Beyond Meat and PepsiCo have launched Beyond Meat Jerky. The plant-based jerky is the first product from the companies' joint-venture, Planet Partnership, LLC.
Rolling out at stores nationwide this month, Beyond Meat Jerky offers a full-flavored, on-the-go snack experience that furthers Beyond Meat and PepsiCo's shared passion for creating products that are better for both people and the planet, according to Planet Partnership.
Beyond Meat Jerky is marinated and slow roasted to offer the experience of traditional beef jerky in three flavors: Original, Hot & Spicy, and Teriyaki. It contains 10 grams of protein per serving, no cholesterol, and is made with ingredients like peas and mung beans, all without GMOs, soy, or gluten.
Available in three sizes, the jerky is Beyond Meat's first shelf-stable product, unlocking new channels of distribution with availability everywhere from grocery stores to gas stations, and club stores to pharmacies.
“The nationwide launch of Beyond Meat's Jerky will make plant-based meat accessible to millions of households,” said Dan Moisan, CEO of Planet Partnership, in a statement. “It tastes great, is a good source of protein, and is convenient to eat whether you're on the go, at the office, or out on adventures."
