Reconsidering Beyond Meat

Richard Berman has an interesting opinion piece about Beyond Meat. I didn’t realize that “the Beyond Burger contains almost twice as much fat and 50 percent less protein. It’s also higher in sodium and calories.” It contains chemical additives as well.

Berman concludes with the following:

Is Beyond Meat’s stock due for a belly flop off the high board? Hard to know for sure. But if consumers choose natural over chemical, all these companies are positioned to be nothingburgers.

I recently tried one of these burgers. While I thought it was surprisingly good, I definitely wouldn’t order one over a burger with real meat or a solid veggie burger — and that was before I learned about some of the other issues that Berman has raised.
