Beyond Meat has introduced its Beyond Burger and Beyond Beef IV, at Erewhon locations across Southern California. Erewhon, a popular and upscale grocery chain that has gained significant attention on social media, has long been known for its focus on organic and sustainably sourced food. Its high-profile image and loyal customer base make it an ideal venue for these plant-based products, as they seek to reach a health-conscious, trend-focused audience.
High protein, heart-healthy fats
These products are the first plant-based meats to receive certification from the Clean Label Project, a certification program that highlights foods made with simple ingredients and free from harmful additives.
Both products offer 21 grams of protein per serving and are made with ingredients such as yellow peas, red lentils, and faba beans. They also feature avocado oil, a source of heart-healthy fats, and contain no genetically modified organisms (GMOs), cholesterol, or added hormones or antibiotics.
Erewhon, which has been in operation since 1968, is known for its commitment to organic and ethically sourced foods. The retailer supports local growers and maintains strict quality standards across its product offerings. It also holds Certified B Corp status, a designation given to businesses that meet rigorous social and environmental performance standards.
Recent developments at Beyond
The retail expansion of the Beyond Burger and Beyond Beef products follows a busy period for Beyond Meat, which has recently made headlines for several strategic moves, including the launch of a debt reduction initiative and an expanded partnership with Walmart to increase the availability of select products.
Ethan Brown, founder and CEO of Beyond Meat, stated, “We’re proud to bring our delicious Beyond Burger and Beyond Beef to the Erewhon community. These products reflect our shared goals with Erewhon—delivering strong macronutrients, using high-quality ingredients, and supporting sustainable sourcing practices that are beneficial for both people and the planet.”
