Beyond Meat
EL SEGUNDO, Calif. — Beyond Meat, a plant-based meat company, today launched its new Beyond Chicken Tenders. Crafted to look, cook and taste like traditional chicken tenders, the plant-based Beyond Chicken Tenders are breaded.
Consumer demand for chicken is continuing to skyrocket, the company said. In fact, it continued, chicken is so in-demand that the nation is currently facing a shortage.
Like all Beyond Meat products, the company said, Beyond Chicken Tenders are made from simple, plant-based ingredients such as faba beans and peas. With 14g of protein per serving, they’re an excellent source
of protein and have 40% less saturated fat than the leading foodservice chicken tender. Beyond
Chicken Tenders are also made with no GMOs, antibiotics or hormones, and have no cholesterol, Beyond Meat said.
This new product builds on the success of its first plant-based chicken product in 2012. Beyond Meat said nearly 200 research, innovation and culinary team members have spent almost a decade on the Beyond Chicken Tenders.
“We’re innovating the poultry market with the new Beyond Chicken Tenders — the result of our tireless pursuit for excellence and growth at Beyond Meat,” said Dariush Ajami, chief innovation officer at Beyond Meat. “As with all our products, Beyond Chicken Tenders offer delicious taste and an exceptional culinary experience, along with strong nutritional benefits. Innovation is at the heart of Beyond Meat, and Beyond Chicken Tenders are the latest example of our mission to create groundbreaking, tasty options that are better for people and for our planet.”
