Trends In Food: KFC To Offer “Plant-Based” Chicken Produced By Beyond Meat In Atlanta

A single KFC franchise — the one near the SunTrust Park baseball stadium in Atlanta — will, starting Tuesday, offer meatless chicken from the plant-based food company Beyond Meat. The deal makes KFC the first fast-food restaurant to serve plant-based chicken.
It’s a huge step forward for both companies — and for chickens, nearly 50 billion of which are raised in factory farms in the US annually.
