Starting May 3, Beyond Meat will roll out the newest version of its vegan Beyond Burger at retailers nationwide. The new iteration of the plant-based burger aims to better compete with animal-derived beef in a number of ways. The new Beyond Burger has 35 percent less saturated fat (and 35 percent less overall fat) than an 80/20 beef patty. The new patty is fortified with B vitamins and minerals comparable to the nutritional profile of beef. Whereas the brand’s original Beyond Burger was sold in two-patty packs, the new iteration will be available in both two-patty packs and bulk four-patty packs ($9.99) to better compete with the price of beef. The new vegan meat will also be offered as a one-pound Beyond Beef pack later this summer.
