Beyond Steak®, the #1 New Plant-Based Meat Item in Retail, is Now Available at Nearly 14,000 Stores Nationwide Following Expanded Distribution

EL SEGUNDO, Calif., July 11, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Beyond Meat, Inc. (NASDAQ: BYND), a leader in plant-based meat, today announced that following a successful initial rollout, Beyond Steak®, the #1 selling new plant-based meat item in retail1, is expanding distribution to include Whole Foods Market, Publix, Wegmans, Meijer and Stater Bros. Markets. This new distribution joins existing availability of Beyond Steak at Kroger, Walmart, Albertsons, Ahold, Target and Sprouts Farmers Market, and supports Beyond Meat’s mission of making delicious, nutritious and sustainable plant-based meat products accessible for all.

Designed to deliver the juicy, tender and delicious bite of seared steak tips, Beyond Steak has been receiving rave reviews for being “tender and juicy” with a “caramelized crust,” and recently won the PEOPLE Food Awards 2023 for having, “the texture, chew and flavor” of steak. Beyond Steak can be prepared in a skillet or air fryer in just five minutes and is the perfect option for salads, sandwiches, tacos, stir fries and more.

In a testament to Beyond Meat’s efforts to create plant-based proteins that not only taste delicious but are better-for-you than their animal protein equivalents, Beyond Steak boasts 21 grams of protein, contains only 1 gram of saturated fat and has 170 calories per serving with no cholesterol or added hormones and antibiotics. Most recently, Beyond Steak was certified as a heart-healthy2 food by the American Heart Association for meeting the exacting nutrition requirements of the Heart-Check Food Certification Program, including being low in saturated and trans fats, cholesterol and sodium, and having over 10% of the Daily Value of essential nutrients. Beyond Steak was also the first plant-based meat product to receive Good Housekeeping’s Nutritionist-Approved Emblem which assesses food products on nutritional criteria as well as taste, simplicity, convenience and transparency.

“We are pleased by all the momentum around Beyond Steak as it validates the product’s delicious taste and compelling nutritional benefits. Recent data from a regional chain showed that more than 50% of households that bought Beyond Steak were new to the plant-based meat category and 2 out of 3 households repurchased Beyond Steak3, reinforcing that this is a product that is resonating with consumers,” said AK Oghoghomeh, SVP of Global Marketing, Beyond Meat.

The expansion of Beyond Steak follows the recent debut of the newest iteration of Beyond Sausage®, the #1 selling plant-based sausage in retail4. The new Beyond Sausage is an excellent source of protein with 40% less saturated fat than a leading brand of pork sausage and features a meatier texture and taste that is already receiving rave reviews for being, “shockingly better than pork links.”

“As an innovation-based company, we are leaning into this strength as we seek to bolster our position in retail and are excited to be announcing an extension to our burger platform soon,” continued Oghoghomeh.
