The Beyond Meat Chicken-Style Tenders are showcasing a new recipe and branding as part of the company's commitment to revising its products to give them a clean label formulation.
The updated chicken tender-inspired product is headed to 390 Tesco locations and 218 Sainbury's stores starting in January 2026 to coincide with Veganuary. The product features 16-grams of protein per 100-gram serving and is perfect for tossing into the air fryer or conventional oven for quick enjoyment in a variety of meals and recipes.
Regional Sales manager for Retail UK & Ireland Elaine Moffatt spoke on the Beyond Meat Chicken-Style Tenders saying, "We’re thrilled to be launching Beyond Chicken-Style Tenders into both Tesco and Sainsbury’s stores this January, reaching even more consumers across the UK looking to meet their new year lifestyle goals.”
