Why can’t you build meat directly from plants? Thus, we make plant-based meats that allow families to eat more, not less, of the traditional dishes they love while feeling great about the health, sustainability, and animal welfare benefits of plant protein. Our goal is to bring exciting change to the plate—and Beyond.</div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:10pt;">We believe there’s a better way to feed our future.  By shifting from animal to plant-based meat, we can positively affect the planet, the environment, the climate and even ourselves. After all, the positive choices we make every day – no matter how small – can have a great impact on our world.  Our plant-based meats are made with intention. We combine expert innovation with simple, non-GMO ingredients to deliver the meaty experience you crave without the compromise. Did we mention that each of our products is a good source of protein? It’s true. Plus, there’s no cholesterol, no antibiotics and no hormones. </span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:10pt;">At Beyond Meat, we are focused on raising the bar on talent.
