The Beyond Chicken Plant-Based Chicken Tenders are being launched by Beyond Meat as a retail product for shoppers to pick up when looking for an alternative option to enjoy in place of chicken varieties. The tenders are crafted with 11-grams of plant-based protein and have no GMOs in the mix, while still maintaining a crunchy breading and a juicy bite that is quite similar in texture to chicken. The tenders are reported by the brand to contain 50% less saturated fat than conventional chicken tenders.
The Beyond Chicken Plant-Based Chicken Tenders are positioned to launch at a range of mainstream retailers starting in October and will retail for $4.99 for an eight-ounce package. The tenders are pre-cooked and ready to eat in under 10-minutes.
