Beyond Meat® Expands Award-Winning Chicken Portfolio with the Introduction of Beyond Chicken® Nuggets and Beyond Popcorn Chicken™
November 07 2022 - 8:00AM
Beyond Meat, Inc. (NASDAQ: BYND), a leader in plant-based meat,
today launched Beyond Chicken® Nuggets and Beyond Popcorn Chicken™,
the latest additions to Beyond Meat’s award-winning chicken
platform that also includes Beyond Chicken® Tenders. The new
plant-based chicken products will launch at more than 5,000 Kroger
and Walmart stores nationwide, as well as at select Albertsons and
Ahold divisions and other retailers across the country.
Crispy, golden brown on the outside and juicy on
the inside, Beyond Chicken Nuggets and Beyond Popcorn Chicken
satisfy consumers’ craving for delicious chicken options that are
better for people and the planet. The two new products offer
nutritional benefits like having 14g of plant-based protein derived
from a blend of faba bean and pea, 50% less saturated fat than a
leading brand of traditional breaded chicken nuggets, 0mg of
cholesterol, and no added antibiotics, hormones or soy1.
Beyond Chicken Nuggets come pre-cooked and can
be conveniently made in the air fryer in under 5 minutes, offering
parents a delicious, quick and lunchbox-friendly option that kids
will love. Beyond Popcorn Chicken is a bite-sized party favorite
made easy that goes from freezer to plate in just a few minutes in
the air fryer.
“We’re always exploring new plant-based protein
sources that deliver the taste and texture of its animal protein
equivalent and are proud that by using faba bean protein we’ve been
able to create a portfolio of absolutely delicious plant-based
chicken products with no added soy, a key differentiator for our
Beyond Chicken products within the category,” said Chief Innovation
Officer Dariush Ajami.
This launch, part of Beyond Meat’s commitment to
rapid and relentless innovation, builds upon the recent debut of
Beyond Steak™, a revolutionary, plant-based protein designed to
deliver the juicy, tender and delicious bite of seared steak tips.
With 21g of protein per serving, Beyond Steak offers nutritional
benefits including being low in saturated fat and having 0 mg of
cholesterol and no added antibiotics or hormones. Beyond Steak is
available at more than 5,000 Kroger and Walmart stores nationwide,
as well as select Albertsons and Ahold divisions and other
retailers across the country and in foodservice.
