About the Company
Beyond Meat is planting The Future of Protein. We bypass the animal altogether and make delicious and nutritious products like chicken strips, burgers, and beef crumbles directly from plants. Our products enable families to continue to eat what they love—like beef nachos, chili, pasta Bolognese, and chicken fajitas—without the health and other downsides of animal protein. We are dedicated to positively impacting human health and the health of our world. Beyond Meat is available in Whole Foods, Target, Safeway, Publix, Walmart and 11,000 stores nationwide and sold through various food service distributors.
