The Beyond Breakfast Sausage range has been unveiled by Beyond Meat Inc. as its latest lineup of plant-based meat products that are positioned to shake up the breakfast category. The product range focused on plant-based protein without losing sight of taste, texture and convenience to strike a balance that will work well in a variety of breakfast-focused recipes. The products include the Original Sausage Links, Original Sausage Patties and the Spicy Sausage Patties, which are each made with a plant-based recipe with seven to nine-grams of protein per serving.
Founder and CEO Ethan Brown spoke on the Beyond Breakfast Sausage range saying, "We’re thrilled to bring our new Beyond Breakfast Sausage lineup to retailers nationwide, giving consumers more opportunities to fuel their bodies with these Clean Label Project Certified products. By combining great taste with thoughtfully chosen ingredients, we’re making it easier than ever to start your day with Beyond."
