Beyond Beef has landed in Canada!

It’s official, Canada has become the first country outside of the U.S. to offer Beyond Beef!

This summer we successfully launched the Beyond Burger in retail stores across Canada and in less than six months distribution has grown to more than 4,000 stores. Now, we’re offering even more options at the fresh meat counter - Beyond Beef! 

Canadians will now be able to bring the benefits of our plant-based ground straight to their plate. Compared to regular ground beef, Beyond Beef offers:

• A complete source of protein with 18g per 100g serving
• More iron 
• 35% less saturated fat
• Less total fat
• No cholesterol, antibiotics or hormones

“We are excited to bring our latest product innovation to Canadians, welcoming a growing number of consumers to the delicious taste and nutritional and environmental benefits of our plant-based proteins,” said Ethan Brown, Beyond Meat Founder and CEO. 

Beyond Beef encompasses the versatility to elevate every meal with plant-based goodness. It’s a blank slate for any recipe, ready to season and spice to perfection making it ideal for homemade meals like tacos, meatballs, chili, pasta and more. The options are endless with Beyond Beef.
