BEYOND MEAT

Beyond Meat is a Los Angeles–based producer of plant-based meat substitutes founded in 2009 by Ethan Brown. The company's initial products were launched in the United States in 2012. The company offers plant-based options in the beef, pork, and poultry categories. By shifting from animal to plant-based meat, Beyond Meat aims to positively affect growing global issues such as constraints on natural resources and animal welfare. After all, the positive choices we make every day – no matter how small – can have a great impact on our world. Creating the original Beyond Burger takes significantly less water, land and energy than a ¼ lb U.S. regular beef burger. *Univ.
