Beyond (Meat) On Why It Rebranded & What’s Next For Plant Protein
Green Queen • Mar 24, 2026
Beyond Meat has rebranded to Beyond The Plant Protein Company to reflect its expansion into whole-food proteins and drinks, moving beyond meat-mimicking products. Despite struggles with decreasing sales, the company has expanded its distribution, raised funds, and launched new products like fava bean mince and protein drinks. The rebrand aims to shift focus from mimicry to high-quality plant protein offerings, allowing room for growth beyond meat alternatives.
While some marketing experts are skeptical about the name change, others view it as a smart move as the plant-based meat market faces challenges. Beyond Meat's CEO believes that the company's new direction towards plant-based protein options aligns with evolving consumer needs. With sales of plant-based meat declining, Beyond Meat hopes that its repositioning as a plant protein company will help it regain the fame it once had in the late 2010s.
