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.

Crap has so much sodium and nitrates in it. Way unhealthy.
Like every ‘alternative’, it’s worse than the real thing. Otherwise it would be the real thing.

The trial was not a faithful implementation of Biden Beef. You are supposed to wash it down with a can of New Coke.
Too bad the trial run for the new French Fries recipe didn't end the same way.

Oh, no doubt they will, and at some point, they won’t give us a choice about it.

Chem Burger because Beyond Meat is made in a laboratory. This was prep for lab grown insects that they will force on us.
