"Whether scaling products and infrastructure for our strategic quick serve restaurant partners, bringing new product to retail markets, or investing in innovation, commercialization, and production capabilities here in the U.S., EU, and China, we believe we are steadily executing against our vision of being tomorrow's global protein company," said Beyond Meat President and CEO Ethan Brown. "As we continue to advance the field of plant-based meat through innovation and bold investment in domestic and global operations, the consumer is only being made more aware of the relevance and urgency of our mission." Other food giants that aren't wholly-focused on plant proteins, but that are consistently increasing their exposure to the sector are Tyson Foods, Inc. (NYSE:TSN) and Kellogg Company (NYSE:K). Tyson Foods, Inc. (NYSE:TSN) in particular is a "recognized leader in protein".
