Beyond Meat
® (NASDAQ: BYND), a leader in
plant-based protein, today announced another exciting milestone in
its partnership with A&W Canada with the introduction of Beyond
Meat Nuggets. The launch taps into the growing consumer demand for
chicken from quick-service restaurants1 as well as an increased
demand for plant-based proteins2. Beyond Meat Nuggets offer fans a
crispy, craveable plant-based chicken nugget option with all the
benefits of plant-based protein and no sacrifice on taste or
flavour.
Perfect for dipping, dunking and sharing, Beyond
Meat Nuggets offer the same universally loved experience as
traditional chicken nuggets while offering 18 grams of plant-based
protein per six pieces. Like all Beyond Meat products, Beyond Meat
Nuggets are made from simple, plant-based ingredients with no GMOs,
antibiotics, hormones, or cholesterol.
Beyond Meat and A&W Canada first partnered
in 2018 to introduce the popular Beyond Meat Burger to Canadian
consumers, earning recognition from burger enthusiasts nationwide.
With this launch, the two brands are once again partnering to bring
Canadians best-in-class plant-based options that meet consumers’
evolving needs and preferences.
“Beyond Meat Nuggets couldn’t come at a more
perfect time,” said Deanna Jurgens, Chief Growth Officer, Beyond
Meat. “We’ve doubled down on plant-based chicken this summer, just
as consumer demand for chicken is skyrocketing. Following the
success of our partnership on the Beyond Burger, we’re proud to be
working with A&W Canada to debut Beyond Meat Nuggets in
Canada.”
“Many Canadians are looking for plant-based
options, but they don’t want to compromise on taste,” said Tom
Newitt, VP of Marketing at A&W Canada. “We have been on a
search for the best, most delicious plant-based nugget and are
excited for our guests to try our new Beyond Meat Nuggets. We think
nugget lovers will be very impressed!”
As part of the company’s expanding plant-based
poultry platform, Beyond Meat has been making momentous strides in
plant-based chicken in recent weeks, including the launch of Beyond
Chicken® Tenders in the U.S. Beyond Meat Nuggets, a brand new
product, are making their debut at A&W Canada locations
nationwide, marking an important milestone between Beyond Meat and
A&W Canada as they work to bring increased choice and more
diverse protein options to menus.
Starting August 9, consumers can find Beyond
Meat Nuggets in all A&W Canada locations nationwide for a
limited time, while supplies last. The Nuggets will be available as
a six- or 10-piece order, as well as an option for the A&W
Kids’ Pack. Guests can order Beyond Meat Nuggets at restaurant,
drive thru, and through the A&W mobile ordering app and
third-party delivery apps. To find the location nearest you, visit
