Organic food ingredient manufacturer NutriFusion has signed an agreement with plant-based meat substitute producer Beyond Meat.
As part of this development, Beyond Meat will roll out NutriFusion's nutrient-rich food ingredient, GrandFusion vegetable blend into two product lines such as Beast Burgers and Beastly Sliders.
The Beast Burgers and Beastly Sliders are claimed to be 100% plant based and incorporate all the protein and iron of beef packed with antioxidants, ALA omegas, calcium, Vitamins B-6, B-12 and potassium.
The company says its beast line is 100% gluten-free, soy-free, and made without GMO ingredients.
Beyond Meat co-founder and CEO Ethan Brown said: "We are building 'The Future of Protein' and the Beast Burger and Beastly Sliders are significant steps in that direction.
"NutriFusion made it possible to meet our nutritional goals without using synthetic ingredients, which is a benefit that consumers value."
NutriFusion offers rich whole-food nutritional blends from fresh fruits and vegetables void of any synthetic additives, excipients or preservatives, the company stated.
Its GrandFusion will help food processors to add natural nutrients to a wide variety of finished food products.
