Beyond Meat said it struck deals to supply plant-based meat imitations to McDonald’s, KFC and Pizza Hut, a victory in the company’s effort to take meat alternatives into the American dining mainstream

The deals boost Beyond’s prospects as more restaurants resume in-person dining, after Covid-19 forced shutdowns and restrictions on eating out over the past year. The pandemic’s blow to the food-service industry hurt Beyond’s business,Beyond reported Thursday a $25.1 million loss for 2020’s fourth quarter, as restaurant orders remained sluggish.

Beyond, founded in 2009, processes yellow pea protein, canola oil, potato starch and other ingredients to produce patties and sausages meant to mimic the taste, appearance and feel of traditional meat. Along with competitor Impossible Foods Inc., the companies have pitched their high-tech faux meats as an animal- and environment-friendly option for consumers that have been more open to “flexitarian” diets.

For plant-based food makers like Beyond and Impossible, teaming up with burger chains has represented a way to take meat-free products beyond a health-food niche, to be sold in familiar forms at thousands of restaurant locations across the country. Yum’s partnership with Beyond will focus on creating new menu items that expand on the companies’ earlier introductions, which included Beyond-made fried chicken tested by KFC in 2019, and Beyond-made toppings launched in 2020 at Pizza Hut. Mr. Brown said that Beyond wasn’t likely to generate many sales from the new ventures until the end of 2021.

Actually very good!

Sad to say that if you really want to sell hamburgers - or their substitutes - the only true mass market is fast food. That is why we are 40% obese btw.

It's the exact same ingredients as meat free cat food isn't it? Just processed to look a little different.

Well it is processed frankenfood, makes sense that they are selling it in those establishments!
