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.

Everything these woke-lib SOBs touch gets destroyed or turns to crap...no pun intended. CrackerBarrel recently added the same woke crap to their menu.
At least Micky Ds has enough sense to who their customer base is and dump the stuff. CrackerBarrel execs are probably not as intelligent. We shall see.
I would sooner lick a donkey’s rear as eat fake meat that’s really just compressed garbage.
I’ll still with eating real meat & drinking water instead.
Beyond Meat is the first step towards Soylent Green! Food is grown or raised, not engineered in a lab. I hope many investors lose their shirts on this so they can learn a lesson!
I’ll stick to Sweeney Todd brand meat pies, thank you.
Another Orwellian trick flops. It doesn’t make any difference how this stuff tastes - it still isn’t meat. Americans love meat and our enemies hate whatever we love.
This one was easy to predict.
Vegan meat is a LIE!
Check the ingredients. The percentage of vegans in it is near zero.
This stuff is all chemicals. Vegetarians do not want food that tastes like meat, made with chemicals and people who eat meat want real meat. Personally no meat or beyond meat for me. I eat more of a Mediterranean diet which is why I am 5 feet seven inches and 128 lbs. Thank you very much!
Personally I can’t understand why so many vegetarians want products that ‘taste like’ meat- then just eat the meat!!
I don’t undestannd mock oocktails lol.
You are in luck.
The world’s largest cricket processing facility just opened in Ontario.
Ok not enough coffee but I also don’t drink alcohol. That is a suuper power.
Cow pies are beef processed plants.
I would only eat American made cricket.
They've got cultured chicken breast meat production costs down to $1.70/lb so far. It's only good for chopper and formed type meat replacement. Chicken nuggets etc because they can't duplicate the texture of muscle.
Oh for cripes sake hear it the latest wacko theoey...meat is going to be banned..
When?
The next big lefty food idea is bugs; cricket fries, June bug goobers, worms in a blanket... They won’t give up trying to cram their crap down our throats.
Bill Gates bought all that land to grow CRAP(fake meat) like this ,LOL
Not surprisingly, the reason sometimes being cited
Not sometimes, always.
