Beyond Meat’s entry into Brazil comes days after the company made its retail debut in China, with listings at 50 of Alibaba’s Freshippo supermarkets in Shanghai. A further 48 outlets across Beijing and Hangzhou are to follow in September.
Last month, the company officially opened its new European co-manufacturing facility in the Dutch town of Zoeterwoude. Beyond Meat has also bought a plant in the Netherlands to expand its production.
