About Beyond Meat
Food and Kindred Products, SIC 2000
Beyond Meat develops, manufactures, and markets plant-based meat and beverage alternatives designed to emulate the taste, texture, and nutritional profile of conventional animal protein. The company organizes its product lines around three primary categories—beef, pork, and poultry—offering items such as burgers, sausages, chicken pieces, steaks, and value-added ready-to-heat meals. Customers encompass retail and food-away-from-home channels, including mainstream grocery stores, mass merchandisers, club stores, natural retailers, restaurants, schools, and direct-to-consumer shoppers.
The company operates across the United States and international markets through a network of distributors, broker partners, and direct accounts. Production involves internal facilities and co-manufacturers, alongside third-party logistics and cold storage infrastructure. Operations previously included China prior to ceasing activities there at the end of 2025. Beyond Meat conducts research, development, and administrative activities from its Innovation Center at its Campus Headquarters, though a specific city or regional location for the headquarters is not stated.
