- Beyond Meat is planning to more than double its Retail Distribution of Beyond Breakfast Sausage Patties
Plant-based meat leader Beyond Meat, Inc. (NASDAQ: BYND) announced it is continuing 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. And 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.
“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 at 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.”
Beyond Breakfast Sausage Patties are known to be a quick and convenient plant-based option that goes from frozen to finished in under five minutes. And with flavor notes like sage and black pepper, Beyond Breakfast Sausage Patties are designed to taste like pork breakfast sausage patties.
Beyond Breakfast Sausage patties have the following characteristics:
– 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.
And recently, the findings from a clinical study using Beyond Meat’s plant-based products were published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. In that 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 provided yet another data point in a growing field of research about how plant-based meat can help people live healthier lives
This news comes on the heels of a major year of growth for Beyond Meat, whose products are available at approximately 112,000 retail and foodservice outlets in 85 countries worldwide. Recently, the company launched Beyond Meatballs at grocery stores nationwide, providing yet another convenient, delicious plant-based meat option for at-home cooking.
Beyond Breakfast Sausage patties can be found at your local grocer in the freezer aisle (MSRP $4.99).
