Beyond Meat: Combatting the Misconception that Plant-Based Foods are Unhealthy
Beyond Meat (BYND) has recently expanded its selection of plant-based “Crumbles” product line, earning certification from the American Heart Association’s Heart-Check program and the American Diabetes Association’s Better Choices for Life program. The company aims to emphasize the health benefits of its products with these new additions.
In a recent interview with Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi, CEO Ethan Brown discussed the company’s latest health-oriented products and their overall market strategy. Brown emphasizes that their plant-based foods are not highly processed, as they are often portrayed, and highlights the support they have received from nutrition and medical communities.
