Beyond Sausage just hit grocery store shelves across Canada

Just in time for the holiday long weekend, Beyond Sausage has officially hit grocery store shelves across Canada.

Now available at major retailers, the plant-based “pork” sausages provide an option for those craving that Victoria Day at-home BBQ taste, without the actual meat involved.

Beyond Sausage is made from plant-based ingredients without GMOs, soy, or gluten, but still manage to deliver juicy, sizzling satisfaction. The links can be done up in a pan or over the grill, and are available in two flavours: Mild Italian and Hot Italian.

Inside, you get protein from peas and rice, juiciness from coconut oil, meaty colour from beets, and a casing that’s derived from — wait for it — algae.

Compared to a leading pork sausage brand, the Beyond option offers 16g of plant-based protein per serving, which is 2g more than traditional pork, up to 44% less saturated fat, up to 34% less total fat, and up to 52% less sodium.

Plus, the plant-based option has no cholesterol, antibiotics or hormones, and is Kosher and Halal Certified.

You’ll find Beyond Sausage in the fresh meat case of major grocery retailers priced at $9.99.
