As part of a joint venture called Planet Partnership, plant-based protein company Beyond Meat and food giant PepsiCo have created a plant-based jerky.
Made from peas and mung beans free of GMOs, soy or gluten, the Beyond Meat Jerky is said to taste just like traditional beef jerky and comes in three flavours: Original, Hot & Spicy and Teriyaki.
“We are thrilled to introduce the first product from Planet Partnership, our joint venture with Beyond Meat and PepsiCo,” says Dan Moisan, CEO of Planet Partnership. “The nationwide launch of Beyond Meat Jerky will make plant-based meat accessible to millions of households. It tastes great, it’s a good source of protein, and it’s convenient to eat whether you’re on the go, at the office or out on adventures.”
Not only is Beyond Meat Jerky the first product to debut from the two companies’ joint-venture, Planet Partnership, but it is also Beyond Meat’s first shelf-stable product, enabling the expansion of distribution and availability of their offerings.
