EL SEGUNDO, Calif., Sept. 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Beyond Meat, Inc. (NASDAQ:BYND), also known as Beyond the Plant Protein Company™, today announced the launch of the Phytosphere, a portfolio of products designed to make it easier to access the superpowers of plants. Available at the newly launched www.BeyondPlantProtein.com, the portfolio brings together powders, bars, beverages, and center-of-plate offerings in an integrated nutrition platform that allows consumers to stack nutrients—from plant protein and fiber to polyphenols and phytosterols—across the course of their day and week.

"The nutritive benefits of plants are extraordinary, yet we often fail to get meaningful amounts of these superpowers in our modern diet," said Ethan Brown, Founder and CEO of Beyond Meat. "The Phytosphere portfolio invites the consumer into a world where access to powerful phytonutrition is cutting edge, delicious, and convenient. As with our innovation more generally, we are building out the Phytosphere portfolio with our consumers, and for our consumers, and have been looking forward to this launch."
