BEIJING (CHINA) – Beyond Meat Inc on Tuesday unveiled plant-based minced pork in China.
The company said its latest product, Beyond Pork, will initially be available at five popular restaurants in Shanghai.
China, the world’s top pork consumer, is now focusing on food security as the coronavirus outbreak has affected the supply of meat from international companies.
Beyond Meat, whose shares have surged over 60% since its inception a year ago, has emerged as a top supplier to fast-food chains in hurry to get vegetarian products on their menus.
