About Beyond Meat

Beyond Meat is a food company located in Los Angeles, that is focused on the production of plant-based meat substitutes.

Beyond Meat came to existence in 2009, when its founder, Ethan Brown, launched its products in the United States.

The company is known for its range of food products such as chicken strips, burger, sausage, meatballs, jerky and minced meat.

When Brown founded the company, he consulted two University of Missouri professors, Fu-hung Hsieh and Harold Huff, who had a history of developing meatless protein.

In 2014, Beyond Meat won the Company of the Year Award by The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, the same year it launched its first plant-based beef product, Beyond Beef Crumbles.

In 2021, the company began collaborations with Taco Bell and PepsiCo, via a joint venture, called The PLANeT Partnership with the latter to launch market plant-based snacks and drinks.

Beyond Meat later entered partnership deals with McDonald’s and Yum Brands, and launched its Burger menu, pizza toppings, and other chicken alternatives.

Today, Beyond Meat products are sold in many European countries.
