EL SEGUNDO, Calif., June 20, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Beyond Meat, Inc.

This exciting announcement follows the debut of the new Beyond Burger and Beyond Beef, the most significant renovation in the company's history.
"The new Beyond Sausage is incredibly juicy, meaty, and delicious, and I love that it's made with heart-healthy avocado oil, helping to lower the saturated fat to just 2g per link! Plus, it has less sodium than the previous version and features a simplified ingredient list. Beyond Meat is truly pioneering the future of superior plant-based meat products," said Joy Bauer, renowned registered dietitian, #1 NYT bestselling author, and Beyond Meat nutrition advisor.

An excellent source of protein, now with 17g per serving

Featured in a collection of heart-healthy recipes certified by the American Heart Association's Heart-Check program
