Jan 10, 2022 By MarketDepth
Yum Brands Inc. (NYSE:YUM) subsidiary, Pizza Hut is set to permanently add Beyond Meat’s plant-based sausage to their menus within all of their Canadian restaurants, starting Monday. Available on three Beyond meat dishes, the plant-based Italian Sausage crumbles were created to have the same meaty texture and taste that customers are used to in the restaurant’s traditional Italian pork sausage.
“After seeing great excitement from Pizza Hut fans across Toronto and Edmonton last summer, we’re beyond thrilled to give Canadian fans everywhere the opportunity to try and fall in love with these Beyond Meat menu items. Pizza Hut and Beyond Meat have a shared vision to innovate new and exciting products that will delight our guests. Beyond Italian Sausage, Crumbles offer a delicious plant-based twist on our classic pork sausage that you’ll have to taste to believe.”
Amy Rozinsky, Head of Consumer Marketing, Pizza Hut Canada
Yum Brands announced an official partnership with Beyond Meat, approximately a year ago in order to provide exclusive plant-based meat to Taco Bell, KFC as well as Pizza Hut. Furthermore, KFC is also launching its Beyond Fried Chicken throughout the U.S. on Monday, as a means of attracting more customers.
Three Options Available
The three available Pizza Hut menu items are: The Great Beyond™, Beyond Italian Sausage™ Alfredo Loaded Flatbread and Beyond Creamy Alfredo. Moreover, Beyond Sausage Crumbles can be added as a topping to any existing pizza offerings as well.
“With the combined strength of our brands, we are continuing to increase the accessibility of plant-based protein for Canadians everywhere. At Beyond Meat, we believe that small changes like choosing plant-based protein on your favourite pizza can make a positive impact on human health and the health of our planet.”
