This trend was

also confirmed by Beyond Meat Executive Chairman Seth Goldman in a Plant Based

News exclusive earlier this month.

Can't 'keep

up'

Discussing

the Beyond Sausage - which is currently only offered at Whole Foods - he told

PBN Founder Klaus Mitchell: "We are not able to keep up with the demand just in

that chain.

"It's gunna

be a while before it makes it over to Europe."

New

facilities

Due to the

explosive demand, Beyond Meat recently announced plans to open new production

facilities - which will effectively triple the brand's production capacity and

allow for an expanded range of products.
