03 Jan 2019 --- Beyond Meat is partnering with Carl’s Jr. to launch a plant-based burger, The Beyond Famous Star, to keep pace with the growing appetite for flexitarian food. Hailed as “a first-of-its-kind” flexitarian take on the Carl’s Jr. Famous Star, with a 100 percent plant-based patty from Beyond Meat, the quarter-pound patty is cooked on an open flame in Carl’s Jr.’s Charbroiler. The move comes as the number of people following plant-based diets continues to rise with an increase in vegetarians, vegans and flexitarians around the world. It also coincides with Nestlé’s reported spring launch of a plant-based meat-free burger as the food giant plans to capitalize on the popularity of plant-based products.
