よくある質問

Is a Beyond Burger vegan in restaurants?

The patty is, but the assembled burger often is not. Chains regularly serve it with dairy cheese, mayonnaise or a milk-containing brioche bun, and many cook it on the same grill as beef. Order it plain and ask for the vegan bun and sauce.

Is Beyond Meat healthier than beef?

It is cholesterol-free and lower in saturated fat than most beef mince, but it is still a processed food that is relatively high in sodium. Treat it as a transition and convenience food rather than a daily staple, with beans, lentils and tofu doing the everyday work.
