Beyond Meat’s sales have fizzled rather than sizzled after fast-food trials of its product had customers asking, “Where’s the beef?”
McDonald’s is the latest fast-food giant to complete a trial of a Beyond Meat plant-based product (the McPlant burger).
JPMorgan Chase & Co. analyst Ken Goldman released a market research note that indicated the product was being broadly discontinued in the U.S. last Thursday. The two companies signed a three-year global distribution deal in 2021.
Mr. Goldman, who spoke with employees at 25 McDonald’s locations, wrote that “Not surprisingly, the reason sometimes being cited is that the product did not sell well enough” and that the product was “McDone” in the U.S., according to The Fly, a financial news site.
Other trials at Panda Express and Yum! Brands (KFC, Taco Bell, and Pizza Hut) have also ended without a subsequent product launch. Beyond Meat products at Dunkin’, Hardee’s, and A&W have been discontinued after launching.

It’s because real meat is delicious and Phony plant ‘meat’ isn’t.
Klaus will be sooo disappointed.
Maybe that’s it right there. They don’t want anyone to experience the finer things in life. They want everyone to be as miserable as they are. Screw them.
Not sure what the fuss is about. While we’re busy arguing about wind mills and electric cars, they’re now killing off cattle by the hundreds of millions.
Bottom line, it may not be Beyond Meat, but soon meat will be a thing of the past, and we’ll have find eat other foods.
They don’t plan to give us a choice.
Well, obviously, the problem here is that they are still selling real beef. Get rid of those climate-polluting gas bag burgers, and give the people the nice yummy seaweed patty we’re being pushed into eating!
Yum! I’ll have mine with extra buggy sauce!
Gosh, better stock up on that fake meat now before it’s all gone.
The eating scene from “Soylent Green”. This future is just
around the corner!

Charlton Heston and Edward G. Robinson gave a masterful performance.
These “green” people are S - I - C - K.
Plants failed?
Let’s try bugs!
Maybe if they added meat to their product...
Just sayin.
Need a relaunch and a new name that fits today's green agenda.
Soya Green? Soylent Green is too obvious.
Yeh, starting with a stupid name. Wonder who thought up McPlant? Dumb, dumb, dumb…
Sure you’ll have a choice.
Wait for the New McBug Burger
(McPlant)
Seriously? 😮
The only way to make plants taste like meat is to use tons of salt and artificial flavorings.
I really wonder how “healthy” these foods are with all of the added flavors.
“Among popular meat alternatives, seitan, Beyond Burgers, and Impossible Burgers are highest in sodium, protein, and calories.“
Might as well eat the real thing. Seems more healthier.
Yeah that’s incredibly bad....
The fake meat products also have alarming amounts of estrogen like chemicals that suppress production of normal sex hormones. Like everything else pushed by the woke and the ruling class, they are harmful.
Next will be the McBug burger...yummmm
Post covid lockdown when I went to the grocery store, the fresh meat section was completely empty but the beyond meat section was completely full and untouched.
Let gates eat that crap and bugs.
Load up a “burger” with lettuce, tomato, cheese, mustard, ketchup, onion, mayo, dill pickles, on a sesame seed bun and you could be eating a folded, used diaper.
