Beyond Meat® to More Than Double Retail Distribution of Beyond Breakfast Sausage® Patties
September 21 2020 - 9:00AM
Beyond Meat, Inc. (NASDAQ: BYND), a leader in plant-based meat,
continues its efforts to increase accessibility to plant-based meat
with the announcement that its popular frozen Beyond Breakfast
Sausage® Patties are expanding to select Kroger, Super Target,
Walmart, Publix and Harris Teeter stores by the end of September.
As demand for plant-based meat continues to
rise, this expansion complements the company’s expansive retail
presence at approximately 26,000 retail outlets across the U.S. in
which consumers have made their preference for Beyond Meat clear:
according to the latest 4-week SPINS data ending 8/9/20, Beyond
Meat was the #1 selling brand in all refrigerated plant-based
meat.
“Following the initial release of our Beyond
Breakfast Sausage Patties at retailers earlier this year, we heard
an enthusiastic and overwhelmingly positive response from consumers
who asked for increased availability,” said Chuck Muth, Chief
Growth Officer, Beyond Meat. “We’re thrilled to be able to make
delicious and nutritious plant-based meat with no GMOs more
available nationwide, giving our consumers another convenient
option to Go Beyond® any time of day.”
Perfect for busy mornings, Beyond Breakfast
Sausage Patties are a quick and convenient plant-based option that
goes from frozen to finished in under five minutes. With flavor
notes like sage and black pepper, Beyond Breakfast Sausage Patties
are designed to taste like pork breakfast sausage patties,
unlocking even more breakfast choices to power your day.
Beyond Breakfast Sausage patties have:
- 11g of protein per serving (two
patties), derived from peas and brown rice
- 50% less total fat and 35% less
saturated fat and sodium than a leading brand of pork breakfast
sausage patties
- No cholesterol, nitrates, nitrites,
antibiotics or hormones
- No GMOs, soy or gluten
- Certified Kosher and Halal
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.
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. Most
recently, the company launched Beyond Meatballs™ at grocery stores
nationwide, providing yet another convenient, delicious plant-based
meat option for at-home cooking.
