Beyond Meat Rival Impossible Foods Makes a Big Push Into Canadian Restaurants

Just a few weeks after it introduced Impossible Burgers to some of Canada's leading restaurants, Impossible Foods, privately held rival of Beyond Meat (NASDAQ: BYND), declared its plans to greatly expand availability of its products in the northern country. At that time, the plant-based meats saw their debut at several "world-class restaurants," including Joe Beef, Patois, Hog Shack Cookhouse, Gold Standard, and others. The rollout beginning yesterday at 200 fast-casual restaurant locations, however, marks the start of permanent availability of Impossible Burger across Canada, according to the company press release.
