Beyond Meat has introduced its latest innovation, Sun Sausage, marking a departure from traditional meat replicas. Unlike its previous products that mimic beef, pork, or poultry, Sun Sausage is Beyond Meat’s first plant-based offering designed to stand on its own. This new product features whole, clean ingredients like spinach, bell peppers, brown rice, and red lentils, and is available in three flavors: Pineapple Jalapeno, Pesto, and Cajun. You can find Sun Sausage exclusively at Sprouts Farmers Markets nationwide.
The launch of Sun Sausage comes as Beyond Meat faces ongoing financial challenges, including an eighth consecutive quarter of declining revenue reported in May. Despite these difficulties, CEO Ethan Brown remains hopeful about the company’s future, particularly with new heart-healthy products like Sun Sausage potentially revitalizing the brand. The product is crafted with avocado oil and protein sources such as fava beans, aligning with Beyond Meat’s commitment to healthier offerings.
Sun Sausage has received endorsements from the American Heart Association and the American Diabetes Association, recognizing its nutritional benefits. Diana Stavaridis, Beyond Meat’s senior culinary manager, expressed enthusiasm for the product, highlighting its uniqueness in the plant-based market.
As part of its strategy to address health concerns, Beyond Meat has recently revamped its product line to reduce saturated fat. However, the company continues to navigate a challenging landscape where interest in plant-based meat and seafood has waned, partly due to higher prices and concerns about processed ingredients.
