Nature’s Fynd Fungi-Based Meat + Beyond Meat Chicken Tenders

Xtalks Food Industry Podcast

Will a fungi-based meat backed by Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos and Al Gore gain traction in the alt meat market? In this episode of the Xtalks Food Podcast, Sydney discusses Nature’s Fynd, a fungi-based meat copmany whose main source of protein is derived from a volcanic microbe from Yellowstone National Park. With heavy competition and a potentially hefty price, will its novelty be enough to attract consumers?

Also in this episode, Mira talks about Beyond Meat’s new Chicken Tenders being rolled out in restaurants nationwide. The launch comes after ten years or research and development, following an unseuccessful launch of a previous faux chicken product in 2012. The team discusses where plant-based chicken fits into the “chicken sandwich wars” and whether they would try Beyond Meat’s Chicken Tenders.
