Beyond Meat, a manufacturer of plant-based meat substitutes, launched its latest product, Beyond Sausage, expanding its Beyond IV product lineup. It is available for purchase at grocery stores nationwide, including Kroger and Whole Foods Market.

The new Beyond Sausage is made with avocado oil and has 2g of saturated fat (66% less than its predecessor) and 17g of protein per link. Furthermore, it claims to offer an enhanced flavor profile, a meatier texture, and a simplified ingredient list. It is also certified by the American Heart Association's Heart-Check program and the American Diabetes Association's Better Choices for Life program.

Analyst QuickTake: In February 2024 , Beyond Meats released the fourth generation of its products, including improved versions of Beyond Burger and Beyond Beef, through the launch of the Beyond IV product line. The refined products offered new ingredients and reduced sodium content compared to the previous versions. These nutritional improvements were recognized by the American Diabetes Association, the American Heart Association, and Good Housekeeping.
