Beyond Meat has launched new Beyond Breakfast Sausage Links. | Beyond Meat
Sausages are a breakfast staple. They’re also great on the grill, in a casserole, or with pasta and lots of tomatoes. To meet the growing demand for more plant-based foods, a number of brands are churning out vegan sausage products.
California-based Beyond Meat revolutionized the vegan food scene with its pea protein-based meat. Its latest product? Beyond Breakfast Sausage Links.
Featuring a “signature blend” of savory herbs and spices, the vegan sausage links are available in major retailers like Sprouts, Albertsons, select Kroger stores, and Whole Foods Market.
“With demand for plant-based breakfast options continuing to rise and more of us eating breakfast at home, we knew the segment was ripe for innovation,” Stuart Kronauge, Beyond Meat’s chief marketing officer, said in a statement.
This is the company’s fourth retail product launch this year. It follows the release of its Beyond Breakfast Sausage Patties, Cookout Classic, and Beyond Meatballs.
Beyond Meat’s breakfast sausage patties are available in original and spicy flavors. The company also offers Beyond Beef, Beyond Burger patties, Beyond Beef Crumbles, and Beyond Sausage. The latter comes in flavors of Brat Original, Hot Italian, and Sweet Italian.
