Beyond Meat, Inc.

Beyond Meat is a plant-based meat company that offers a range of plant-based meat products and other plant-based food and beverage items. The company aims to provide consumers with plant-based meat products that mimic the taste, texture, and sensory qualities of animal-based meats, while offering nutritional and environmental advantages. Beyond Meat's brand promise is "Eat What You Love." The company addresses four global issues: human health, climate change, natural resource constraints, and animal welfare, by promoting a shift from animal-based to plant-based meat. Beyond Meat has developed three core plant-based product platforms that correspond to the largest global meat categories: beef, pork, and poultry. The company creates its plant-based meat products by using proprietary scientific processes to replicate the architecture of animal-based meat, assembling them from plant-derived amino acids, lipids, carbohydrates, trace minerals, and water. Beyond Meat continuously works to improve its products to be indistinguishable from animal-based counterparts to the human sensory system and to be nutritionally dense with fewer negative attributes compared to animal protein alternatives. With over 17 years of experience, the company also plans to expand its product portfolio to include plant-based foods and beverages that provide taste and macronutrients using clean, limited ingredients.
