, the delicious plant-based Beyond Chicken Tenders are breaded to perfection for a crispy outside and irresistibly tender bite. Starting today, consumers can find the latest must-try product from Beyond Meat at select restaurants across the country.

\n

Consumer demand for chicken is continuing to skyrocket—in fact, chicken is so in-demand that the nation is currently facing a shortage.[1] Enter Beyond Chicken Tenders, the next frontier of plant-based meat innovation and a delicious, nutritious option that does not sacrifice any of the taste and texture of traditional chicken tenders: a crispy, golden outside immediately followed by a flavorful, juicy inside. In consumer testing, the product scored at parity in overall flavor to animal-based chicken tenders.[2] As restaurants are rebounding while struggling to meet soaring consumer demand,[3] Beyond Meat is proud to offer a plant-based option for the ultimate everyday, nostalgic or late-night craving that’s perfect as a standalone appetizer or entree, or as an addition to sandwiches, salads and tacos.

\n

Like all Beyond Meat products, Beyond Chicken Tenders are made from simple, plant-based ingredients like faba beans and peas. With 14g of protein per serving, they’re an excellent source of protein and have 40% less saturated fat than the leading foodservice chicken tender. Beyond Chicken Tenders are also made with no GMOs, antibiotics or hormones, and have no cholesterol.

\n

This new product marks the latest chapter in Beyond Meat’s product innovation story, building on the success of its first breakthrough plant-based chicken product in 2012.

BEYOND MEAT® ANNOUNCES MAJOR RETAIL EXPANSIONS THROUGHOUT EUROPE

This spring, Beyond Meat products will be available in thousands of new retail locations in the United Kingdom, Germany, Austria and more

EL SEGUNDO, Calif., April 12, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Beyond Meat, Inc. (NASDAQ: BYND), a leader in plant-based meat, today announced significant product distribution expansion within thousands of European retail locations this spring. As Beyond Meat has grown its retail presence in the region, the European plant-based foods market has seen aggressive growth with sales increasing by 49% over the last two years1. Beyond Meat’s commitment to making products utilizing simple, plant-based ingredients without GMOs has enabled the brand to rapidly expand product distribution throughout the continent.

Beyond Meat products are available at approximately 122,000 retail and foodservice outlets in over 80 countries worldwide. The new product distribution in Europe includes:

United Kingdom: In April, Sainsbury’s is nearly doubling its distribution of the Beyond Burger® nationwide. This follows the launch of Beyond Sausage®in Sainsbury stores this past January. Waitrose also recently launched the Beyond Burger and Beyond Sausage. Between these two retailers, Beyond Meat is entering 445 new retail stores throughout the UK market.

Germany: Throughout April and May, Beyond Meat is expanding its product offerings in over 1,000 new German retail stores through Kaufland, Tegut, Famila and Real.

Austria: In April, Beyond Meat will expand product offerings at SPAR locations throughout Austria and will add products to BILLA and BILLA PLUS locations. The expansion will bring Beyond Meat products to a total of approximately 1,140 new retail stores in Austria.

Switzerland: This April, Beyond Meat will expand Beyond Mince® distribution to 155 Migros stores throughout the country.

The Netherlands: In March, Beyond Mince became available for the first time in the market through distribution at nearly 1,000 Albert Heijn and Jumbo stores.

With the recent development of Beyond Meat’s European product innovation Beyond Mince, the company continues its retail expansion focus in additional countries such as France, Spain, Belgium, Italy and more at prominent retailers such as Casino Group, Carrefour, Esselunga and Delhaize.

“These new and expanded retail partnerships throughout the continent serve as strong proof points that Europe’s appetite for plant-based meat and Beyond Meat products in particular is on the rise,” said Chuck Muth, Chief Growth Officer, Beyond Meat. “In fact, because of our strict ingredient guardrails, we’ve been able to more easily enter global markets including the EU to make plant-based meat options that are better for people and the planet more accessible to all.”

In June 2020, Beyond Meat announced the opening of its first co-manufacturing facility in Europe in partnership with Zandbergen World’s Finest Meat in Zoeterwoude, as well as the acquisition of the company’s first manufacturing facility in Enschede, underscoring the company’s commitment to serving its global markets. The Enschede facility will work together with the Zandbergen co-manufacturing facility to allow for end-to-end manufacturing capabilities in Europe. Together, the facilities will increase the speed, scale and efficiency with which Beyond Meat can produce and distribute its latest product innovations to its retail and foodservice customers across Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

The move comes as part of Beyond Meat’s effort to meet consumers’ growing demand for delicious, nutritious and sustainable, plant-based meat made without GMOs or bioengineered ingredients. In a study conducted at Stanford University and published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, researchers evaluated the impact of replacing animal-based meat with Beyond Meat’s plant-based meats over an 8-week period on cholesterol levels (including LDL), heart disease risk factors including TMAO levels, and body weight, and found improvement in key health metrics when participants replaced animal-based meat with Beyond Meat’s plant-based meat. The results of the Stanford University study complement the results of the University of Michigan’s 2018 LCA which showed that the original Beyond Burger, compared to producing a ¼ lb. standard 80/20 beef burger, has 99% less impact on water scarcity, 93% less impact on land use, requires 46% less energy and generates 90% less greenhouse gas emissions.

Today’s lesson plan: feeding the future and sustainability. At Beyond Meat, we believe that all students should have access to education on important topics that impact their lives. That is why we are taking our sustainability education work with leading digital education innovator EVERFI to the next level by teaming up with Beyond Meat Ambassador Liza Koshy to launch The Beyond Lunch Sustainability Challenge. 

\n

Beginning today, classes across the country that are enrolled in Beyond Meat and EVERFI’s course, Sustainability Foundations: Plants, Animals and Our World, can submit their innovative, out-of-the-box ideas for how they’d make their lunchrooms more sustainable. One lucky school will be awarded $10,000 to help make the ideas a reality!

\n

“I’m excited to partner with Beyond Meat and EVERFI on an initiative that speaks directly to today’s youth and challenges them to incorporate sustainable practices into their daily lives,” said Beyond Meat ambassador, Liza Koshy. “My mother always taught me to leave places better than you found them and since I was a kid, I’ve felt a responsibility to help better the planet through my everyday actions. Little choices that you make day-to-day, such as going plant-based for lunch, a snack or a whole day makes a huge difference over time. That is why I am proud to work with Beyond Meat and EVERFI to inspire and reward students for thinking more sustainably.”

\n

The Beyond Lunch Sustainability Challenge is an extension of Beyond Meat and EVERFI’s free course, which was created last fall and designed for fifth through eighth-graders in an effort to expand access to sustainability education for all students. The science-based course is grounded in real-world examples and covers topics on global resource constraints, the importance of biodiversity, climate change and how to innovate for a healthy life. Through this course, we aim to empower the next generation to understand that their choices, no matter how small, can make a big difference.

Can’t get enough chicken? America seems to agree—in the midst of a raging chicken war that’s causing shortages of poultry around the country, Beyond Meat® is unleashing its newest plant-based chicken product: Beyond Chicken® Tenders. 

\n

Crafted to look, cook and taste like traditional animal-based chicken tenders, Beyond Chicken Tenders are breaded to perfection and have a tasty, tender bite. Great for a late-night craving or a lunchtime snack. Pair it with your favorite sauce. Throw it in a salad. Sandwich it against two buttery waffles—don’t forget the syrup. Whatever your pleasure, try the latest plant-based innovation from Beyond Meat at restaurants across the country starting in July.

\n

To find the closest restaurant offering Beyond Chicken Tenders, click here or see below for all our participating restaurant partners.

\n

Not only do Beyond Chicken Tenders taste great, they’re also better for you: with 14g of protein per serving, they’re an excellent source of protein and have 40% less saturated fat than the leading foodservice chicken tender. Beyond Chicken Tenders are also made with no GMOs, antibiotics or hormones and have no cholesterol. No sacrifices on taste or on health. 

\n

Don’t just take our word for it—Beyond Chicken Tenders tasted at parity in overall flavor to animal-based chicken tenders in consumer tests, and the National Restaurant Association recently awarded the tenders with its famed Food and Beverage Industry Award. 

\n

Redick, David Wright, Maya Moore, April Ross, Eric Bledsoe, Maggie Vessey, and Tia Blanco. Each athlete has adopted plant protein in his or her diets to noticeable effect. Over the coming months, as part of The Future of Protein campaign, we'll serve up a series of photographs, videos, and other digital content that conveys each athlete's fitness and performance with a nod to the plant protein that fuels them.

\n

Ethan Brown, Beyond Meat founder and CEO, commented on The Future of Protein campaign: \"We've formed partnerships with specific athletes who are embracing clean plant-based proteins to help fuel their performance, overall health, and energy levels. What I love about the campaign is that our athlete partners intuitively understand the benefits of plant-based proteins and so effectively communicate--by example--these benefits to families and children. At Beyond Meat, our plant-based meats let consumers continue to eat what they love, from chili to burgers to bolognese, without the downsides of animal protein. We believe The Future of Protein is increasingly plant-based, and our athlete partners will lead the way.\"

With a growing demand for plant-based meats in the UK, Beyond Meat is excited to provide a delicious and sustainable alternative for those looking to reduce animal-based meat in their diets.

2019 is kicking off with a meaty milestone: We've teamed up with Carl's Jr., our largest US restaurant partner to date, to bring forth a major innovation in fast food. Say hellooooo to the Beyond Famous Star, a plant-based version of the restaurant's most iconic burger build. The quarter-pound Beyond Burger patty is cooked top-to-bottom on an open flame in Carl's Jr.'s unique char broiler, packing its delicious flavor right into the burger.

\n

Starting today, January 2nd, fans can order The Beyond Famous Star from over 1,000 participating locations. It comes topped with melted American cheese, lettuce, tomato, sliced onions, dill pickles, special sauce and mayonnaise on a seeded bun. For a plant-based option, simply ask for it without cheese and mayo.

\n

\"I have long looked forward to the day when my kids can go to a major fast-food chain and order The Beyond Burger. I am grateful to say that day has arrived,\" said Ethan Brown, Beyond Meat Founder & CEO. \"At our core, Beyond Meat is about enabling consumers to Eat What You Love™, and there is no better example than being able to enjoy a delicious Carl's Jr. burger, while receiving the added health and sustainability benefits of the plant-based Beyond Burger. It is with innovative and forward-looking partners, like Carl's Jr., that we are building a brighter and more sustainable future.\"

Happiest Holidays to our Beyond Meat family--With 2017 rapidly approaching, it's a great time to reflect on the game-changing year that was...

\n

Since our inception, Beyond Meat's mission has been geared towards replacing animal protein with plant protein that can win the hearts and bellies of every eater. 2016 marked a major leap towards that goal with our launch of The Beyond Burger™ – a plant-based patty that looks, cooks, and tastes so much like fresh ground beef, it's being sold in the meat aisle at grocery stores. As our sports-crazed founder Ethan proclaimed, \"We're finally out of the penalty box [meat alternatives in the frozen aisle], and playing on the main field!\" Our early research indicates 70% of the people buying The Beyond Burger are carnivores – exactly who we're trying to reach with delicious options that bypass the health and environmental downsides of animal protein.

\n

We're currently selling the Beyond Burger in over 200 Whole Foods stores with a complete rollout to come soon in 2017. We also have our friends at Veggie Grill preparing their stellar VG Beyond Burger at each of their 28 locations. But this is just the top of the bun...we've got BIG plans for our burger in the coming year.

\n

Additionally, our Future of Protein Athlete Partners had themselves a WHALE of a year. From April Ross, Maya Moore, and Tia Blanco's medal winning performances, to JJ Redick and David Wright's playoff heroics, these athletes continue to prove the benefits of plant protein.

\n

Last but not least, we have to shamelessly and lovingly thank the folks that got us here. 2016 marked a banner year for Beyond Meat and none of the progress, innovation, and tastiness would have been possible without the continued support from our amazing fans. Whether you posted a tasty pic on Insta, cooked up a BYMT meal for a friend, or simply thought about us...we're beyond grateful. Happy New Year!

COOKOUT TIPS 

\n

By: @JanetterFernandez 

\n

As we all get ready to celebrate Independence Day, it's important we do so safely. If you're looking to BBQ with a group of close friends and family this week, check out the tips below to take your social distancing cookout BEYOND.

\n

1. Swag bags: 

\n

Fill swag bags with hand sanitizer, wipes, reusable utensils and masks as a great way to make sure everyone stays safe and doesn’t share items. Purchase from local businesses to help entrepreneurs stay open. 

\n

2. The sky is the limit: 

\n

With technology, we are able to bring your friends from around the world to your BBQ through your favorite apps. It’s a great way to introduce your buds to your traditions and show off your grilling skills. 

\n

3. Music: 

\n

Create a playlist together. Have guests add their top hits in one folder and the day of the party, have a full-on jam session. Friends can tell stories about their favorite concert and reminisce about the moment. Or enjoy the Cookout Classics Beyond Meat put together below. 

\n

4. Recipe Cards: 

\n

Make digital recipe cards for your guests. Guests love knowing they can recreate some of their favorite dishes at home after the party is over. 

\n

5. Group Games: 

\n

Play games digitally through apps like House Party and Heads Up. They help get the laughter going 

\n

6. Leftovers: 

\n

Have guests bring their own containers and send them home with bomb leftovers for the next day. This way the BBQ feels like it never ended. 

\n

Share how you take your cookout Beyond by tagging us on social using @BeyondMeat.

Meat lovers rejoice! Beyond Meat is bringing a revolutionary plant-based breakthrough to the dinner table: Beyond Sausage. The newest product from Beyond Meat delivers on the juicy, satisfying taste and texture of pork sausage but with added health benefits of plant-based meat, including:

*per link of the leading brand

\n

\"I love Beyond Sausage first and foremost because it's truly so enjoyable to eat but also because I see it as an advance in our team's relentless march toward a perfect build of meat from plants,\" said Ethan Brown, CEO of Beyond Meat. \"Though we aren't there yet, I'm encouraged by the progress we've made with Beyond Sausage and look forward to hearing what the consumer thinks.\"

\n

\n

 

\n

It's a miracle of modern meatiness and the first sausage you actually want to know what's inside: a blend of pea, fava bean and rice provide the protein. Trace amounts of beet lend the meaty red color. Coconut oil ensures mouth-watering juiciness. And it's all wrapped in a 100% plant-based casing derived from algae.

\n

In keeping with our promise to create better-for-you protein options, we're launching Beyond Sausage in three delicious flavors: Original Bratwurst, Hot Italian and Sweet Italian.

\n

Starting today, December 18th, all three flavors of Beyond Sausage will be sold exclusively for a limited time at the Beyond Burger restaurant inside the Whole Foods Market Pearl Street store in Boulder, where The Beyond Burger first launched in May of 2016 and sold out in one hour.

\n

\"As a category leader in plant-based meat alternatives, Beyond Meat has revolutionized how consumers get their protein,\" said Red Elk Banks, vice president of Whole Foods Market's Rocky Mountain region. \"We're thrilled to introduce the Beyond Sausage to our Boulder shoppers, and proud to partner with Beyond Meat on the introduction on another innovative and delicious plant-based protein.\"

BEYOND MEAT LAUNCHES NEW E-COMMERCE SITE ON JD.COM, MAKING ITS
PRODUCTS MORE WIDELY ACCESSIBLE ACROSS CHINA

Beyond Meat continues its expansion in China with the launch of the brand’s e-commerce
presence to satisfy growing consumer demand for its delicious and nutritious plant-based
products

Through this launch, Beyond Pork™, Beyond Meat’s signature Chinese product innovation,
becomes available in select cities throughout China for the first time

Shanghai, China – July 15, 2021 - To make plant-based meat accessible to more consumers
across China, Beyond Meat, Inc. (NASDAQ: BYND) today announced the launch of a new ecommerce site on JD.com, one of the country’s leading technology-driven e-commerce companies. This new online store is Beyond Meat’s first e-commerce channel in China, and will offer a variety of its delicious and nutritious plant-based products like Beyond Beef™, the Beyond
Burger® and Beyond Pork™ in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, with plans to
expand to 300 cities in the country.

The opening of the store also marks the first time that consumers can directly purchase Beyond
Pork, a savory and sumptuous product that was created exclusively for the Chinese market.
Designed to deliver the great taste, juicy texture and culinary versatility of animal-based ground
pork, Beyond Pork is made with simple, plant-based ingredients and is a rich source of protein
with 18.5g per 100g serving. The product also has approximately 50% less saturated and total fat
than conventional 70/30 ground pork.

For home cooks, Beyond Meat products provide an excellent swap for favorite local dishes such
as stir-fry, dumplings, mapo tofu, zhajiang noodles and lion's head meatballs, further
demonstrating Beyond Meat’s versatility in the kitchen and meeting consumer demand for
delicious, nutritious and sustainable protein. As a direct-to-consumer site, JD.com unlocks a new
way for consumers to shop for Beyond Meat products and continues to expand Beyond Meat’s 
retail presence in Mainland China, building off its success with Alibaba’s Hema and METRO China
stores.

JD.com’s extensive cold chain logistics capabilities, which includes 18 cold chain warehouses,
help provide quick delivery of Beyond Meat products to consumers in participating cities in China.
Beyond Beef, the Beyond Burger and Beyond Pork are produced locally at Beyond Meat’s newlyopened production facility in the Jiaxing Economic & Technological Development Zone (JXEDZ)
and stored in JD.com’s warehouses across China for on-demand ordering and delivery.

Candy Chan, Beyond Meat China General Manager, said of the partnership, “Beyond Meat is
excited to launch its store on JD.com to expand our local availability and reach consumers
throughout China. With increased capabilities thanks to our new manufacturing facility in the
JXEDZ, we are able to offer a growing portfolio of great-tasting, locally-produced plant-based
meat products that are nutritious and sustainable.”

The new e-commerce site announcement comes just 15 months after Beyond Meat first entered
Mainland China through a partnership with Starbucks China. Within its first year in the market,
Beyond Meat has launched a high-profile foodservice partnership with Yum! China as well as with
well-known names in China’s dining scene, including Jindingxuan, GangLi Beijing, Slow Boat
Brewery, W Hotel Shanghai and more.

THE BRAND NEW BEYOND BURGER® LAUNCHES AT GROCERY STORES NATIONWIDE

\n

The meatiest, juiciest burger yet features mouthwatering taste and even stronger nutritional wins with 35% less fat and saturated fat, and fewer calories than 80/20 beef

\n

The new iteration will be available in a 2-pack, the first-ever value 4-pack and a 1lb. Beyond Beef® pack

\n

Beyond Burger mobile pop-ups in select cities across the U.S. will offer consumers an exclusive first taste before it officially hits store shelves

\n

EL SEGUNDO, Calif., April 27, 2021 -- Beyond Meat, Inc. (NASDAQ: BYND), a leader in plant-based meat, today announced that the highly-anticipated new version of its iconic Beyond Burger® will arrive in grocery stores nationwide beginning the week of May 3rd. The latest and greatest Beyond Burger, which offers impressive advancements in taste and nutrition, will be sold in a 2-pack, the brand’s first-ever value 4-pack (MSRP: $9.99) and a 1lb. Beyond Beef® pack.

\n

“We are continuously working on understanding beef flavor at a deeper level to ensure our plant-based beef platform delivers a delicious and satisfying sensory experience. The new Beyond Burger’s rich flavor profile resembles that of ground beef, and extensive testing with our consumers validated this new flavor direction with likeability scoring on-par with 80/20 ground beef burgers,” said Dariush Ajami, Chief Innovation Officer, Beyond Meat.

\n

In addition to its irresistible taste, the new Beyond Burger delivers strong nutritional benefits such as:

\n\n

“The launch of the latest Beyond Burger iteration is another strong step forward in providing consumers with absolutely delicious plant-based meat that is better for people and the planet, no sacrifice required,” said Ethan Brown, Beyond Meat Founder and CEO. “It is my hope that these meaningful advances in taste and nutrition, using only non-GMO plant-based ingredients, will delight existing consumers and invite others to join us in Going Beyond.” 

\n

The Beyond Burger: A Global Sizzling Sensation

\n

The company introduced the Beyond Burger in 2016, revolutionizing the category as the first plant-based burger designed to look, cook and taste like animal meat and sold in the meat case. The Beyond Burger has since become a ubiquitous symbol for the future of food innovation and is available at approximately 28,000 retail locations across the US and in more than 80 countries globally. As demand for plant-based meat has grown, consumers have made their preference for Beyond Meat clear: according to the latest data, the Beyond Burger is the #1 selling plant-based burger at grocery stores[1] and Beyond Meat is the #1 selling plant-based meat brand in the refrigerated category at grocery stores1 and across total foodservice[2].

\n

Advancing Human Health Through Rapid & Relentless Innovation

\n

The roll out of the latest Beyond Burger iteration comes as part of Beyond Meat’s rapid and relentless innovation efforts to meet consumers’ growing demand for delicious, nutritious and sustainable plant-based meat made without GMOs. Beyond Meat recently announced the establishment of the Plant-Based Diet Initiative Fund at the Stanford University School of Medicine to create a repository of cutting-edge research that will help drive and inform additional breakthrough product innovation to advance human health. In a previous clinical study that was conducted at Stanford University and published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, researchers evaluated the impact of replacing animal-based meat with Beyond Meat’s plant-based meat over an 8-week period on cholesterol levels (including LDL), heart disease risk factors including TMAO levels, and body weight, and found improvement in key health metrics when participants replaced animal-based meat with Beyond Meat’s plant-based meat.

\n

Meat with a Lighter Environmental Footprint

\n

In addition to the proven health benefits of plant-based meat, the University of Michigan’s 2018 LCA showed that the original Beyond Burger, compared to producing a ¼ lb. standard 80/20 beef burger, has 99% less impact on water scarcity, 93% less impact on land use, requires 46% less energy and generates 90% fewer greenhouse gas emissions. 

\n

Exclusive Early Access in A City Near You

\n

Fans throughout the country can get a sneak peek and be among the very first to taste the new Beyond Burger for free before it enters stores by visiting one of the exclusive mobile pop-ups on Saturday, May 1st and Sunday, May 2nd from 11am to 5pm[3], while supplies last, at:

\n\n

Those unable to visit one of the Beyond Burger pop-ups can go to their local grocery store to pick up the new Beyond Burger starting the week of May 3rd and Beyond Beef will be available in-stores later this summer. Starting in June, Beyond Meat plans to introduce the new 3.0 recipe at its U.S. foodservice partner locations. Later this year, the company plans to expand its Beyond Burger platform by introducing a second Beyond Burger patty option with half the saturated fat of 80/20 beef to offer even greater choice in nutritional options for consumers.

\n

EL SEGUNDO, Calif., August 4, 2021 -- Beyond Meat® (NASDAQ: BYND), a leader in plant-based protein, today announced another exciting milestone in its partnership with A&W Canada with the introduction of Beyond Meat Nuggets. The launch taps into the growing consumer demand for chicken from quick-service restaurants[1] as well as an increased demand for plant-based proteins[2]. Beyond Meat Nuggets offer fans a crispy, craveable plant-based chicken nugget option with all the benefits of plant-based protein and no sacrifice on taste or flavour.

\n

Perfect for dipping, dunking and sharing, Beyond Meat Nuggets offer the same universally loved experience as traditional chicken nuggets while offering 18 grams of plant-based protein per six pieces. Like all Beyond Meat products, Beyond Meat Nuggets are made from simple, plant-based ingredients with no GMOs, antibiotics, hormones, or cholesterol.

With this launch, the two brands are once again partnering to bring Canadians best-in-class plant-based options that meet consumers' evolving needs and preferences.

\n

“Beyond Meat Nuggets couldn’t come at a more perfect time,” said Deanna Jurgens, Chief Growth Officer, Beyond Meat. “We’ve doubled down on plant-based chicken this summer, just as consumer demand for chicken is skyrocketing. Following the success of our partnership on the Beyond Burger, we’re proud to be working with A&W Canada to debut Beyond Meat Nuggets in Canada.”

We think nugget lovers will be very impressed!”

\n

As part of the company’s expanding plant-based poultry platform, Beyond Meat has been making momentous strides in plant-based chicken in recent weeks, including the launch of Beyond Chicken® Tenders in the U.S. Beyond Meat Nuggets, a brand new product, are making their debut at A&W Canada locations nationwide, marking an important milestone between Beyond Meat and A&W Canada as they work to bring increased choice and more diverse protein options to menus.

You asked, we delivered! The Beyond Sausage® Sandwich is now available at more than 9,000 Dunkin’ restaurants across the U.S. as of today, November 6th.  This July, Dunkin’ introduced Beyond Breakfast SausageTM into their Manhattan restaurants and it quickly became one of their top-selling sandwiches.

The Beyond Sausage Sandwich offers the delicious taste and texture guests know and love from Dunkin’, with a 100% plant-based Beyond Meat breakfast sausage patty and a mix of spices crafted specifically for Dunkin’.

Raised in the heartland of America and built like a miniature tank, Eric Bledsoe completely breaks the mold for your typical plant-based ambassador. But as he stated in a recent interview, a newfound focus on nutrition (with a heavy concentration on plant protein vs. animal protein) is taking his game to new heights: \"I haven't lost any weight or gained any added muscle, but I feel like I'm in my best shape overall.\"

\n

When Eric Bledsoe first discovered basketball as a youngster in Birmingham, Alabama--he dedicated his life to the sport and making it to the NBA. From running sprints on the hot Alabama blacktop–to shooting baskets until he couldn't lift his hands above his head; Bledsoe was on a mission. His hard work was rewarded when the University of Kentucky, widely regarded as the strongest basketball program in the country, offered him a scholarship to do what he loved. After college, Eric's lifelong dream was realized when he was selected in the first round of the NBA Draft.

\n

Since then a new dream has been born: becoming the best player he can be and leading his team to a championship. To achieve this goal, Eric's left no stone unturned. While he continues to spend countless hours in the gym, he's also taken measures to make sure all his hard work pays off. He hired a chef who specializes in plant-based cooking once he heard about the benefits relating to muscle recovery and sustained energy. For us, what better way to showcase the Future of Protein than a walking, talking, SLAM DUNKING ambassador like one of the NBA's best? That's why we're proud to partner with Eric Bledsoe and help fuel his mission for success. With an elevated game that's powered by plants, his chances have never looked better.

\n

Q&A WITH ERIC:

\n

What got you hooked on basketball?

\n

Winning!! I'm a huge competitor, so the competition part of basketball is what has me hooked!

\n

What is your biggest accomplishment in the sport (thus far)?

\n

Getting to the NBA but not stopping there!

\n

What makes you different from other athletes?

\n

I wouldn't really say I'm different from anyone, I'm just been blessed enough to live out my dream and I work hard everyday to improve.

\n

How does nutrition factor into your training?

\n

It plays a big part. It's a very long season, so it's important that I make sure I take care of my body and make sure I'm getting the proper nutrients through out the year.

\n

What are some reasons you've moved towards a plant-based diet?

\n

I'm fortunate enough to have an amazing chef that teaches me new ways to get protein and nutrients and she has introduced me to many plant based meals.

\n

What is your favorite Beyond Meat product/recipe?

\n

A Beast Burger on the grill!

\n

Do you have a motto you live by?

\n

Hard work beats talent, when talent doesn't work hard

Model and entrepreneur, Karlie Kloss, is on a mission to find trailblazers in STEAM harnessing the power of engineering to revolutionize their industries for the better. As part of her journey, she dropped by the Beyond Meat HQ to learn how we are revolutionizing the food industry. Kloss sat down with Beyond Meat engineer, Lina Puitt, to discuss how Puitt is helping the company revolutionize the way people consume meat.

\n

\"We can make a product that looks like meat and cooks like meat,\" says Puitt. \"This is all because of science.\"

\n

\"A lot of people don't realize that there is so much science involved in the food industry... Food is science,\" concluded Kloss.

\n

While engineers work to create foods for the future, chefs like Brooke Williamson, are bringing them into their kitchen and onto their restaurant's menus.

\n

\"I think that this touches on so many reasons why red meat is not a necessary component to a menu,\" replies Williamson. \"I've seen partnerships with plant-based products and well-known chefs over the last year more than I've seen over the last 10 years.\"

________ is to Beyond Meat as presents are to Santa.

\n

If you answered Earth Day, you’d be right. Here at Beyond Meat, we’re very into the environment. It’s the whole reason we created delicious products like the Beyond Burger in the first place. Some of you may be asking, what does Beyond Meat do that’s so great for the Earth? It turns out the food choices we make have a drastic impact on climate change.

\n

If you haven't had the chance to check out the peer-reviewed Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) we lead with The University of Michigan quantifying the environmental difference between the Beyond Burger and a beef burger, today is the day. Compared to the humble cow, the Beyond Burger produces 90 percent fewer greenhouse gas emissions than traditional beef.

\n

But it gets better.

\n

\"\"

\n

 

\n

Concerned about water usage? The Beyond Burger uses 99 percent less water than beef. For perspective, the amount of water in an average swimming pool can only produce 312 beef burgers, while the Beyond Burger clocks in an impressive 60,837. What about land use? 93 percent less. One plot of land can produce 14 Beyond Burgers or just 1 beef burger. Energy? 50 percent less! You get the idea. But it’s not just burgers. In general, agricultural farming is resource intensive and we’re looking to change that by providing healthy, plant-based versions of beef, pork sausage and more.

\n

No one’s asking anyone to give up meat for life, but it’s time we all consider our individual impact on this Earth. Small steps can have a really large imprint...in a good way! For example, Americans eat about 3 burgers each week, but if they switched just one of these beef burgers to a Beyond Burger for a year, it would be like taking 12 million cars off the road for an entire year.

Perhaps the most devastating \"bump in the road\" for any professional athlete is a season-ending injury. Beyond Ambassador and two-time NBA All-Star Victor Oladipo, suffered a ruptured quad tendon in January 2019. Rather than let this set him back, he has embraced the journey to recovery.

\n

“I’m looking forward to being able to go out there and play the game I love because of what I had to go through in order to get there.”

Victor has always attributed his success to the obstacles he has had to overcome in his career. We recently spoke with him about his road to recovery, his journey to discovering more about his body and how he has embodied a Go Beyond attitude from day one.

BEYOND MEAT® EXPANDS U.S. RETAIL DISTRIBUTION WITHIN MULTIPLE NATIONAL AND REGIONAL GROCERY CHAINS

\n

Kroger, Wegmans, Sprouts, Target and more add additional Beyond Meat products to over 5,000 stores across the U.S.

\n

EL SEGUNDO, Calif., April 7, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Beyond Meat, Inc. (NASDAQ: BYND), a leader in plant-based meat, today announced several major product expansions within its roster of national and regional U.S. retail partners. As demand for plant-based meat continues to rise, this increased distribution complements the company’s expansive retail presence at approximately 28,000 retail outlets across the U.S. in which consumers have made their preference for Beyond Meat clear: Beyond Meat was the #1 selling plant-based meat brand in the refrigerated category at grocery stores[1] and across foodservice[2].

\n

The new retail availability includes:

\n

Beyond Meatballs™: Expanding to Kroger (nationwide) and Target (750 stores) in April.

\n\n

Beyond Breakfast Sausage® Links: Expanding at Kroger (nationwide) in April.

\n\n

Cookout Classic™: Expanding throughout April and May to more than 3,000 stores nationwide including Albertsons/Safeway (Mid-Atlantic, NorCal, Phoenix and Portland), FreshDirect.com, Jewel, Sprouts, Stew Leonard’s, Stop & Shop and Wegmans.

\n\n

Beyond Sausage®: Expanding to Super Target (200+ stores) in May.

\n\n

“Last year, we doubled the size of our retail portfolio by introducing six new product SKUs. In tandem, we’ve been able to work with major retailers across the country to expand our in-store presence to offer more Beyond Meat products, in more stores to advance our unwavering commitment towards making plant-based meat options that are better for people and the planet more accessible to all,” said Chuck Muth, Chief Growth Officer, Beyond Meat.

\n

The move comes as part of Beyond Meat’s effort to meet consumers’ growing demand for delicious, nutritious and sustainable, plant-based meat made without GMOs or bioengineered ingredients. In a study conducted at Stanford University and  published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, researchers evaluated the impact of replacing animal-based meat with Beyond Meat’s plant-based meats over an 8-week period on cholesterol levels (including LDL), heart disease risk factors including TMAO levels, and body weight, and found improvement in key health metrics when participants replaced animal-based meat with Beyond Meat’s plant-based meat. The results of the Stanford University study complement the results of the University of Michigan’s 2018 LCA which showed that the original Beyond Burger, compared to producing a ¼ lb. standard 80/20 beef burger, has 99% less impact on water scarcity, 93% less impact on land use, requires 46% less energy and generates 90% less greenhouse gas emissions.

When I first tried to become vegetarian (many years ago), the concept was so new to me that I didn't really know what to eat. My go-to easy \"meals\" were those tiny cardboard-flavored frozen veggie burgers. I'd eat them for dinner and I'd bring them to cookouts… they tasted terrible and everyone around me thought I was a little crazy. It wasn't long until I quit frozen veggie burgers altogether.

\n

A few weeks ago, we gave the Beyond Burger a whirl and wow(!), have plant-based burgers come a long way!

\n

First off, you'll actually find them in the meat case of the grocery store (which is a place I'm not usually accustomed to going). Second – they really do have a burger-like taste and texture even though they're completely vegan, made with no soy, gluten, or GMO ingredients – the main protein is pea protein and the pink color comes from beet juice. They're juicy and substantial, and a quick solution for late summer grilling because you literally just bring them home and put them on the grill. Easy as that.

\n

To go with our burgers, I made a simple guacamole topping:

\n

\"Guacamole\"Guacamole

\n

A tip for grilling the Beyond Burger – they're easiest to handle if you keep them chilled in the fridge until the moment you're ready to throw them on the grill.

\n

Because every good burger meal needs some fries, we made some spicy grilled sweet potato wedges to go on the side. The trick is to parboil the sweet potatoes before slicing and grilling. This way, the wedges become fully cooked as the outside chars. After they come off the grill, I sprinkled them with chili powder, smoked paprika, and a little cayenne.

\n

\"Guacamole

\n

At 20 grams of plant protein per patty, this was really a substantial (and fun!) grilling meal. Click here to find The Beyond Burger at a grocery store near you.

Since elementary school, Maggie Vessey's been running around. She experienced that feeling of effortless freedom, fluidity, and speed at an early age and has been \"in the zone\" ever since. Vessey sped through college running for Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo and onto Team USA, but in the world of competitive running, every second counts. So Maggie turned to Plant-Protein for an edge.

\n

She was first introduced to Beyond Meat as a guest at the Los Angeles Sports Spectacular, \"I sampled their products and really really loved them, it made it just a really natural fit for me...I've become more aware about health concerns that are associated with eating a lot of meat, as well as issues about animal welfare and the effect mass meat consumption has on the environment on a global level.\"

Her fashion forward outfits (designed by Maggie herself) are a seamless blend of high performance and artistry in-motion. \"I want to inspire young girls to know that you don't have to sacrifice being feminine to perform at the top level and be taken seriously.\" As an ambassador for The Future of Protein and future runners everywhere, we'll certainly be rooting for Maggie as she chases her Olympic dream next summer in Rio.

"}],"article_questions_title":"Q&A WITH MAGGIE:","article_questions_accordion":[{"question":"What got you hooked on running?","answer":"

n elementary school I experienced while running what is referred to as being \"in the zone.\" I understand that feeling is rare and I've been captivated by running ever since. I felt completely free and in the moment. When I ran it felt effortless and beautiful.

"},{"question":"What is your biggest accomplishment in the sport (thus far)?","answer":"

Being ranked #5 in the world. It is a testament of what I can achieve when I combine my innate talent with A LOT of focus and smart, hard work. I am excited and look forward to going even faster this next season.

"},{"question":"What makes you different from other athletes?","answer":"

I began designing my own race wear when I parted with my apparel sponsor in 2013. I'm passionate about merging performance with style and celebrating the athletic form as art. It's a form of self expression to show that a woman can be very strong and also look graceful and elegant if she wants to. I want to show that a woman doesn't have to sacrifice femininity to perform at the highest levels and be taken seriously.

"},{"question":"How does nutrition factor into your training?","answer":"

I am extremely mindful of what I fuel my body with. I eat organic, and am now introducing pure plant protein into my diet. Eating healthy makes me feel strong and energetic. As a result I wake up ready to train hard with no lingering after effects of a poor diet.

"},{"question":"What are some reasons you've moved towards a plant-based diet?","answer":"

As an athlete I am often reminded of the importance of protein in my diet. To have a company like Beyond Meat, who in my opinion have done a wonderful job of creating a plant based protein with the nutrition, taste and texture of meat, is an incredible resource for me. I have also become more aware of the health concerns associated with eating a lot of meat, as well as issues concerning animal welfare and the effect mass meat consumption has on the environment on a global level.

"},{"question":"What is your favorite Beyond Meat product?","answer":"

I love the grilled chicken strips!

Know thyself

The partnership between Beyond Meat and Maya Moore began over a love for food. From sweet potato pancakes in the morning, to finishing the day off with a big bowl of quinoa pasta topped with Beyond Beef Meatballs or Chicken Tenders; eating right and eating well is a major part of Maya's life.

\n

In addition to winning in the kitchen, she's pretty adept at winning on the court. In her four-year career at the University of Connecticut, she was an AP All American each year, won 2 national titles, and lost a total of 4 GAMES! After entering the professional ranks, her winning hasn't tapered off either: 4 time All-Star, 2 time WNBA Champion, 2014 WNBA MVP, and member on Team USA's 2012 Gold Medal team.

\n

When she's not cutting down nets she's putting them up with her series of kids camps held around the country. Along with talking finer points of the game, Maya loves to school her campers on the importance of proper nutrition. Like most young players, crushing a bag of M&M's in between tournament games was common practice. While the sugar rush provided a quick burst of energy, by 2nd half you've hit the wall. It wasn't until college that Maya began to make the transition to a cleaner diet, which is when she noticed her game start to elevate as well. She's been going beyond ever since.

April Ross might come off as a laid back girl from SoCal, but put her on the the sand and she's anything but. From an early age, April got hooked on the contrast between a calm California coast and the fierce competition of beach volleyball. Controlling your destiny one point, one match, one title at a time (a record setting 53 MPH serve doesn't hurt either).

\n

Bringing the same voracity to diet and proper nutrition as she does the sport, made her an ideal ambassador for Beyond Meat and the Future of Protein: \"Nutrition is huge. I stress my body so much that if I don't fuel it properly it won't perform like I want it to. I think about everything I eat, whether it will hurt or help me achieve my goals, give me energy, help me recover, or simply whether it's healthy or not. Training starts and ends, but nutrition is 24/7/365.\"

Now in her 10th professional season, April has become one of the most decorated players in Women's AVP history. But after taking silver in the 2012 Olympics, Ross is aiming even higher in Rio 2016.

Our products deliver OMGs not GMOs!

\n

We're beyond excited to announce that after a rigorous 1-year review process, we've officially secured Non-GMO verification from The Non-GMO Project (North America's only third-party verification for non-GMO food and products).

\n

From day one, we've dedicated ourselves to recreating meat from plants with simple, non-GMO ingredients.

\n

\"We feel a deep commitment to uphold our customer's trust and provide them with clean, plant-based proteins without the ingredients we know they are increasingly uncomfortable with, including GMOs,\" said our founder and CEO, Ethan Brown.

\n

This news comes on the heels of our opening of a sprawling new innovation campus, dubbed The Manhattan Beach Project, where over 50 scientists and engineers are cracking the code on meat and recreating it directly from plants. Dariush Ajami, Beyond Meat's VP of R&D explains, \"Though not easy, we believe it is entirely possible to replicate the exact taste, texture, and appearance of meat using simple, non-GMO ingredients. To deliver on the hallmark taste, texture and appearance of a beef burger, we employee simple plant-based ingredients in fresh ways beets provide the meaty red hue, peas provide the protein, and coconut oil and potato starch ensure mouthwatering juiciness and chew.\"

\n

All of our US-based products—including our game-changing #BeyondBurger and #BeyondSausage—are now Non-GMO Project Certified. Make sure to look for the iconic butterfly seal to appear on our in-store packaging in the coming weeks and months!

For those who believe that championships are built in the offseason, in weight rooms, on dinner plates--we couldn't agree more. For those who believe those plates need to be filled with animal protein to build strong muscles and fuel that championship drive--we beg to differ. Athletes have always been at the cutting edge of training, nutrition, and discipline. With so many athletes adopting a lean, clean, plant-based diet to gain an edge, we formed partnerships to further their progression and bring plant-protein to the spotlight. Just take a look at their performance over the past year:

Despite summer coming to a close, we are still bringing the heat with exciting new updates. Get ready everyone because The Beyond Burger is about to take over one of the nation's most iconic family-friendly restaurants, TGI Fridays!

\n

With more than 470 restaurants nationwide, this will mark the largest restaurant brand to partner with us yet! Ending Oct. 17th, TGI Fridays carried a slightly larger 6 oz Beyond Burger for heartier appetites as part of their Burger Bar menu at six TGI Friday locations in the greater Boston area:

\n
    \n
  1. N Attleboro, MA
    2. \n
  2. N Dartmouth, MA
    3. \n
  3. Mansfield, MA

  4. Warwick, RI
    5. \n
  5. Seekonk, MA
    6. \n
  6. Taunton, MA
    7. \n
\n

In addition to this new menu item, TGI Fridays gave their guests the option to substitute The Beyond Burger patty for any of their existing burger offerings as a means to appeal to more health-conscious eaters.

\n

\"Fridays is constantly innovating to appeal to an array of tastes and lifestyles, which includes offering more options for vegetarians and meat-lovers alike,\" said Stephanie Perdue, TGI Fridays chief marketing officer. \"We tested many concepts and The Beyond Burger was far and away the favorite plant-based burger among both our guests and chefs, making it the ideal addition to our popular Burger Bar.\"

\n

TGI Friday's founding premise is to bring people together to socialize and celebrate the freeing and liberating spirit of \"Friday\" and we are thrilled that they see The Beyond Burger as a way to help achieve this. The initial launch was only at those six locations, with the opportunity to expand to all TGI Fridays locations in early 2018.

\n

\"From the onset, the Beyond Burger has been about delivering delicious, satiating, center of the plate protein for the entire family to enjoy. I'm elated to see this vision come to fruition with TGI Fridays,\" said Ethan Brown, Beyond Meat CEO.

For the first time in retailer history, a plant-based meat--The Beyond Burger--is now being sold side-by-side with its animal-protein equivalent in the supermarket meat department. The Beyond Burger™ is the world's first plant-based burger that looks, sizzles, and tastes like a fresh beef burger. With 20 grams of protein, it has all the juicy, meaty deliciousness of a traditional burger, but comes with the health, environmental, and animal welfare upsides of a plant-based meal.

Beyond Burger, A New Breed of Burger Video

\n

We began shipping the Beyond Burger a few weeks ago as part of a limited-store soft launch. We've been amazed, grateful, and humbled by its reception. Our initial stock of product sold out in an hour and a flood of media interest poured in. A number of questions from fans and critics alike also came up. Below we try to address some of those questions, share the thinking behind our #FutureOfProtein vision, and explain why we see the Beyond Burger as an opening bid towards transforming the meat case into the the protein case.

"}],"article_questions_title":"FAQs","article_questions_accordion":[{"question":"How is The Beyond Burger different than The Beast?","answer":"

The Beyond Burger™ is a ready-to-cook \"raw\" patty that looks, cooks, and tastes like a fresh beef burger, and it will be sold in the meat section of the grocery store. The Beast is a pre-cooked frozen patty shelved with other frozen items. Our goal in creating The Beyond Burger™ was to provide the full 360° mouth-watering, juicy, and delicious experience of beef but without so many of the health, environmental, and animal welfare downsides of traditional animal-based meat. On the other hand, we developed The Beast with nutrient density in mind, working with Brendan Brazier, a rockstar plant-based triathlete to help create it. The Beast has 23G of protein and a slew of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and omegas to help support performance and recovery for especially active folks.

"},{"question":"Why make a burger with plants that aims to replicate beef?","answer":"

Our position has always been that we love meat, we just don't like the bad stuff related to health, sustainability, and animal welfare that comes with traditional animal-based meat. The essence of our Future of Protein vision is to create plant-based meats that let people enjoy--and feel good about eating--the traditional dishes they love. This is why we created The Beyond Burger.

"},{"question":"Why shelve The Beyond Burger in (just) the meat department? Can't it be in both?","answer":"

The reason we want to place The Beyond Burger in, at a minimum, the meat section of the store is to to attract carnivores to the plant-based category. In the same way it made sense for retailers to shelve almond and soy milk alongside traditional milk, retailers are beginning to see it makes sense for meat-lovers to be able to purchase plant-based meats where they would normally go looking for center-of-the-plate proteins. It may take a while, but we hope that over time the \"Meat Section\" of the store will evolve into the \"Protein Section.\"

"},{"question":"When and where can I get a Beyond Burger?","answer":"

We're working as fast as we can to expand availability of The Beyond Burger over the summer and into the fall. We'll share updates through our newsletter. In the meantime, we can't thank you enough for your support and understanding as we work hard to make The Beyond Burger broadly available.

Subway Canada and Martha Stewart kick off the new decade by bringing Beyond Meatball™ subs all across Canada at participating locations!

The Beyond Meatball sub features Subway Canada’s iconic marinara sauce, sprinkled with grated parmesan, topped with shredded mozzarella and Monterey Jack cheese and perfectly toasted for an unbelievably tasty plant-based protein option. 

\n

The plant-based Beyond Meatball also offers as much mouth-watering flavour as the traditional Subway meatball, and is packed with protein, 22 grams per six-inch sub! 

\n

To further grow excitement around the launch, Beyond Meat and Subway Canada also partnered with Martha Stewart (the ultimate great-taste expert!) for a fun video where Martha shares her Beyond Meatball plant care tips set in a world where plant-based meatballs truly do grow on trees. Plant. Based. Goals. 

\n

From potting to harvesting, Martha knows that raising a Beyond Meatball plant takes a lot of tender loving care. Follow along as she shares her simple eight-week “seed-to-sandwich” guide for budding Beyond Meatball gardeners:

\n

While we all know meatballs don’t really grow on trees, we do know that you can now get delicious plant-based Beyond Meatballs at participating Subway Canada restaurants nationwide.

\n

Guests can enjoy the new plant-based meatball in the Beyond Meatball™ Marinara Sub or create their own delicious creation with a choice of bread, veggies and sauces.

LIZA KOSHY TEAMS UP WITH BEYOND MEAT® AND EVERFI TO INVITE STUDENTS NATIONWIDE TO THINK AND LIVE MORE SUSTAINABLY

\n

Beyond Meat, EVERFI and Liza Koshy challenge students to incorporate sustainable practices into their schools for the opportunity to win a lunchroom makeover

\n

EL SEGUNDO, Calif., March 2, 2021 – Beyond Meat, Inc. (NASDAQ: BYND), a leader in plant-based meat, in collaboration with digital education innovator EVERFI and actress, producer and creator, Liza Koshy, are challenging middle and elementary school students to apply the knowledge they have acquired through a new digital sustainability course, for the chance to win a sustainable lunchroom makeover and see their vision come to life. With today’s launch of the Beyond Lunch Sustainability Challenge, teachers, in collaboration with their students, can submit their innovative, out-of-the-box ideas for how they would make their school’s lunchrooms more sustainable. One lucky grand prize winner will be awarded up to $10,000 to help bring their ideas to life at their school.

\n

The Beyond Lunch Sustainability Challenge is an extension of Beyond Meat and EVERFI’s free course, Sustainability Foundations: Plants, Animals and Our World, which was created last fall and designed for fifth through eighth grade students in an effort to expand access to sustainability education for all students. The science-based course is grounded in real-world examples and covers topics on global resource constraints, the importance of biodiversity, climate change and how to innovate for a healthy life. Through this course, Beyond Meat aims to empower youth to understand that their choices, no matter how small, can make a big difference.

\n

“At Beyond Meat, we believe that there is a better way to feed our future and that all students should have access to education on important topics that impact their lives, such as the role of nutrition and food in their health and that of their families, the earth’s climate, and broader sustainability,” said Ethan Brown, Beyond Meat Founder & CEO. “Through our work with EVERFI, we are inspiring students to come up with designs and plans to reimagine their lunchrooms around health and sustainability outcomes and showing them how their actions can improve their health and the health of the planet.”

\n

“Today’s youth have the power to change tomorrow’s world for the better by making big and small personal choices,” said Tom Davidson, EVERFI Founder & CEO. “It’s important that we come together to empower students with education on plant-based innovations for human and planetary health. We are delighted to work with Beyond Meat, a forward thinking company with a climate-driven mission, on this sustainability course and the Challenge.”

\n

“I’m excited to partner with Beyond Meat and EVERFI on an initiative that speaks directly to today’s youth and challenges them to incorporate sustainable practices into their daily lives,” said Beyond Meat ambassador, Liza Koshy. “My mother always taught me to leave places better than you found them and since I was a kid, I’ve felt a responsibility to help better the planet through my everyday actions. Little choices that you make day-to-day, such as going plant-based for lunch, a snack or a whole day can make a huge difference over time. That is why I am proud to work with Beyond Meat and EVERFI to inspire and reward students for thinking more sustainably.”

\n

Submissions for the Beyond Lunch Sustainability Challenge are now open at https://beyondlunchchallenge.com/ until April 13, 2021 with the winner to be announced on or around June 1, 2021.

\n

Teachers who are interested in sharing the course with their students can register for an

\n

account on the EVERFI Platform and select “Sustainability Foundations: Plants, Animals, and Our World.” Students who are interested in learning more about the environmental and nutritional benefits of Beyond Meat’s plant-based meats can follow @BeyondMeat on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, @BeyondMeatOfficial on TikTok and sign up for the Beyond Meat newsletter.

The Beyond Burger's Sizzling Streak Continues

\n

The Beyond Burger is already in more than 650 select Kroger-owned stores across 14 states. It is now available in the meat case within seven of Kroger's key banners: Fred Meyer, King Soopers, Kroger, Ralphs, Quality Food Centers, Baker's and Dillions!

\n

The Beyond Burger is now available in MORE THAN 3,200 grocery stores nationwide, keeping its beefy pursuit to bring more plant-based protein to the masses alive and well!

\n

We couldn't be happier to partner with the team at Kroger. Having the country's largest grocery chain on-board to place the Beyond Burger in their meat aisle is an important step in broadening the way people think about, and define, meat. The meat section is where a majority of shoppers are accustomed to shopping for protein, and we're BEYOND grateful to be there!

This November we marked an important milestone in making #plantbased meat more accessible globally. We're BEYOND excited to bring The Beyond Burger to the UK's largest retailer, Tesco!

\n

\"We see the growing global demand for delicious, plant-based proteins and are excited to serve that demand in the UK with the revolutionary Beyond Burger,\" said Seth Goldman, our Executive Chair. \"Bringing our innovative approach to merchandising to the UK, Tesco will sell The Beyond Burger in the chilled meat aisle alongside animal-based proteins. This strategy has proven extremely successful in the US, and we are optimistic we'll see a similar positive reaction in the UK.\"

\n

Our friends across the pond have been waiting patiently as we've worked hard to make this a reality and we can't wait for them to taste The Future of Protein.

\n

According to the team at Tesco: \"The Beyond Burger has been one of the most eagerly anticipated food launches of the year and we believe that this fantastic tasting patty will be a real game changer for anyone considering going vegan or trying a flexitarian diet. The most common reaction from those that have tried it is that they cannot believe it is made from plants.\"

\n

In addition to being in retail, The Beyond Burger is also on menus at all Honest Burgers and All Bar One locations in the UK. More exciting updates to come, but in the meantime check out all the fun we had at the UK launch earlier this year below!

Replacing the elk and wild boar options on the menu, The Beyond Burger joins the Bareburger menu nationwide, offering consumers even more diverse protein options.

\n

We're thrilled that Bareburger joins a growing list of national burger-centric restaurants, including BurgerFi and TGI Fridays, carrying The Beyond Burger.

\n

Adding The Beyond Burger to Bareburger's menu answers the rising consumer demand for healthier, plant-based menu options that deliver on taste and satisfaction. Enabling more consumers to Eat What You Love™, our partnership couples the health and environmental benefits of plant-based foods with Bareburger's commitment to serving sustainable and delicious food options,\" said Ethan Brown, Founder and CEO of Beyond Meat.

\n

The Beyond Burger isn't the only plant-based meat on the menu, but it's the only one that contains no gluten, soy or GMOs and to boot, has less saturated fat and calories!

\n

Starting today, their customers can enjoy a mouthwatering burger build, bursting with flavor that includes a charbroiled Beyond Burger patty, vegan American cheese, sweet pickles, red onion, green leaf lettuce and special sauce on a brioche bun. It can easily be modified for a vegan-friendly option, just ask for no special sauce and the multigrain bun or build your own custom Beyond Burger creation under the \"Be My Burger\" section of the menu.

2018 you're already looking pretty spectacularly plant-based! We are so excited to officially announce that TGI Fridays has beefed up all 469 of their locations' menus with The Beyond Burger. They initially tested The Beyond Burger at a handful of locations this past October, and after an extremely successful test, it's becoming the fastest test-to-table menu offering in the brand's history.

\n

Consumer adoption of plant-based products are quickening month over month (even being hailed as a top food trend of 2018!), and we could not be more pleased that an iconic global restaurant brand, TGI Fridays, is adding The Beyond Burger to their menu!

\n

Starting today, The Beyond Burger will be featured on the TGI Fridays menu as The Beyond Meat Burger and features a 6-oz. patty seasoned, grilled and topped with white cheddar, lettuce, tomato, red onion, pickles and Fridays sauce to appeal to heartier appetites. The Beyond Burger patty can be substituted for any existing builds from the TGI Fridays Burger Bar menu, served on the Challah Bun or \"Green Style\" on crispy green lettuce leaves without cheese or Fridays sauce for a vegan-friendly option.

\n

Can you tell the difference? The Beyond Meat Burger, shown above with the Really Good Cheeseburger, looks and satisfies just like a traditional beef burger.

\"Appealing to a more food-forward consumer is a key priority for Fridays in 2018,\" said David Spirito, Executive Culinary Director, TGI Fridays. \"In answering guests demand for nutritional menu items that fit their lifestyle needs, we saw an opportunity to introduce newly expanded options like plant-based protein. Beyond Meat is leading the way in creating a juicy and delicious product that gives guests the sensory experience of a traditional burger without sacrificing taste.\"

DC is the second location where we're selling The Beyond Burger, following its introduction in Boulder in May. Many expected this new Breed of Burger to do well in Boulder, a place that is not new to embracing plant-based products. But to see The Beyond Burger doing so well in DC, a bustling metropolis with diverse consumer tastes is a real thrill, as it's indicative of its broad appeal.

\n

Like the Boulder location, The Beyond Burger is shelved in the meat department, where it's captivating unsuspecting carnivores. But we're happy to report that the DC store is also stocking The Beyond Burger in the meat-alternatives aisle, where plant-based devotees are more likely to find it.

\n

We're working hard to expand distribution of The Beyond Burger further. Our goal is to be broadly available in the September – October time frame. You can click here to sign up for our newsletter for exclusives updates, contests and more!

The Economist Is Taking their \"Fast Forward Food\" Truck from NYC to D.C.

\n

This past summer, The Beyond Burger joined The Economist's newest extension of their global #FeedingTheFuture campaign—a \"Fast Forward Food\" truck in NYC. It was so successful that they are taking it to the streets of the nation's capital, D.C! The Feeding the Future campaign aims to educate people as they discover radical alternatives for a sustainable future of food.

\n

How exactly do they do this?

\n

The Economist has created a series of experiential activations, which seek to challenge consumers to stop and think about the world around them. Past initiatives, such as \"Grounds for Change,\" sought to promote the reduction of food waste by highlighting little known uses for coffee grounds, like creating biodiesel fuel.

\n

With our partnership, The Economist aims to highlight the alternative protein market and encourage people to step out of their comfort zone and consider the realities of providing protein for a swelling global population.

\n

When will this take place?

\n

Through November 12th, an Economist-branded food truck will be stationed at key locations around Washington D.C. offering free samples of The Beyond Burger for consumers to try. The Beyond Burger, which offers 20g of plant-based protein, no cholesterol and about half the saturated fat of a traditional hamburger, is changing how consumers think about the future of protein. Along with a free tasty burger, the pop-up will offer some 'food for thought' on the issues surrounding livestock agriculture.

We couldn’t be more excited to team up with such an iconic brand. Dunkin' fuels millions of people across the country making stops at Dunkin’ for coffee or a breakfast sandwich each and every day. Making them our first U.S. partner to feature Beyond Breakfast Sausage represents not only an exciting moment for both of our companies, but a big step in making plant-based meat accessible and easy to enjoy, even while on-the-go.

\n

According to David Hoffmann, Dunkin’ Brands Chief Executive Officer and President, Dunkin’ U.S., “Beyond Meat has earned the national spotlight for its innovative products and for creating incredible awareness and excitement for the benefits of plant-based meat. Dunkin’ has always stood apart for offering new and exciting choices to meet the needs of our on-the-go guests, and we are proud to collaborate with this industry leader to become the first U.S. restaurant chain to serve a Beyond Breakfast Sausage option.”

\n

The Beyond Sausage Breakfast Sandwich offers the delicious taste and texture millions of Dunkin’ breakfast sandwich customers enjoy and expect with our juicy, savory Beyond Breakfast Sausage patty - made with 100% plant-based ingredients and a mix of spices crafted especially for Dunkin’. This new mouth-watering sandwich is served on an English Muffin with egg and American cheese. Guests can order the sandwich with no egg or cheese for a vegan-friendly breakfast sandwich option.**

\n

In addition to offering a patty with 10 grams of plant-based protein, the new sandwich helps Dunkin’ deliver the better-for-the-planet environmental benefits of plant-based protein. Sustainability is a key part of Dunkin’s growth, and a critical part of their journey is taking bigger, bolder action to be more sustainable in all the ways they operate.

Tia Blanco cares a lot... She cares about winning (won the 2015 ISA Gold Medal). She cares about her body (trains daily, eats mindfully). She cares about the planet (takes a stand on important issues). So we couldn't have been more excited when Tia reached out to us saying how much she loved our Beyond Chicken Strips. With her success in surfing and passion for an active, healthy lifestyle, we couldn't have picked a more ideal ambassador. And so Tia joined the growing ranks of elite athletes helping to communicate--by example--the benefits of plant-based protein.

\n

Surfing since the age of 3, Tia has been paddling almost as long she's been walking! But as surfing went from being a hobby to a possible career, she recognized the need to gain an edge. Tia began experimenting with a plant-based diet 3 years ago and has never looked back since. The benefits from sustained energy and lack of fatigue time have translated into her becoming one of the most accomplished surfers for her age: \"My body just responds very well to the [plant-based] diet. I feel lively, strong, and happy!\" In the coming year Tia will be one of the top candidates in qualifying for the World Surfing League Champions Tour.

\n

In addition to being one of the most promising young surfers in the world, she's a very talented cook. You won't find her eating the same salad every day, her plate is always full of fresh and creative recipes inspired by all the excellent places she's been able to visit through surfing.

Being healthy in general is just really important to me, regardless of competing in surfing. I think a big part of self love is treating your body right and making sure you get proper nutrition. Before you can love others, you must first learn to love yourself!

"},{"question":"What differences have you noticed (if any) on a more plant-based diet?","answer":"

My body just responds very well to the diet. I feel lively, strong, and happy!

"},{"question":"What is your favorite Beyond Meat product/recipe?","answer":"

The chicken strips! They are so tasty on my salads! They are also low in fat and high in protein.

"},{"question":"Do you have a motto you live by?","answer":"

I guess I have many mottos I live by haha... One of them is being in present... ALWAYS. Nothing is forever and it is very easy to get caught up in worrying about the past and future. I say embrace the very moment you have because you will never have that EVER moment again!

Attention Walmart shoppers: more Beyond Meat products are hitting shelves starting this week! Walmart will be adding Beyond Sausage Hot Italian to the fresh meat aisle at more than 400 stores as well as expanding the frozen Cookout Classic value-pack to approximately 500 stores.

\n

Beyond Sausage Hot Italian is a plant-based sausage designed to look, sizzle, and satisfy like pork. Compared to traditional pork sausage, Beyond Sausage offers more protein and iron with less total and saturated fat and no cholesterol, antibiotics or hormones. 

\n

Cookout Classic provides everything that customers love about the juicy, meaty taste and texture of the Beyond Burger with the added convenience of being sold frozen in a value-pack designed to feed the whole family. After last summer’s successful limited-edition launch of Cookout Classic, Beyond Meat is reintroducing the item as a new permanent product.

\n

This expansion furthers our goal of making simple, plant-based meat products made without GMOs or bioengineered ingredients more accessible to all. In addition to Beyond Sausage Hot Italian and Cookout Classic, you can find the Beyond Burger, Beyond Sausage Brat Original, and Beyond Breakfast Sausage patties at Walmart.

Welcome to the #FutureOfProtein Yale

\n

We're thrilled to announce that starting today, the Beyond Burger will be available at Yale University's 13 on-campus dining halls. The 315-year-old Ivy League institution is widely recognized as a thought leader in hospitality and dining innovation, so for it to be the first-ever university to carry our burger is an exciting day!

\n

As you can see from their on-campus pop up event, Yale students are already loving the Beyond Burger. In our CEO's (Ethan Brown) words, \"It's energizing to be among a generation so accustomed to questioning fixed assumptions, including, in our case, that meat must come from animals. It's particularly fun to do the launch in New Haven, the home of the self-proclaimed first restaurant in America to serve the original hamburger.\"

\n

According to a 2017 Protein Alternatives Report from Mintel, Millennials are embracing meat alternatives in restaurants at a much higher rate than older generations, with 36% doing so, versus 14% of Baby Boomers. In addition, 64% of Millennials have had meatless burgers, versus 28% of Boomers.

\n

\"With eating trends taking a turn toward plant-based alternatives, we found it prudent to meet our students' desires with the addition of The Beyond Burger to our on-campus menus,\" said Adam Millman, Senior Director of Yale Hospitality, in New Haven, Conn. \"Providing this option reflects an understanding of the up-and-coming generation's evolving dietary preferences in which animal based protein, while important, plays a less prominent role.\"

\n

The opportunity to educate and introduce more college students to the Beyond Burger is so exciting for Beyond Meat and we look forward to seeing more students enjoy Yale's newest on-campus dining option. Welcome to the #FutureOfProtein Yale!

Burger lovers of New York City rejoice! Your favorite local, organic burger joint, Bareburger, is the latest restaurant to feature The Beyond Burger on the menu at their New York City locations.

\n

Bareburger, which prides itself in offering a diverse mix of high-quality proteins, decided to add The Beyond Burger to their meat-centric menu timed to the removal of their elk and wild boar patties. In addition to being featured alongside a variety of animal-based patties, The Beyond Burger will also be featured amongst several plant-based options including a black bean burger, quinoa patty and the Impossible Burger, officially making Bareburger the first restaurant to offer both The Beyond Burger and the Impossible Burger.

\n

According to Bareburger, it was important to them that their guests have a menu with choices. Since they offer a variety of animal-based meat options, why not offer their customers a variety of plant-based options as well? Can't argue with that! Unlike some of the other options on the menu, The Beyond Burger patty is not only plant-based, but soy-free, gluten-free and GMO-free, offering even more choices for consumers!

\n

The Beyond Burger at Bareburger is served on a brioche bun with vegan American cheese, sweet pickles, red onion, green leaf lettuce, and special sauce. It can easily be modified for a vegan-friendly option under their \"Be My Burger\" custom burger section, just ask for no special sauce and the multigrain bun instead.

\n

\"\"

\n

Don't live in NYC? Don't fret! By the end of February, all 39 Bareburger locations will offer the Beyond Burger on their menus. Be sure to visit one of the 12 locations below and share your drool-worthy Beyond Burger pic on social, tagging @BeyondMeat, @Bareburger and #BeyondBurger for a chance to be featured :)

Spain- it’s time to spice up your summer and “meat” the Beyond Burger!  

\n

In our pursuit to make the #futureofprotein available to as many people worldwide as we can,  we partnered with one of the largest supermarket chain in Spain, El Corte Ingles. The Beyond Burger is now available at 45 El Corte Ingles locations in some of Spain's major cities. Including but not limited to, Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Sevilla, Mallorca, Malaga, Leon and beyond. The Beyond Burger is also available at all 10 Romero Sanchez stores in Madrid. 

\n

Bottom line: This. Is. Big.

\n

We’re beyond inspired by Spain’s passion for quality food and mealtime traditions. That’s why we’re excited to provide locals with the opportunity to seamlessly swap animal protein for plant protein in their favorite, traditional dishes: creating sustainable options without sacrificing flavor or tradition.

BEYOND BURGER NOW AVAILABLE IN MEAT CAPITAL OF THE WORLD, HONG KONG.

\n

We are very excited to announce the first international sale of The Beyond Burger at Hong Kong’s Green Common — a plant-based green living concept store aimed at enabling healthy and sustainable living.

\n

Hong Kong, surprisingly, has the highest meat consumption per capita in the world. We are hopeful that by partnering with Green Common to supply the Hong Kong market with delicious plant-based protein, we can spread Beyond Meat’s Future of Protein vision to this dynamic and influential economy.

\n

“I am proud and ecstatic that Hong Kong and Green Common will be the first place outside of the U.S. to carry The Beyond Burger,” said Green Monday’s David Yeung. CEO and co-founder. “The launch of The Beyond Burger, along with all Beyond Meat products, not only will pleasantly surprise consumers with amazing taste and nutrition profile, but will also mark the official beginning of the food, health and sustainability revolution in Asia. I wouldn’t compare The Beyond Burger with other plant or meat burgers; I would compare it to the iPhone or Tesla, because it is, simply, a game-changer.”

\n

Green Monday, a social enterprise group, opened the world’s first plant-based green living concept store Green Common to enable healthy and sustainable living. It incorporates a plant-based supermarket, bistro, and cooking studio called Kind Kitchen all under one roof.

\n

Starting April 7, the Beyond Burger will be served at the in-store bistro of Green Common’s Habour City and Landmark locations, and beginning April 21, retail packs of The Beyond Burger will be sold in the protein aisle of Green Common supermarkets. Following the Green Common launch, The Beyond Burger will also be available in May at The Butcher’s Club, a popular burger restaurant in Hong Kong that is centered around offering high quality dry-aged beef. Again, another great way to spread our Future of Protein vision.

\n

“We’ve resisted offering the Beyond Burger internationally as we remain in the early stages of distribution here in the United States” said Ethan Brown, CEO of Beyond Meat “however, reflecting recent increases in capacity, this special opportunity in Hong Kong, and our long-standing relationship with David, we are thrilled to announce this partnership. It has been gratifying to see consumers embrace The Beyond Burger in the United States, and we hope with this first step into Asia, we can bring greater awareness of the shifting protein paradigm to this vitally important economy.”

\n

While the Beyond Burger is now international, we are still focused on our US launch. For exciting distribution updates and more, please sign up for our newsletter here and make sure to check our updated store-list here!

BEYOND MEAT® EXPANDS PRESENCE AT WALMART WITH LAUNCH OF BEYOND MEATBALLS™ AND SUMMER GRILLING POP-UPS FEATURING THE NEW BEYOND BURGER®

\n

Throughout May and June, shoppers can get a free taste of the Newest Beyond Burger at parking lot pop-ups at select Walmart locations across SoCal and Dallas

\n

EL SEGUNDO, Calif., May 12, 2021 -- Beyond Meat, Inc. (NASDAQ: BYND), a leader in plant-based meat, today announced its second expansion of product offerings this year at Walmart. This June, Beyond Meatballs™ will be available for the first time at 2,100 Walmart stores in which Beyond Meat products are already sold across the country. This rollout is the second major Beyond Meat expansion at Walmart in 2021, following the launch of Beyond Sausage® Hot Italian and Cookout Classic™ in stores earlier this year.

\n

As demand for plant-based meat options continues to grow, Beyond Meat has increased retail momentum across the U.S., Europe, Australia and other global markets in an effort to increase worldwide accessibility to delicious plant-based meat products made without GMOs. As the key summer grilling season kicks off, consumers have continued to make their preference for Beyond Meat products clear: according to the latest SPINS and NPD data, Beyond Meat is the #1 selling plant-based meat brand in the refrigerated category at U.S. grocery stores[1] and across U.S. total foodservice[2].

\n

“At Beyond Meat, we are proud to offer a growing portfolio of plant-based meat products that enables us to expand our retail presence. The addition of Beyond Meatballs to Walmart shelves allows us to make available more of our delicious, nutritious and sustainable plant-based options,” said Chuck Muth, Chief Growth Officer, Beyond Meat.

\n

Beyond Meatballs were first introduced at retailers in September 2020. Conveniently pre-seasoned with a signature blend of Italian spices, pre-rolled and ready to cook, Beyond Meatballs are designed to deliver the authentic Italian meatball experience but have 30% less saturated fat and sodium than a leading brand of animal-based Italian-style meatballs.

\n

Summer Grilling Pop-ups Featuring the New Beyond Burger®

\n

Starting today, Walmart shoppers across SoCal and Dallas, can look for the Beyond Meat food truck which will be popping up in the parking lot of neighborhood stores with free samples of Beyond Meat products, including Beyond Sausage and the newest iteration of the iconic Beyond Burger.

\n\n

In fact, extensive testing showed that consumers scored the new Beyond Burger on par with 80/20 ground beef burgers in terms of likeability, making it this summer’s must have grilling essential that will appeal to carnivores, flexitarians and veggie-lovers alike. To find out where the food truck will be popping up next, visit the Beyond Meat blog.

\n

EL SEGUNDO, CA February 25, 2021 --- Beyond Meat, Inc. (NASDAQ: BYND) today announced the establishment of a three-year global strategic agreement with McDonald’s Corporation. As part of the agreement, Beyond Meat® will be McDonald’s preferred supplier for the patty in the McPlant® , a new plant-based burger being tested in select McDonald’s markets globally. In addition, Beyond Meat and McDonald’s will explore co-developing other plant-based menu items – like plant-based options for chicken, pork and egg – as part of McDonald’s broader McPlant platform.

\n

The agreement will bring together McDonald’s iconic global brand with Beyond Meat's leading expertise in plant-based protein development to create and market innovative new plant-based menu offerings.

\n

“Our new McPlant platform is all about giving customers more choices when they visit McDonald’s,” said Francesca DeBiase, McDonald’s Executive Vice President and Chief Supply Chain Officer. “We’re excited to work with Beyond Meat to drive innovation in this space, and entering into this strategic agreement is an important step on our journey to bring delicious, high quality, plant-based menu items to our customers.”

\n

“We are proud to enter into this strategic global agreement with McDonald’s, an exciting milestone for Beyond Meat, and look forward to serving McDonald's as they bring expanded choice to menus globally,” said Ethan Brown, Beyond Meat Founder & CEO. “We will combine the power of Beyond Meat’s rapid and relentless approach to innovation with the strength of McDonald’s global brand to introduce craveable, new plant-based menu items that consumers will love.”

Want to hear an Australian joke?

\n

When is a bear not a bear? If he doesn't have the right koalifications.

\n

Do you know what’s not a joke? The Beyond Burger is now in Queensland! From the very beginning, our Australian friends have been some of our biggest supporters. After seeing huge success at select Coles Supermarkets across Australia, we couldn’t be more excited to announce our latest expansion.

\n

Last year, Coles Supermarkets trialed the Beyond Burger in 15 stores across Melbourne, only to sell out in a matter of hours. In some locations, Coles sold out before they even arranged the burgers in the meat case!

\n

The Beyond Burger can now be found at 175 Coles Supermarkets across Queensland and 418 stores across all of Australia. For those looking to dine out, you can enjoy the Beyond Burger at restaurants like Lord of the Fries, Outback Steakhouse, and JUS Burgers!

Josh Capon is the executive chef-partner behind some of the most loved meat-centric restaurants in Downtown NYC - Lure Fishbar (NYC + Miami), B&B Winepub, El Toro Blanco and Bowery Meat Company. Known for his specialty burgers and big personality, Chef Capon has won SIX New York City Burger Bash competitions - the LARGEST burger competition in the country. 

\n

But this year, he pulled an audible. This well-known chef and meat enthusiast decided to change things up and entered Rachel Ray’s NYC Burger Bash, known as the Super Bowl of burgers, with Beyond Meat! 

\n

“As a six-time champion of the Burger Bash, I want to GO BEYOND what any other chef  is creating with a plant-based burger.”

\n

 

\n

Why Beyond Meat?

\n

As an executive chef, it was important to Capon that the plant-based option he chose actually tasted like meat and worked with the flavors he wanted to incorporate. Just like steak, he loved that the Beyond Burger actually caramelized and took on a great texture and mouthfeel. Additionally, his family has been proactively cutting down on their meat intake. Beyond Meat has helped fill a void while still enjoying all of the meaty dishes that they love without feeling like they were missing out. 

\n

“Beyond Meat has been a nice addition to my household. My daughter is gluten and dairy-free and is actually trying to eat a little bit healthier these days.”

\n

 

\n

But back to Rachel Ray's NYC Burger Bash… 

\n

The Beyond Capon Burger was a Homerun! 

\n

It was a crowd favorite, even Rachel Ray stopped by to express her love for the burger.  

\n

“We entered a plant-based burger into the largest burger competition in the country with 50 other burgers and placed 3rd!” said Chef Capon. “That’s a Bronze medal in the Olympics and something to be damn proud of! I think by less than 20 votes but who's counting ?”

It's time to rethink meat.

Zooey Deschanel stopped by the Beyond Meat HQ for the latest episode of her new series, Your Food's Roots. In partnership with The Farm Project, the show aims to remind us where our food comes from, and consequently, how it affects our bodies and our world as a whole. So how is the food industry evolving as we change our perspectives?

\n

At the start of the episode, Zooey posed this question:

\n
\n

\"Is there a future where we can get all the protein and nutrients we need from plants, but not lose what we love about meat?\"

\n
\n

By the end of this video, the clear answer to this question is a resounding YES. On her search for a replacement for animal-based meat, Zooey sits down with Beyond Meat CEO, Ethan Brown, to try her first Beyond Burger. To our delight, Zooey was more than impressed!

\n
\n

\"These meatless burgers taste, feel, and even bleed exactly like beef,\" Zooey Deschanel says.

Zooey goes on to elaborate that \"It looks like meat, it tastes like meat, and it's the same micronutrient profile as a burger.\"

BEYOND MEAT® TO EXPAND WALMART DISTRIBUTION
\n
\n
\n

EL SEGUNDO, Calif., Sept. 29, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Beyond Meat, Inc. (NASDAQ: BYND), a leader in plant-based meat, today announced a major expansion in its long-standing relationship with Walmart, the world’s largest retailer1. Following this summer’s successful launch of the Cookout Classic™ value pack, Beyond Meat’s most affordable product offering to date, this fall, Walmart plans to triple availability of the Beyond Burger® from approximately 800 locations to more than 2,400 stores nationwide beginning next week. The move comes as part of Beyond Meat’s effort to increase worldwide accessibility to simple, plant-based meat products made without GMOs.

\n

Beyond Meat first launched its frozen products at Walmart in 2015. Since then, Walmart has expanded its Beyond Meat in-store offerings to include the Beyond Burger and Beyond Sausage® in the fresh meat aisle and most recently, the Beyond Breakfast Sausage® patties in the freezer aisle.

\n

“Walmart has been a terrific partner and we’re excited to strengthen that partnership in depth and breadth as we look to offer more Beyond Meat products at more Walmart locations, furthering our commitment to increasing accessibility of plant-based meat,” said Chuck Muth, Chief Growth Officer, Beyond Meat.

\n

This news follows an exciting year of growth for Beyond Meat, whose products are available at approximately 112,000 retail and foodservice outlets in 85 countries worldwide. This increased distribution of the Beyond Burger at Walmart comes as the demand for plant-based meat continues to rise and consumers continue to choose Beyond Meat; according to the latest 4-week SPINS data ending 9/6/20, Beyond Meat was the #1 selling brand in all refrigerated plant-based meat.

\n

The Beyond Burger is designed to look, cook and satisfy like a traditional beef burger but is made from simple, plant-based ingredients without GMOs, soy or gluten.

\n

The Beyond Burger has:

\n\n

Beyond Meat’s vision is to be a global protein company capable of serving consumers’ growing demand for delicious, nutritious and sustainable protein. Recently, the findings from a clinical study using Beyond Meat’s plant-based products were published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. In the study conducted at Stanford University, researchers evaluated the impact of replacing animal-based meat with plant-based meat over an 8-week period on cholesterol levels (including LDL), heart disease risk factors including TMAO levels, and body weight, and found improvement in key health metrics when participants replaced animal-based meat with plant-based meat. The results provide yet another data point in a growing field of research about how plant-based meat can help people live healthier lives, and Beyond Meat is committed to supporting further academic and scientific study into the impacts of plant-based meats on health.

SUBWAY® RESTAURANTS AND BEYOND MEAT® UNVEIL ITS STRATEGIC CULINARY PARTNERSHIP AND THE BEYOND MEATBALL™ MARINARA

\n

MILFORD, Conn., Aug. 7, 2019  -- Subway® fans know they can customize their favorite sub to fit any lifestyle and now guests have even more options. Today, Subway unveils a new culinary innovation partnership with Beyond Meat® to test exclusive plant-based protein options. Starting this September and for a limited time only, Subway restaurants will test the Beyond Meatball™ Marinara sub in 685 participating restaurants in Canada and the U.S.

\n

The strategic collaboration with Beyond Meat reflects Subway's continued culinary innovation journey to offer guests even more best-in-class food experiences that they can only find at Subway restaurants. In the past month, Subway has announced exclusive partnerships to offer the first-ever Halo Top hand-spun milkshakes and fresh baked King's Hawaiian® bread only at Subway. The unique partnership with Beyond Meat brings together dedicated culinary teams from both brands to explore new plant-based protein offerings, starting with the Beyond Meatball™ Marinara.

\n

Now guests will have the opportunity to try the new Beyond Meatball™ Marinara, which takes its inspiration from the brand's classic sandwich but with a plant-based twist. The sub is drenched in our irresistible marinara sauce, Provolone cheese, sprinkled with grated parmesan cheese and perfectly toasted, but features the first-ever Beyond Meatball™ created just for Subway. The sub offers the same mouthwatering flavor as Subway's traditional meatball sub and is packed with protein – 24 grams per six-inch sub.

\n

Seventy percent of meat-eaters substitute a non-meat protein in a meal at least once a week, according to researchers, the NPD Group. Subway fans in North America can create more than 1 billion plant-forward sandwich, flatbread, and Signature Wrap combinations. With the addition of the Beyond Meatball™, Subway guests will now have 2 billion options!

\n

\"Subway appeals to so many fans because we truly offer something for everyone. Our guests want to feel good about what they eat and they also want to indulge in new flavors. With our new plant-based Beyond Meatball™ Marinara sub, we are giving them the best of both worlds.

CARL’S JR. INNOVATES ON BEST-SELLING BEYOND BURGER™ WITH THE LAUNCH OF THE NEW BEYOND BBQ CHEESEBURGER

\n

The restaurant expands partnership with Beyond Meat® to introduce a new plant-based menu offering inspired by its iconic Western Bacon Cheeseburger

\n

FRANKLIN, Tenn. — October 8, 2019 — Carl’s Jr.®, known for craveable menu items, is excited to expand its partnership with Beyond Meat® to launch an innovative new menu item – the Beyond BBQ Cheeseburger – available at participating restaurants beginning October 9, 2019. Drawing on the success of its Beyond Famous Star, the restaurant developed a new burger build meant to complement the Beyond Burger™ patty, while drawing on the flavors of its famed Western Bacon Cheeseburger.

\n

The new Beyond BBQ Cheeseburger will feature some of the restaurant’s most popular ingredients including a Beyond Burger patty topped with Carl's Jr. original BBQ sauce, American cheese, crispy onion rings, all on a sesame seed bun, for an indulgent flexitarian option that turns BBQ on its head with a plant-based spin.

\n

“After seeing the overwhelming demand for our Beyond Famous Star, in true Carl’s Jr. fashion we knew it was time to give customers even more plant-based innovations to delight their taste buds. With one Western Bacon Cheeseburger sold every second, we saw this as the perfect flavor inspiration – and so the new Carl’s Jr. Beyond BBQ Cheeseburger was born,” shared Patty Trevino, SVP of Carl’s Jr. Brand Marketing. “We’re always looking for the next great way to innovate and deliver the most craveable burgers, and we’re thrilled to continue our partnership with industry leader Beyond Meat to bring new and exciting flavors to our customers.”

\n

Carl's Jr. was one of the first major U.S. quick service restaurants to introduce a plant-based option to its menu in December 2018, and since then more than 4.5 million Beyond Famous Star burgers have been sold, making it the most successful burger launch for the brand in the past two years.

\n

“It’s been great to see the strong positive consumer response Carl’s Jr. has received since launching the Beyond Burger on-menu as more and more consumers look for delicious plant-based meat options. The on-menu expansion of Beyond Meat reflects Carl’s Jr.’s continued enthusiasm around the brand partnership and commitment to delivering innovative options for their customers,” said Chuck Muth, Chief Growth Officer at Beyond Meat.

\n

The new Beyond BBQ Cheeseburger will be available at Carl’s Jr. restaurants beginning October 9, 2019 starting at $6.29. Pricing and participation may vary by location.

BEYOND MEAT® PARTNERS WITH CARL’S JR.® TO LAUNCH THE BEYOND FAMOUS STAR® AT MORE THAN 1,000 LOCATIONS STARTING JANUARY 2, 2019

\n

The two brands unite to bring forth a major innovation in fast food and Beyond Meat’s largest partnership to date in the U.S.

\n

The charbroiled Beyond Famous Star® will feature Beyond Meat’s new Beyond Burger 2.0 patty, the latest iteration of the company’s flagship product.

\n

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Beyond Meat is partnering with Carl’s Jr. to launch The Beyond Famous Star, which marries the 100% plant-based Beyond Burger patty with the restaurant’s fan-favorite Famous Star burger.

\n

The new Beyond Famous Star is a first-of-its-kind flexitarian take on the iconic Carl’s Jr. Famous Star, with a 100% plant-based patty from Beyond Meat. The quarter-pound patty is cooked top-to-bottom on an open flame in Carl’s Jr.’s unique char broiler, packing its delicious flavor right into the burger.

\n

“We know people are looking for options – in fact, roughly one-third1 of consumers identify as flexitarians – and we’re thrilled to partner with Beyond Meat to bring more delicious, irresistible flavors to our menu,” said Jason Marker, CEO, CKE Restaurants. “The new Beyond Famous Star is a true industry game changer, and we’re proud to add it to our roster of innovative offerings and build on the legacy of mouthwatering flavors.”

\n

Retail data from one supermarket chain this summer found that more than 90% of customers who purchased The Beyond Burger also purchased animal-based protein. This behavior shows Beyond Meat's appeal among meat eaters who want to continue to eat the things they love, while incorporating more plant-based options. Working to serve that consumer need, Carl’s Jr. is proud to be the largest restaurant chain to date in the United States to offer The Beyond Burger on-menu.

\n

The Beyond Famous Star features The Beyond Burger® patty topped with melted American cheese, lettuce, tomato, sliced onions, dill pickles, special sauce and mayonnaise on a seeded bun. The Beyond Burger patty is free of GMOs, gluten and soy, and has lower saturated fat than regular beef, but still delivers tons of flame-broiled flavor and 20g of protein.

\n

“I have long looked forward to the day when my kids can go to a major fast-food chain and order The Beyond Burger. I am grateful to say that day has arrived,” said Ethan Brown, Beyond Meat Founder & CEO. “At our core, Beyond Meat is about enabling consumers to Eat What You LoveTM, and there is no better example than being able to enjoy a delicious Carl’s Jr. burger, while receiving the added health and sustainability benefits of the plant-based Beyond Burger. It is with innovative and forward-looking partners, like Carl’s Jr., that we are building a brighter and more sustainable future.”

\n

The new Beyond Famous Star is available at participating Carl’s Jr. restaurants beginning January 2, 2019 starting at only $6.29. Fans looking to Go Beyond™ can order The Beyond Burger patty on any Carl’s Jr. sandwich for $2 extra.

BEYOND MEAT ANNOUNCES NON-GMO PROJECT VERIFICATION: OUR PRODUCTS DELIVER OMGS NOT GMOS

\n

Beyond Meat cements commitment to creating delicious products using simple, plant-based ingredients, without GMOs

\n

After completing rigorous 1-year review process, Beyond Meat’s entire portfolio of products receive Non-GMO Project verification

\n

EL SEGUNDO, Calif.--Furthering Beyond Meat’s commitment to transparency and simple ingredients, the plant-based category leader has announced the completion of a rigorous 1-year review process to secure non-GMO verification from The Non-GMO Project’s Product Verification Program-- North America’s only third-party verification for non-GMO food and products.

\n

“Our goal is to be on the center of the plate for the entire family,” said Ethan Brown, Founder and CEO of Beyond Meat. “And we believe the best way to serve the family is through a commitment to all-natural, non-GMO ingredients when building meat directly from plants. Though these tough guardrails make it harder for our scientists, we feel it is the right long run decision for Beyond Meat and our consumers.”

\n

The Non-GMO Project’s stringent verification process includes a comprehensive review of a product’s ingredients, supply chain and manufacturing facilities to ensure end-to-end transparency. “The Non-GMO Project celebrates Beyond Meat's tremendous achievements in verifying their entire line of products and their commitment to providing shoppers a transparent choice in the marketplace,” said Courtney Pineau, Associate Director, Non-GMO Project.

\n

This news comes on the heels of Beyond Meat’s July 19th opening of an expansive new innovation campus, dubbed The Manhattan Beach Project, where over 50 scientists and engineers are working to crack the code on meat and recreate it directly from plants. Dr. Dariush Ajami, Beyond Meat’s VP of R&D explains, “Though not easy, we believe it is entirely possible to replicate the taste, texture, and appearance of meat using simple, non-GMO ingredients. To deliver on the hallmark taste, texture and appearance of a beef burger, we employ simple plant-based ingredients in fresh ways: peas provide the protein, beets provide the meaty red hue, and coconut oil and potato starch ensure mouthwatering juiciness and chew.”

\n

All of Beyond Meat’s US-based products—including the game-changing Beyond Burger and Beyond Sausage, both of which are merchandised alongside meat in grocery aisles nationwide—are now Non-GMO Project Verified. Consumers can look for the iconic butterfly seal to appear on Beyond Meat’s in-store packaging in the coming weeks and months.

\n

The Beyond Burger: O-M-G not G-M-O

\n

The Beyond Burger is the world's only burger that looks, cooks, and satisfies like beef, but is made entirely from plants, without GMOs, soy, or gluten. Since its debut in 2016, more than 25 million Beyond Burgers have been sold. Along with being available in the meat case at more than 10,000 grocery stores, it is also sold on the menu at more than 10,000 restaurants including TGI Fridays, BurgerFi, Bareburger, Epic Burger and A&W Canada.

BEYOND CHICKEN® TENDERS WIN PRESTIGIOUS NATIONAL RESTAURANT ASSOCIATION AWARD, IN ADVANCE OF ITS NATIONAL FOODSERVICE LAUNCH LATER THIS YEAR

\n

The plant-based chicken tenders were named a 2021 FABI Award Winner for Best New Product Innovation 

\n

EL SEGUNDO, Calif., May 13, 2021 -- Beyond Meat, Inc. (NASDAQ: BYND), a leader in plant-based meat, has been awarded the prestigious 2021 FABI Award from the National Restaurant Association Show for its latest foodservice product innovation, Beyond Chicken® Tenders. Crafted to look, cook and taste like traditional breaded chicken tenders, Beyond Chicken Tenders are breaded to perfection for a crispy outside and irresistibly juicy, tender bite. In consumer tests, Beyond Chicken Tenders scored at parity for taste-preference with animal-based chicken tenders, making them the perfect on-menu choice for appetizers, entrees or as an ingredient in salads, sandwiches and tacos.

As consumer demand for chicken from quick-service restaurants1 and demand for plant-based
meat continues to rise2, Beyond Meat has worked to perfect its recipe for a best-in-class plant-based chicken that will exceed restaurateur and consumer expectations alike. Beyond Chicken Tenders come ready to cook and in addition to its craveable taste, deliver strong nutritional benefits with 14 grams of protein and 40% less saturated fat than the leading foodservice chicken tender. Like all Beyond Meat products, Beyond Chicken Tenders are made from simple, plantbased ingredients without GMOs. Beyond Meat launched its first chicken product in 2012 and since then, nearly a decade of innovation and research has gone into delivering the crispy, juicy and flavorful chicken tender experience consumers love.

BEYOND MEAT ANNOUNCES AVAILABILITY OF THE BEYOND BURGER® AND BEYOND BEEF™ THROUGH LOCAL CHINESE DISTRIBUTOR, SINODIS

\n

In support of the company’s long-term growth strategy, Beyond Meat hires Candy Chan to the newly created role of General Manager, China 

\n

BEIJING, China, June 8, 2020 - Beyond Meat, Inc. (NASDAQ: BYND), an innovative plant-based meat company, today announced the availability of its products to customers across mainland China through its agreement with local distributor, Sinodis. Sinodis, who was selected as a trusted name in mainland China for their local expertise and extensive foodservice network, will offer two Beyond Meat products: Beyond Beef™ and the Beyond Burger®.

As part of the next step in Beyond Meat’s long-term growth strategy, the company hired Candy Chan to the newly created role of General Manager, China. Candy has over 20 years’ experience building iconic brands like KFC and Pizza Hut in China. Her insights, understanding of the local market and strong knowhow in brand building, restaurant and the food & beverage space are expected to support the brand’s rapid expansion in China. Most recently, Candy was the Chief Brand Officer of Pizza Hut, responsible for Marketing and Food Innovation across the Asia Pacific Region.

“Our goal is to increase availability of plant-based meat globally, providing consumers with more choice and access to the nutritional and environmental benefits of plant-based meat,” said Chuck Muth, Chief Growth Officer at Beyond Meat. “China is an important market given its large population and interest in plant-based proteins. We are committed to building infrastructure that will support our long-term growth in the region and are pleased to partner with Sinodis and have Candy on board as we scale up our market presence.”

“Sinodis is proud to serve as Beyond Meat’s distribution partner in mainland China. The company’s
innovative products are world renowned and we expect an enthusiastic response to the products in China where demand is growing for more high-quality, nutritious plant-based meat options,” said Denis Vergneau, General Manager of Sinodis.

Sinodis, which is known for working with innovative international brands on their market entry and growth, has an expansive distribution network across China. Through its partnership with Beyond Meat, Sinodis is also investing in growing the plant-based meat category in China which is expected to help nurture the brand’s availability on a national scale.

\n

One of the two products Sinodis will carry is Beyond Beef, Beyond Meat’s first product available in mainland China. Beyond Beef is a plant-based minced beef that offers the meaty taste, juicy texture and culinary versatility of minced beef. Made using simple, plant-based ingredients without soy or gluten, Beyond Beef is designed to take the place of traditional minced beef in recipes like beef lo mein and xiaolongbao. Compared to 80/20 minced beef, Beyond Beef offers:
● A rich source of protein with 18g per 100g serving, derived from peas, mung beans and rice
● 30% less saturated fat
● Less total fat
● More iron
● No antibiotics or hormones

In addition to carrying Beyond Beef, Sinodis will also carry Beyond Meat’s popular Beyond Burger in
mainland China. The plant-based Beyond Burger is designed to look, cook and taste like a minced beef burger. Made from simple, plant-based ingredients without soy or gluten, the Beyond Burger delivers the juicy, satisfying burger eating experience, with the added nutritional and environmental benefits of plantbased meat. Compared to 80/20 minced beef, the Beyond Burger offers:
● A rich source of protein with 17g per 100g serving, derived from peas and rice
● 26% less saturated fat
● Less total fat
● More iron
● No antibiotics or hormones
A 2018 Life Cycle Assessment conducted by the University of Michigan found that producing the US Beyond Burger patty uses 99% less water, 93% less land, 46% less energy and emits 90% fewer greenhouse gas emissions than producing a ¼ lb. US beef burger patty. By building meat from plants, Beyond Meat is on a mission to improve human health, positively impact climate change, conserve natural resources and respect animal welfare. This mission is resonating with consumers globally who are looking for diversified protein options that are more nutritious, sustainable and humane.

BEYOND MEAT® ANNOUNCES LATEST EXPANSION IN PLANT-BASED CHICKEN PLATFORM 

\n

Following this summer’s introduction of Beyond Chicken® Tenders in foodservice and successful launches of plant-based chicken at Panda Express and A&W Canada, Beyond Meat is debuting Beyond Chicken Tenders in prominent retail chains in select markets across the U.S., starting in October 

\n

Beyond Meat is also increasing accessibility of its revolutionary plant-based offerings at Walmart, including a 70% increase in the number of stores offering Beyond Breakfast Sausage® Patties 

\n

EL SEGUNDO, Calif., September 27, 2021 -- Beyond Meat® (NASDAQ: BYND), a leader in plant-based meat, today announced that following multiple successful launches of its best-in-class plant-based chicken items in foodservice, it is debuting its Beyond Chicken® Tenders (MSRP: $4.99) at select retailers nationwide in response to consumer demand.

\n

In addition to the retail rollout of the delicious plant-based chicken tenders, Beyond Meat is also increasing its retail product distribution of other Beyond Meat products at Walmart stores in which Beyond Meat products are currently sold, making this the third such expansion this year alone. 

\n

Beyond Meat, a pioneer in the plant-based poultry category, introduced its first chicken product in 2012 and has since doubled down on the category with multiple plant-based chicken launches this year. In response to positive taste reviews and consumer demand, Beyond Meat is proud to debut Beyond Chicken Tenders at select retailers nationwide. With crunchy, golden breading and a juicy, tender bite, Beyond Chicken Tenders are designed to offer the same great taste as traditional chicken tenders but with 50% less saturated fat. Like all Beyond Meat products, Beyond Chicken Tenders contain no GMOs, antibiotics, hormones or cholesterol. 

\n

Unlocking the potential of the faba bean

\n

Through rapid and relentless innovation, Beyond Meat’s research, innovation and culinary teams are focused on creating plant-based meat that is indistinguishable from their animal equivalent in taste while being better for people and the planet. 

\n

The protein in Beyond Chicken Tenders is derived from the faba bean, a nutrient-packed legume crop. Its unique qualities make it the optimal ingredient for replicating the taste and texture of traditional chicken tenders. After popularizing pea protein with the iconic Beyond Burger®, Beyond Meat continues to unlock the potential of new plant protein sources. 

\n

Doubling down on poultry as early pioneers in the category 

\n

The retail rollout of Beyond Chicken Tenders follows a successful foodservice launch earlier this summer. Right out of the gate, the National Restaurant Association awarded the foodservice Beyond Chicken Tenders the prestigious 2021 Food and Beverage (FABI) Award for its groundbreaking taste and versatility, marking the company’s fifth straight FABI win. 

\n

Beyond Chicken Tenders is one in a series of breakthrough plant-based chicken innovations from Beyond Meat, including:

\n\n

“Following the success of our plant-based chicken in restaurants, fans were eager to get their hands on a retail product that’s readily accessible and can be cooked at home anytime,” said Deanna Jurgens, Chief Growth Officer, Beyond Meat. “We’re thrilled to be answering consumer demand by launching Beyond Chicken Tenders at prominent retailers nationwide, continuing our momentum in the plant-based poultry category.” 

\n

Beyond Chicken Tenders come pre-cooked, ready-to-heat in the air fryer, oven or microwave for a crowd-pleasing meal that’s ready in under 10 minutes. Starting in October, shoppers can find Beyond Chicken Tenders in the frozen food aisle in select Walmart, Jewel-Osco, Safeway NorCal, Harris Teeter, Giant Food and ShopRite stores across the country with additional availability expected to be added later this year.

\n

Increasing accessibility to plant-based meat options 

\n

In addition to offering the new Beyond Chicken Tenders, Walmart plans to increase the number of stores offering Beyond Breakfast Sausage® Classic Patties by more than 1,500 stores and Beyond Breakfast Sausage Spicy Patties by more than 1,300 stores, as well as increasing availability of Beyond Meatballs™ and Beyond Beef® Crumbles. This broader product expansion at Walmart is already the third this year, following the introduction of Beyond Meatballs™ in May and Beyond Sausage® Hot Italian in March.

For ultimate convenience, Beyond Chicken Tenders come pre-cooked and ready to heat in your air fryer, oven or microwave. In just under ten minutes, enjoy a crowd-pleasing, ultra-nostalgic, ultra-delicious meal at home or on the go. 

\n

When we first introduced this plant-based chicken wonder to restaurants nationwide earlier this summer, we were overwhelmed with resounding demand for a version that could be whipped up and enjoyed anytime, anywhere. We heard you loud and clear, so in just a few months after their restaurant debut, we’re bringing this delicious tender to frozen aisles nationwide in prominent retailers like Walmart, Jewel-Osco, Safeway NorCal, Harris Teeter, Giant Food and ShopRite — with additional availability expected to be added later this year.

Beyond Meat® Breaks through the Breakfast Category in Canada by Introducing Plant-Based Beyond Breakfast Sausage® Links at All Major Retailers Across the Country

\n

To celebrate the launch, Beyond Meat is giving away free Beyond Breakfast Sausage Links through a nationwide campaign to encourage better habits

\n

Toronto, ON, September 29, 2021 - Beyond Meat®, a leader in plant-based protein, is shaking up the breakfast game in Canada by launching plant-based Beyond Breakfast Sausage® Links in grocery stores nationwide, marking Beyond Meat’s entry into the Canadian retail breakfast category. Consumers can find the savoury plant-based sausage links at all major retailers across Canada, making it easier than ever to enjoy Beyond Meat’s delicious, nutritious and sustainable plant-based proteins any time of day.

\n

Beyond Breakfast Sausage Links are crafted to deliver the craveable flavor and juicy texture of traditional breakfast sausage, while offering 12g of protein per serving and 35% less sodium than the leading brand of pork sausage. Beyond Breakfast Sausage Links are made of simple, plant-based ingredients like peas and rice, with no GMOs, soy, gluten, antibiotics, hormones or cholesterol. Plus with eight links per package, Beyond Breakfast Sausage Links are a delicious and convenient option that will satisfy the whole family.

\n

“We are thrilled to increase our better-for-you plant-based offerings in Canada with the debut of Beyond Breakfast Sausage Links,” said Heena Verma, Marketing Director for Canada, Beyond Meat. “With the launch of our first retail breakfast product, we’re enabling Canadians to enjoy Beyond Meat products any time of day, satiating the growing appetite for plant-based protein in the country.”

\n

Rewarding better sleep with better-for-you breakfast

\n

This delicious plant-based breakfast item is launching in grocery stores nationwide as more than a third of Canadians admit they’re not getting enough sleep and approximately the same amount of Canadians believe that a well-balanced breakfast can improve how they feel throughout the day.[1] Enter Beyond Breakfast Sausage Links — the missing link between the sleep Canadians need tonight and the better-for-you breakfast that fuels tomorrow.

\n

On October 14, Beyond Meat will launch Sleep for Sausage — a nationwide campaign that will reward Canadians for getting a good night’s sleep with free Beyond Breakfast Sausage Links. Fans can receive one Beyond Breakfast Sausage Link for every hour of sleep they clock — sleep eight hours, receive eight delicious Beyond Breakfast Sausage Links in return. To participate, Canadians can visit www.sleepforsausage.com starting October 14 to upload their sleep tracking proof and claim their free Beyond Breakfast Sausage Links, while supplies last. And for those in Toronto, a Sleep for Sausage truck will be visiting neighbourhoods from October 14-17. Track the truck’s location via www.sleepforsausage.com. 

\n

Too excited to sleep? Find Beyond Breakfast Sausage Links in the fresh meat section, next to traditional pork breakfast options, at all major retailers nationwide for MSRP CAD 7.99 per pack. Visit the Beyond Meat store locator to find a participating store location near you.

PANDA EXPRESS®, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH BEYOND MEAT®, LAUNCHES BEYOND™ THE ORIGINAL ORANGE CHICKEN™ ACROSS 70 LOCATIONS NATIONWIDE

\n

After a successful initial launch in New York City and Southern California this summer, Panda Express and Beyond Meat are expanding the availability of this innovative menu item for a limited time to cater to guests’ evolving preferences for more plant-based options 

\n

Panda Express is the first national Asian restaurant concept to serve Beyond Meat across the U.S.

\n

ROSEMEAD, Calif. (October 27, 2021) – Panda Express®, the largest family-owned and operated Asian dining concept in the U.S., is bringing back the wildly popular plant-based Beyond™ The Original Orange Chicken™ to even more cities throughout the country for a limited time while supplies last. Following a successful launch in New York City and Southern California this past summer, this new entrée is a delicious and innovative take on Panda’s iconic, world-famous dish and will be rolling out across 70 locations starting today. Co-developed with Beyond Meat®, this innovative entree captures the irresistible texture and flavor of The Original Orange Chicken®, with the nutritional benefits of plant-based protein.

\n

Beyond The Original Orange Chicken is a good source of plant-based protein and is wok-tossed in Panda’s beloved sweet and tangy Orange Chicken sauce, delivering on the craveable experience that guests love about The Original Orange Chicken. This plant-based innovation, which marks Panda’s first-ever product collaboration, was met with undeniable excitement from guests this summer, as it sold out across all participating Southern California locations less than two weeks into its launch. 

\n

“We received an overwhelmingly positive guest response when we introduced Beyond The Original Orange Chicken at select locations earlier this year. In fact, we wok-fired more than 1,300 pounds of Beyond The Original Orange Chicken in just the first day,” says Chef Jimmy Wang, Executive Director of Culinary Innovation at Panda Express. “It’s one of Panda’s most successful regional launches to date, which further reinforces the desire we’re seeing from our guests for more diverse and plant-based options.”

\n

“We’re excited to expand Beyond The Original Orange Chicken to ten states across the U.S. as we work to increase accessibility to plant-based options at consumers’ favorite restaurants,” said Deanna Jurgens, Chief Growth Officer, Beyond Meat. “We’re proud to be Panda’s trusted partner in reenvisioning their iconic, best-selling dish and are confident that Beyond The Original Orange Chicken will continue delighting fans who are seeking great-tasting, and sustainable protein options.”

As a trailblazer of American Chinese cuisine, Panda is always looking for innovative ways to create a flavorful variety of dishes that appeal to guests’ evolving preferences and tastes and is the first national Asian restaurant concept to serve Beyond Meat. Other plant-based dishes on the menu include Eggplant Tofu, Super Greens, Chow Mein, Vegetable Spring Rolls and Steamed White and Brown Rice. 

\n

Starting October 27, 2021, Beyond The Original Orange Chicken will be available for a limited time at select locations in California, New York, Georgia, Illinois, Texas, Florida, Washington, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia. Visit PandaExpress.com/BTOOC for the list of participating locations and the latest product details.

Kentucky Fried Chicken®, the world’s most popular chicken restaurant, has done what no other quick-service restaurant (QSR) has done before. On Tuesday, August 27th, Beyond Fried Chicken™ made its debut in a limited test, crowning KFC as the first U.S. national QSR to introduce plant-based chicken and SOLD OUT in less than 5 hours – a true Kentucky Fried Miracle.

\n

 

\n
\n

 

\n

 

\n

KFC turned to Beyond Meat to create a finger lickin’ good plant-based fried chicken that would appeal to lovers of both Beyond Meat and KFC. Beyond Fried Chicken is a game changer – the perfect choice for those searching for plant-based meat options on-the-go.

\n

Atlantans had the first taste of Beyond Fried Chicken as part of an exclusive, one restaurant test on August 27 at the Cobb Parkway KFC restaurant near SunTrust Park in Atlanta (2637 Cobb Pkwy South East, Smyrna, Ga.). Lucky customers could choose between nuggets, perfect for dipping, or boneless wings, tossed in their choice of three delicious mouthwatering sauces: Nashville Hot, Buffalo or Honey BBQ.

\n

 

\n
\n

 

\n

“KFC Beyond Fried Chicken is so delicious, our customers will find it difficult to tell that it’s plant-based,” said Kevin Hochman, president and chief concept officer, KFC U.S. “I think we’ve all heard ‘it tastes like chicken’ – well our customers are going to be amazed and say, ‘it tastes like Kentucky Fried Chicken!’”

\n

Customer feedback from the Atlanta test will be considered as KFC evaluates a broader test or potential national rollout. We wanted to give a big THANK YOU to everyone who visited the store and shared the news about the test. It was amazing to see how much enthusiasm there is for The Future of Protein!  In less than 5 hours, not only did they sell out, but guests purchased the amount of Beyond Fried Chicken KFC would normally sell on average of popcorn chicken in a week. Wow.

\n

We will be sure to update all Beyond Meat and KFC fans as we learn more.

BEYOND MEAT® VERSTÄRKT DIE GLOBALE GO BEYOND® INITIATIVE MIT SERGE GNABRY ALS MARKENBOTSCHAFTER

\n

Der Fußball-Star ist ab sofort Teil der Beyond Meat-Familie und möchte möglichst viele Menschen inspirieren, häufiger Fleisch aus Pflanzen statt Fleisch von Tieren zu essen. 

\n

München, 3 Februar, 2022 - Beyond Meat Inc., ein führender Hersteller von pflanzlichem Fleisch, gibt heute bekannt, dass Serge Gnabry ab sofort als Markenbotschafter für Deutschland zu Beyond Meat® kommt. Als Flexitarier schätzt Serge Gnabry die Eigenschaften pflanzlicher Proteine und möchte diese auch anderen näher bringen.  

\n

Serge Gnabry zählt als Teil der deutschen Nationalmannschaft sowie des Kaders des FC Bayern München zu den erfolgreichsten und populärsten deutschen Fußballern. In einem neuen Video der globalen Go Beyond® Initiative, das heute veröffentlicht wurde, erzählt Serge, wie er danach strebt, immer wieder über sich hinauszuwachsen, und warum er ein großer Fan von Beyond Meat ist.

\n

„Ich muss mich auf meine körperliche Leistungsfähigkeit verlassen können, daher nehme ich meine Ernährung sehr ernst“, sagt Serge Gnabry. „Seit ich mich vor etwa 3 Jahren entschieden habe, weniger tierische Proteine zu essen, esse ich sehr gern Beyond Meat. Der Geschmack der Beyond Burger und Beyond Bratwürste ist einfach der Hammer!“

\n

„Serge verkörpert unsere Go Beyond-Mission als Sportler voll und ganz und zeigt, dass auch Spitzensportler auf pflanzliche Proteine vertrauen“, sagt Bram Meijer, EMEA Marketing Director, Beyond Meat. “Wir bei Beyond Meat sind stolz darauf, mit Sportlern wie Serge zusammenzuarbeiten und so viele Menschen zu inspirieren, mehr pflanzliche statt tierische Proteine zu essen.“  

\n

Als einer der ersten europäischen Markenbotschafter von Beyond Meat gesellt sich Serge Gnabry zu einer Gruppe weltweit anerkannter Profisportler wie Romelu Lukaku, Lewis Hamilton, Nick Kyrgios, Chris Paul, Kyrie Irving und Lindsey Vonn sowie einigen weiteren Prominenten, wie Kevin Hart und Snoop Dogg, um die Initiative für eine Ernährung mit pflanzlichen Proteinen ebenfalls zu unterstützen.

\n

Alle Beyond Meat-Produkte werden aus hochwertigen pflanzlichen Zutaten hergestellt und sind von Natur aus cholesterinfrei. Durch den saftigen Geschmack des pflanzlichen Fleischs von Beyond Meat können Fleischliebhaber weiterhin die Dinge essen, die sie lieben - wie einen saftigen, köstlichen Burger - aber mit den Nährwert- und Umweltvorteilen pflanzlicher Proteine.

\n

So hat beispielsweise eine Lebenszyklusanalyse der Universität Michigan ergeben, dass die Herstellung des originalen Beyond Burgers 99% weniger Wasser, 93% weniger Fläche und fast 50% weniger Energie verbraucht sowie 90% weniger Treibhausgasemissionen verursacht als die Herstellung eines Quarter Pounder Rindfleisch-Burgers (entspricht 113 g).

Beyond Meat Inc, ein führender Hersteller von pflanzlichem Fleisch, kooperiert zur Feier des chinesischen Neujahrs, das am 1. Februar beginnt, mit dem Hamburger Dim Sum Haus. Das renommierte chinesische Restaurant unweit der Außenalster serviert bereits seit 1964 authentisch chinesische Gerichte und zählt u.a. Sterneköche wie Tim Raue, Christian Bau und Kevin Fehling oder auch TV-Köche wie Tim Mälzer, Steffen Henssler und Johann Lafer zu seinen Stammgästen. 

\n

Zum Jahreswechsel hat sich der Inhaber und bekennender Beyond Meat-Fan Dennis Kwong etwas ganz Besonderes ausgedacht: Drei leckere Dim Sum-Rezepte, die allesamt mit dem pflanzlichen Beyond Mince® Gehacktes gefüllt sind. Begrüßen Sie mit uns das Jahr des Tigers! 

\n

Rezept: Beyond Wan Tan

\n

Wan Tans haben ihren Ursprung im Kantonesischen. Die Teigtaschen werden mit Pilzen und Gemüse gefüllt sowie – in diesem Rezept – mit leckerem Beyond Mince Gehacktes. Anschließend werden sie im Körbchen gedämpft und mit einer speziellen scharf-würzigen Soße vermischt.    

\n

Rezept: Beyond Xiaolongbao 

\n

Xiaolongbao oder auch ‚Suppen-Dumplings‘ sind kleine, mit Fleisch und Brühe gefüllte Teigtaschen aus der Region Shanghai und Jiangsu. Dieses Rezept mit Ingwer, Lauchzwiebeln und Beyond Mince Gehacktes schmeckt besonders frisch und würzig.  

\n

Rezept: Beyond Fun Guo

\n

Fun Guo sind eine besondere Dumpling-Variante aus Guangdong, einer Provinz in Südchina. In diesem Rezept werden sie gedämpft und mit Beyond Mince, Erdnüssen, eingelegten Radieschen, Wasserkastanien, Chinalauch und Shiitake gefüllt. 

\n

Beyond Mince wird aus hochwertigen pflanzlichen Zutaten wie Erbsen, Reis und Ackerbohnen hergestellt. Das pflanzliche Hack sieht nicht nur aus wie das tierische Pendant, sondern schmeckt auch so und lässt sich genauso zubereiten. Gleichzeitig bietet es ernährungsphysiologische und ökologische Vorteile pflanzlicher Proteine.

\n

„Ich freue mich sehr über die Zusammenarbeit mit Beyond Meat und die Entwicklung dieser pflanzlichen Dim Sum Rezepte hat großen Spaß gemacht”, sagt Dennis Kwong. “Das Ergebnis schmeckt ebenso gut wie das Original. Ich bin total begeistert!” 

\n

Dim Sum, das heißt wörtlich übersetzt \"das Herz berühren\" und ist die Bezeichnung für eine besondere Art der chinesischen Küche, bestehend aus hundert verschiedenen mundgerechten Delikatessen. Beyond Meat wünscht Ihnen guten Appetit und viel Spaß beim Ausprobieren dieser Rezepte aus dem Dim Sum Haus Hamburg!

As an NBA All-Star, head of the NBA Players Association, and most importantly, a parent, CP3 leads by example in everything he does. He may be known as a general on the court, but as a father and a public advocate he has taken leadership to another level.

\n

“When my son asks me what is most important… I tell him that my job is to make a difference off the court and to fight for progress. It all begins with taking care of myself so I have the fuel to push harder. What I put in my body matters now more than ever. As a parent, I’m always reminded of that. And to #GoBeyond in everything I do.” - Chris Paul, Beyond Ambassador

“After receiving overwhelmingly positive feedback from fans during our tests in various parts of the country and across social media, we knew it was time to bring our Beyond Tacos to guests nationwide,” said John Cappasola, President and Chief Executive Officer of Del Taco. “We saw a unique opportunity to develop our own recipe in partnership with Beyond Meat, adding various spices to create a signature Del Taco taste consumers can’t get anywhere else.”

\n

From busy families on-the-go or taco enthusiasts who want to try something new, Del Taco fans can now try the company’s new Beyond Tacos,** which offer the same amount of protein and flavor as their seasoned beef tacos, but are made with Beyond Meat’s 100 percent plant-based crumbles. The Beyond Tacos are a great way to fuel up without feeling weighed down.

\n

In addition to the core Beyond Taco items, customers can request Beyond Meat as a substitute for a protein in existing Del Taco menu items, such as burritos, nachos and fries. Del Taco’s two initial Beyond Meat menu items will include:

Serge Gnabry ist ab sofort Teil der Beyond Meat-Familie

\n

Beyond Meat gibt heute bekannt, dass Serge Gnabry ab sofort Beyond Meat®️ Markenbotschafter für Deutschland wird. Als Flexitarier schätzt Serge Gnabry die Eigenschaften pflanzlicher Proteine und möchte diese auch anderen näher bringen.  

\n

Serge Gnabry zählt als Teil der deutschen Nationalmannschaft sowie des Kaders des FC Bayern München zu den erfolgreichsten und populärsten deutschen Fußballern. In einem neuen Video der globalen Go Beyond®️ Initiative, das heute veröffentlicht wurde, erzählt Serge, wie er danach strebt, immer wieder über sich hinauszuwachsen und warum er ein großer Fan von Beyond Meat ist.

\n

Warum hast du dich für die Umstellung auf eine pflanzliche Ernährung entschieden?

\n

Ich habe angefangen, mehr auf die Umwelt um mich herum zu achten und mehr über die Lebensmittel zu lernen, die ich meinem Körper zuführe. Als jemand, der sich sehr auf seine körperliche Leistungsfähigkeit verlässt, habe ich das ernst genommen. Ich würde noch nicht sagen, dass ich mich vollständig pflanzlich ernähre, aber ich habe in den letzten Jahren einige große Veränderungen in meiner Ernährung vorgenommen. Es ist toll zu sehen, dass es eine so große Bewegung von Menschen gibt, die ihre Ernährung umstellen.

\n

Welchen Rat würdest du jemandem geben, der seinen Fleischkonsum reduzieren und auf eine flexitarische Ernährung umstellen möchte? 

\n

Die Auswirkungen einer Ernährungsumstellung sind manchmal sehr schnell sichtbar. Wenn man ein bisschen recherchiert und die besten Alternativen und Rezepte für sich gefunden hat, ist man überrascht, wie leicht es gehen kann, tierisches Fleisch gegen pflanzliches Protein auszutauschen. Mit Produkten wie Beyond Meat wird es viel einfacher.

\n

Was sind deine Gedanken zum Klimawandel? 

\n

Wir müssen den Klimawandel sehr ernst nehmen und Veränderungen durchsetzen, um nachfolgenden Generationen zu helfen. Man kann die Auswirkungen des Klimawandels jedes Jahr sehen, man kann sie nicht ignorieren!

\n

Was hast du gedacht, als du das erste Mal ein Beyond Meat Produkt probiert hast? 

\n

Ich habe zum ersten Mal einen Beyond Burger in Los Angeles probiert und war beeindruckt - ich habe mich gefragt wie sie es schaffen, dass das Produkt geschmacklich und von der Textur her tierischem Fleisch so sehr ähnelt!

BEYOND MEAT® ESTABLISHES GROUNDBREAKING PLANT-BASED DIET INITIATIVE FUND AT THE STANFORD UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE

\n

The scientific and academic initiative will create a repository of cutting-edge research that will help drive and inform additional breakthrough product innovations to advance human health

\n

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. (April, 27, 2021) -- Beyond Meat, Inc. (NASDAQ: BYND), a leader in plant-based meat, today announced the establishment of a pioneering Plant-Based Diet Initiative Fund at the Stanford University School of Medicine. The five-year endeavor is designed to provide peer-reviewed, clinically-significant studies on the health implications of a plant-based diet, including plant-based meat, and will help to generate data to drive and inform Beyond Meat’s research and development.

\n

As a preeminent leader in plant-based innovation for human health, Beyond Meat’s commitment to using only simple, plant-based ingredients without GMOs or bioengineered ingredients has set the industry standard for better-for-you plant-based meat products. The comprehensive research program will be spearheaded by Stanford scientists and doctors who will gather research from a variety of interdisciplinary fields and convene symposia and colloquia with the aim of advancing a more nutritious and environmentally sustainable food system.

\n

The Plant-Based Diet Initiative Fund will sustain a variety of programs including:

\n\n

Through the Stanford School of Medicine’s SWAP-MEAT study which was published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition in August 2020, researchers evaluated the impact of replacing animal-based meat with Beyond Meat’s plant-based meats over an 8-week period on cholesterol levels (including LDL), heart disease risk factors including TMAO levels, and body weight, and found improvement in key health metrics when participants replaced animal-based meat with Beyond Meat’s plant-based meat.  In terms of sustainability, the University of Michigan in 2018 clearly demonstrated that producing the original Beyond Burger® had 99% less impact on water scarcity, 93% less impact on land use, required 46% less energy and generated 90% fewer greenhouse gas emissions when compared to producing a ¼ lb. standard 80/20 beef burger. The five-year Plant-Based Diet Initiative Fund is designed to provide substantive scientific and academic research to further maximize the intersection of human and environmental health.

\n

This initiative complements Beyond Meat’s existing work to foster a healthier society through The Partnership For A Healthier America, which aims to increase healthy choices for America’s youth, and the Social Change Fund, which fights disparities in the Black community.

Hopdoddy is hopping on board with Beyond Meat to deliver the highest-quality plant-based burgers to its fans. The burger joint known for its original, handcrafted burger creations is one of the first major chains to offer the even-meatier, even-juicier new Beyond Burger, which was selected as their top plant-based patty pick because of its simple, non-GMO ingredients. 

\n

To mark this mouthwatering occasion, the Beyond Burger is featured in the Hopdoddy’s August Burger of the Month: the Beyond a Reuben burger. This all-new burger creation consists of a juicy Beyond Burger patty topped with pastrami spiced mushrooms, gruyere cheese, Dijon mustard, sauerkraut, pickles and Russian dressing on a fresh baked carraway seeded bun.

\n

Craving a different build? The Beyond Burger patty can also be substituted in any Hopdoddy burger and replaces all previous plant-based meat options offered at Hopdoddy.

\n

Like all Beyond Meat products, the Beyond Burger contains simple, plant-based ingredients and no GMOs, hormones, antibiotics or cholesterol. It offers 20 grams of protein and has 35% less fat and saturated fat and fewer calories than traditional 80/20 ground beef patties. 

\n

To kick off this new partnership, Hopdoddy is taking over Beyond Meat food trucks in Dallas, L.A. and other cities across the country to give Beyond Burgers a Hopdoddy twist. Dates, times and locations will be shared in the coming months via Hopdoddy’s Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Be sure to hop on over!

Hopdoddy will celebrate the new partnership with its August Burger of the Month, the all-new Beyond a Reuben burger, featuring a Beyond Burger patty topped with pastrami-spiced mushrooms, Gruyere cheese, Dijon mustard, sauerkraut, pickles and Russian dressing on a fresh-baked caraway-seeded bun.

\n

“At Hopdoddy, we are all about offering the finest ingredients available, from our Chipperbec fries to our certified all-natural Piedmontese beef and now, our plant-based Beyond Burger that’s made without GMOs,” said Hopdoddy Head Chef Matt Schweitzer. “After tasting Beyond Meat’s newest Beyond Burger patty, we were blown away by how juicy and delicious it was, making it a great addition to the variety of proteins we offer.”

\n

Like all Beyond Meat products, the Beyond Burger contains simple, plant-based ingredients and no GMOs, hormones, antibiotics or cholesterol. It features 20 grams of protein derived from peas and brown rice and has 35% less fat and saturated fat and fewer calories than traditional 80/20 ground beef patties. The Beyond Burger patty can also be substituted in any Hopdoddy burger. Other vegan options at Hopdoddy include a vegan wheat bun, mayo and cheese and the El Bandito veggie patty.

Just in time for peak grilling season, People magazine has named the even-juicier, even-better-for-you Beyond Burger as its best plant-based burger!

\n

The editors at People taste-tested over 2,000 products for this year’s People Food Awards, and the Beyond Burger came out on top in the plant-based meat category. According to one of the testers, “My meat-eating friends had a hard time telling the difference.” 

\n

The rave reviews continued on Good Morning America, where the Beyond Burger was described as: “juicy and tender and so much like meat, it’s pretty shocking.” We have to agree. Powered by peas and brown rice, the Beyond Burger was recognized for not just its taste but also its simple, plant-based ingredients — and maybe even a little Harry Potter magic? Check out the clip from Good Morning America to see for yourself (find us at the 1:55 mark!).

\n

\n

 

\n

Like all Beyond Meat products, the new Beyond Burger is also an excellent source of protein (20g per serving). But unlike animal protein, our plant-based protein has no cholesterol. It also has 35% less total and saturated fat than 80/20 beef, fewer calories, and comparable B vitamins and minerals.

\n

Can’t wait to try the Beyond Burger? Need to stock up for your next BBQ? To find your nearest Beyond Meat-carrying store and pick up the newest iteration of the Beyond Burger, visit the Beyond Meat locator and be sure to look for the red “new meatier taste” tab on the upper right corner.

The Beyond Burger unites people from across the aisle of both Congress and the grocery store!

\n

Earlier this month, we had the opportunity to join our good friends at The Good Food Institute, on Capitol Hill, to help introduce members of Congress to the #FutureOfProtein! Both Republicans and Democrats, House Members and Senate Staff and more, arrived early to a packed room to get a taste of the future of food: The Beyond Burger!

\n

Just like GFI, at Beyond Meat we believe that there are better alternatives to replace conventional animal agriculture. Our CEO, Ethan Brown, is determined to implement the same spirt of innovation that replaced landlines with smartphones, to our dinner plates. GFI's Executive Director Bruce Friedrich spoke at the event, \"At GFI we are focused on using markets and food technology to solve the big problems of animal agriculture, and we're absolutely convinced that through companies like Beyond Meat and other plant-based companies we can produce food in a new and better way.\"

\n

We were beyond honored that GFI chose to feature The Beyond Burger to help show policymakers how we can make meat more sustainable and strengthen our food system all at the same time. \"[It's] incredible that there is now a solution to such global problems as food security and environmental protection that is directly in line with business growth and consumer demand,\" says Emily Byrd, Senior Communications Specialist at GFI. \"We think it's critical that policymakers are aware of this game-changing opportunity to support positive innovation that unites people from every political perspective.\"

\n

We couldn't have imagined a better place to celebrate our effort to democratize the #futureofprotein than the US Capitol. Read more about the event on GFI's website here, or on Organic Authority here.

A burger that’s good for the planet and good for you! The newest iteration of the Beyond Burger has been crowned a winner of Good Housekeeping's 2021 Sustainable Innovation Awards, which recognizes brands and products that are making true strides in sustainable innovation.

\n

The Good Housekeeping Institute’s trusted team of scientists, engineers and product experts test thousands of products each year to determine the best options for both people and planet. This year, the Beyond Burger was the only plant-based meat brand to be named a winner within the Product-based Sustainability Initiative category.

\n

Made from simple, plant-based ingredients with 20g of non-GMO plant protein per serving, the new Beyond Burger has proven environmental benefits. The University of Michigan’s 2018 LCA showed that the original Beyond Burger, compared to producing a ¼ lb. standard U.S. 80/20 beef burger, has 99% less impact on water scarcity, 93% less impact on land use, requires 46% less energy and generates 90% fewer greenhouse gas emissions.

For a long time, people associated a plant-based diet with being weak, scrawny and malnourished. Thankfully, this misconception is finally getting thrown out, particularly due to examples set by the many plant-based athletes like Brendan Brazier, Scott Jurek, Venus Williams, and Meagan Duhamel. It takes hard work and motivation to reach this level of fitness, but it also requires the right fuel. Fueling an active lifestyle with plants might require a bit more planning than downing a whey smoothie, but it absolutely can be done – and your body and the planet will thank you for it!

\n

What and Why

\n

Nutrition is a complex thing.There are dozens of different types of nutrients and they all work in different ways in the body, including interacting with each other. To simplify it, we can break down nutrients into 6 categories, each of which is important for fueling your body.These nutrient requirements remain the same whether you are plant-based or not.

\n

Proteins:

\n

Protein is made up of amino acids, which are the building blocks of your cells, muscles and many tissues. Aside from giving cells structure, they play many important roles such as transporting nutrients and regulating hormones. After an active day, you also need protein to restore glycogen stores.

\n

Plant Sources:

\n\n

Carbs:

\n

Carbohydrates are what give our bodies energy. If you don’t have enough carbs before a workout, your body might turn to other sources of energy – such as your muscle tissue! This is Not what you want to happen!!! There are two general types of carbs: complex and simple. Complex carbs (like quinoa, oats, and whole grains) take longer to break down and are good at making you feel full and giving you long-lasting energy throughout the day. Simpler carbs (like fruits and pasta) are absorbed faster and quickly rise your blood sugar levels to give you a burst of energy. This is why marathon runners eat a huge meal of pasta before a race.

\n

Plant Sources:

\n\n

Fats:

\n

When you exercise, your body responds with inflammation. You need fat (in particularly Omega 3 fatty acids) to support the immune system and reduce inflammation. Fat is also important for feeling satiated and absorbing nutrients.

\n

Plant Sources:

\n\n

Vitamins:

\n

There are 13 essential vitamins, which can be broken down into two categories: water-soluble and fat-soluble. Many vitamins are very important for metabolism, and thus help give you the energy you need for an active lifestyle. Vitamins can also act as antioxidants to help your body heal after a workout. Note that Vitamin B12 is not found naturally in any plant foods.Take a supplement or look for plant foods which are fortified with it, such as the Beyond Meat Beast Burger.

\n

Plant Sources:

\n\n

Minerals:

\n

Minerals do not directly help with energizing your body. However, they are very important in numerous physiological functions, such as nervous system function, balancing water, and building bones.

\n

Plant Sources:

\n\n

Water:

\n

Yes, water is considered a nutrient! It has roles like lubricating our bodies, helping blood flow, eliminating metabolic waste, and carrying nutrients to cells. Don’t wait until you feel thirsty to drink water.You’ve got to replace water throughout your active day. Remember that the body also requires electrolytes (which are minerals) to balance water in your body. Guzzling down water won’t help hydrate your body if you don’t have enough electrolytes.

\n

Plant Sources (of electrolytes):

\n\n

The Importance of Diversity in Diet

\n

We’ve got to emphasize that nutrients work together. For example, your body needs antioxidants to help your body heal after a workout and reduce inflammation. But fat is important for absorbing most anti-inflammatory vitamins and minerals. So, you can eat all the carrots you want. You won’t get Vitamin A from them if you aren’t eating them with some fat too.

\n

Rather than trying to figure out complex food combinations, just try to eat a wide variety of food every day. One approach is to make sure you get each of these 5 categories of food into each meal:

\n\n

For example, when you eat a spinach salad with tomatoes, the citric acid from the tomato increases the absorption of iron from the spinach (plus the combo tastes awesome). Throw some avocado dressing on top and you’ve just increased the absorption of Vitamins A, E and K.

\n

When

\n

There is a lot of conflicting advice about what to eat before and after a workout. The general consensus, however, is this:

\n

Every Day: You should eat a wide variety of foods, making sure to get a fiber-rich breakfast and lean proteins and healthy fats with each meal.

\n

Pre-Workout: You should consume some complex carbs and a small amount of protein and fat about 2 to 4 hours before the workout. If you don’t feel hungry during your workout, then you can skip the pre-workout meal. Listen to your body!

\n

During the Workout: Unless you are doing endurance exercises, there is no need to eat during your workout. But do remember to drink about 8-10 ounces of water about every 15 minutes.

\n

Post-Workout: You need a hefty dose of protein to repair your muscles after a workout. You also need antioxidants and healthy fats to help reduce inflammation and speed healing. A small amount of simple carbs are needed to re-energize your body. The “Recovery Window” after a workout is about 30 to 60 minutes, so make sure you get that meal in quickly – ideally in an easily-digestible form like a smoothie.
