EL SEGUNDO, Calif., April 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Beyond Meat, Inc. (NASDAQ: BYND), otherwise known as Beyond The Plant Protein Company™, today announced the nationwide rollout of its latest Beyond Breakfast Sausage lineup at major retailers including Kroger and Sprouts Farmers Market, with Whole Foods Market coming soon.
As protein continues to dominate consumer nutrition priorities—with 70% of Americans actively trying to increase intake and nearly half prioritizing protein at breakfast2—the brand is leaning into the morning occasion with great-tasting and convenient plant protein options made from clean ingredients designed to help consumers fuel their day.
The new lineup includes Beyond Breakfast Sausage Links and Beyond Breakfast Sausage Patties in Original and Spicy. Crafted with simple ingredients and heart-healthy avocado oil,3 the products deliver craveable flavor with strong nutrition—featuring 7–9g of plant protein per serving with just 0.5g of saturated fat and no cholesterol—making them a satisfying, better-for-you breakfast option.

Made without GMOs, these new offerings are the first plant-based breakfast sausages to earn Clean Label Project Certification. The Clean Label Project awards certification to products that meet its rigorous standards for purity and transparency through comprehensive, independent testing.
