At Beyond Meat we believe there is a better way to feed our future and that the positive choices we all make, no matter how small, can have a great impact on our personal health and the health of our planet. By shifting from animal to plant-based meat, we can positively impact four growing global issues: human health, climate change, constraints on natural resources, and animal welfare.
Our process is simple. We source the building blocks of meat directly from plants. Using heating, cooling and pressure, we create the fibrous texture of meat from plant-based proteins. Then, we mix in fats, minerals, fruit and vegetable-based colors, natural flavors, and carbohydrates to replicate the appearance, juiciness, and flavor of meat. The result? Uncompromisingly delicious plant-based burgers, sausage, and beef, no sacrifice required.
Beyond Meat products offer greater or equal protein levels than their animal counterparts, no cholesterol, less saturated fat, and no antibiotics or hormones.

A great alternative
I am so glad this company continues to produce meat alternative products for those of us who love a great burger and wurst, but have to lean away from red and processed meat. I treat it like it is a pound of ground round and the red meat eaters in my house look forward to veggie burger night each week.

In regards the “dog food” reviews.
Yes. this product seems to effect some small % of people (including myself). If you are thinking of trying this don’t worry about the bad reviews.. just try it for yourself.(my review) Oh my god.. when i first smelled it it was very unpleasant. It smelled like I just opened a can of cat/spam food. I couldn’t get over that smell.. it stayed with me as I cooked… but I am a brave guy. I eat anything and just don’t get grossed out.First day:Cook a burger patty. Everytime I took a bite an extremely unpleasant odor enters first and let me tell you… I wish I can explain it. It’s just really off putting. Again, I am a brave guy.. don’t care. I continue eating 1 very unpleasant bite after another.Ok. So I am done with the burger… now I have this very unpleasant aftertaste in my mouth the entire night. It was awful… really, really awful (my constant burping did not help.)Day 2: I am going to do this again differently. Open the bag (that awful weird smell hits me first) Oh my god. it is so awful because it is nothing like I have experienced before… ok. So this time I have indian spices… My goal is to kill the aftertaste. I added enough curry to kill an indian bengal tiger…. sadly, that aftertaste is right there.No day 3. I threw it in the garbage. I am not that brave.In conclusion. I think this effects a small % (from the reviews it seems like around 5%) of people that eat it experience the cat/dog food sensation. The rest of the population don’t seem affected.it’s a shame because the texture was in my opinion perfect and I am leaving a 5 star review because I wish them all the best.Don’t listen to anyone.. try it for yourself.

It’s a good substitute.
I appreciate this company’s effort to provide meat alternatives, and the quality has been improved with the use of avocado oil. Makes it healthier, but it would be better if they offered a product with less ingredients and/or made organic.With that being said, whenever I was to make the dishes I loved involving ground beef, this Beyond Meat product is my go to. Closest thing out there.

Took a chance with soyfree “meat”
I definitely will do an update next time I reorder because I intend to soon. Today I made two very thick burgers with it and it was absolutely delicious, exactly like the real beef burgers! Texture and flavor was on cue, I’m still shocked!! Now I was a little cautious due to other reviews mentioning that bad smell, because I’m one of those people who have a weird sense of smell and certain scents affect me tremendously, but I didn’t get any off putting experience from the product whatsoever. This makes me wonder if these poor souls actually got a bad batch, even that one guy that apparently bought two packs with the same smelly issues.I’ll update my review in about a week along with pictures because it’s a shame these people missed out on such a well formulated vegan product that’s even SOY FREE!! There’re many terrible vegetarian options out there that only true meat haters would eat and the rest of us just tolerate because either we have no choice due to allergies etc but this “meat” is not just okay, it’s so delicious!UPDATE: Couple months later and every week I buy at least 1 package, sometimes I get a couple of the burger shaped packages and I am still having a great experience. The burger shaped sizes are easy to keep stocked frozen. Just plop them on a hot pan straight from the freezer and before you know it, it’s done! I cook mine with a touch of balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper.

Hits the spot
When I first got this I was quite hyped seeing the reviews and the packaging thinkng they may have finally gotten a beef clone. After mildly cooking it I was dissapointed to taste the same taste that I tasted in another protein plant based burger that I had that is quite obviousally different than beef.I put it away and came back to it a few days later in order to fiinish it before it expires. This time I had a different experience. So what if it doesn’t taste exactly like beef and you can identify the difference? That doesn’t make it better or worse. Although it has a distinct flavor, it hits the right spots and satisfies any craving youd have for it. Honestly, if all my beef, if I was stll a meat eater was changed to this, I wouldn’t even care. This makes me quite optimistic of meat subsitutes which I didn’t have in the past. In the past it felt like these meat subsistutes were merely there to help psychologically with the withdrawel symptoms, but honestly this makes me feel like I can have my cake and eat it ,

Plants that tastes like beef – amazing.
My husband was diagnosed with Prostate cancer and after doing research he decided to become Vegan. This is a great substitute for beef. He loves it and uses it in everything where he used to use ground beef. I don’t like the smell of it when I open the package (smells like cat food to me) but it tastes great and is super easy to cook. I literally pull it from the package, squeeze it into four balls, pat them flat, and fry them for very easy burgers (I mean I don’t add anything at all – not an egg or anything). I sometimes sprinkle my burger with Worchester sauce for flavor but it’s not necessary. Taste exactly like a normal burger. I’ve even made shepherds pie with this in place of lamb or beef and it taste great. Warning, these cook on lower heat and for much shorter times than actual ground beef. It can burn easily so watch out.
