Beyond Meat expands in the UK through Sainsbury partnership

Beyond Meat announced its plant-based meat burgers are now available in 372 Sainsbury stores and 41 Gourmet Burger Kitchen restaurants in the United Kingdom, as part of its efforts to boost its presence in the country, Reuters reported.

Chuck Moth, Beyond Meat's chief growth officer said the UK is part of the company's long-term growth strategy in Europe.

Earlier this year, Beyond Meat secured partnerships with UK-based Ocado, Holland & Barrett, and JD Wetherspoon.

This announcement comes after Beyond Meat said its plant-based burger patties will be available in 2,400 Walmart stores in the United States.

Beyond Meat's plant-based burger patties, which mimics the taste of beef, are made from peas, mung bean, and rice.
