Grill’d and Beyond Meat announced a new collaboration that will see the Australian burger chain offering an upgraded version of the Beyond Burger. The collaboration will see the fourth generation of the Beyond Burger -- the Beyond Burger IV -- being offered at participating locations in Australia with its soy-free, gluten-free and non-GMO recipe in focus. The burger is made with avocado oil, offers 20-grams of protein per serving and is suitable for meat eaters, flexitarians, vegetarians and vegans thanks to its free-from recipe.
Grill'd Founder and Managing Director Simon Crowe commented on the Grill’d and Beyond Meat partnership saying, "We’ve listened to our guests and are excited to now offer Beyond Burger IV, which contains no gluten, no soy and no GMOs. We’re proud to announce a partnership with Beyond Meat across our restaurants nationally, bringing our burger lovers the highest quality, best-tasting plant-based products available."
