EL SEGUNDO, Calif., May 12, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Beyond Meat, Inc. (NASDAQ: BYND), a leader in plant-based meat, today announced its second expansion of product offerings this year at Walmart. This June, Beyond Meatballs\u2122 will be available for the first time at 2,100 Walmart stores in which Beyond Meat products are already sold across the country. This rollout is the second major Beyond Meat expansion at Walmart in 2021<\/u><\/a>, following the launch of Beyond Sausage\u00ae<\/sup> Hot Italian and Cookout Classic\u2122 in stores earlier this year.<\/p>\n

As demand for plant-based meat options continues to grow, Beyond Meat has increased retail momentum across the U.S.<\/u><\/a>, Europe<\/u><\/a>, Australia and other global markets in an effort to increase worldwide accessibility to delicious plant-based meat products made without GMOs. As the key summer grilling season kicks off, consumers have continued to make their preference for Beyond Meat products clear: according to the latest SPINS and NPD data, Beyond Meat is the #1 selling plant-based meat brand in the refrigerated category at U.S. grocery stores1<\/sup> and across U.S. total foodservice2<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt Beyond Meat, we are proud to offer a growing portfolio of plant-based meat products that enables us to expand our retail presence.

Conveniently pre-seasoned with a signature blend of Italian spices, pre-rolled and ready to cook, Beyond Meatballs are designed to deliver the authentic Italian meatball experience but have 30% less saturated fat and sodium than a leading brand of animal-based Italian-style meatballs.<\/p>\n
