EL SEGUNDO, Calif. — Beyond Meat has debuted a new product line with the introduction of Beyond Sun Sausage.
Filled with wholesome ingredients from vegetables, fruits and legumes, including spinach, bell peppers, yellow peas, brown rice, red lentils and faba beans, the tasty and healthy new product is not intended to replicate beef, pork or poultry but rather be its own delicious, satisfying protein option that comes in three bold, culinary-forward flavors: Cajun, Pesto and Pineapple Jalapeño.
Made with avocado oil, which is high in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats1, Beyond Sun Sausage offers 12g of clean protein per link, is low in saturated fat with just 1g per serving and has 0mg of cholesterol with no added antibiotics or hormones. This impressive nutritional profile meets the rigorous guidelines of leading health organizations, earning Beyond Sun Sausage certification from the American Heart Association's Heart-Check program and the Better Choices for Life program of the American Diabetes Association.
From pastas, salads and sandwiches to frittatas, bowls and pizzas, Beyond Sun Sausage is a flavorful, versatile and convenient option to add clean, healthy protein at breakfast, lunch or dinner.
As part of Beyond Meat’s mission to make tasty, nutritious and sustainable plant-based eating more accessible, the company recently released its first cookbook, Serve Love, a free collection of heart-healthy Beyond Meat recipes certified by the American Heart Association’s Heart-Check program. These recipes, which meet the American Heart Association’s strict nutrition requirements around calories, saturated fat, sodium and added sugar, give consumers the confidence to know that when they’re preparing these meals, they’re making something that will not only taste great but be great for their health too.
The debut of Beyond Sun Sausage follows the recent health-focused reformulation of Beyond Meat’s core Beyond Burger, Beyond Beef and Beyond Sausage products in US retail. Now made with avocado oil, Beyond Meat was able to substantially reduce the saturated fat in these core products without sacrificing taste or flavor thanks to avocado oil’s smoother, more neutral palate.
Beyond Sun Sausage is currently available at all Sprouts Farmers Market stores across the country, and the new Beyond Burger, Beyond Beef and Beyond Sausage in eye-catching gold packaging are available at all major retailers nationwide.
