About

Beyond Meat is a pioneer in plant-based meat alternatives, producing burgers, sausages, ground meat, chicken alternatives, and jerky made from pea protein, mung beans, fava beans, and other plant ingredients that aim to replicate the taste, texture, and nutritional profile of conventional animal protein. Founded in 2009 in Los Angeles by Ethan Brown and publicly listed on NASDAQ in 2019 (in one of the most anticipated food IPOs in years), Beyond Meat reached a peak market capitalization of over $10 billion before experiencing a severe reversal as consumer demand for plant-based meat proved weaker than the initial hype suggested.
