Beyond Meat&8217;s U.S. retail sales fell 35% despite discounting as shoppers weary from inflation turned to cheaper alternatives. Brown noted that even animal meat producers like Tyson Foods posted losses in the most recent quarter. The lone bright spot for Beyond Meat was international food-service sales, which nearly doubled over the same period last year. McDonald&8217;s introduced plant-based McNuggets in Germany in February and a double McPlant burger in the United Kingdom and Ireland in January. Both products are co-produced with Beyond Meat. El Segundo, California-based Beyond Meat reported revenue of $92.2 million for the January-March period. That was slightly higher than the $91.7 million Wall Street forecast, according to analysts polled by FactSet. The company narrowed its net loss to $59 million, compared to a net loss of $100.5 million in the same period a year ago.
