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.
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:
- A complete source of protein with 18g per 100g serving
- More iron
- 35% less saturated fat
- Less total fat
- No cholesterol, antibiotics or hormones
“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."
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.
Benefits of plant-based proteins
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.
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.
