California-Based Brand Uncut’s ‘Meatiest’ Meat-Free Burgers Are Heading to 300 Supermarkets This Year

More than 300 U.S. supermarkets are about to start stocking plant-based meat from Before the Butcher, under the company's label Uncut.

The California-based brand says its meat-free burgers and sausages, marketed under the Uncut label, are headed to Albertsons, Vons, and Pavilions supermarkets.

“Our retail footprint is expanding rapidly because retailers recognize the value of offering a plant-based meat brand with four different choices to suit different consumer tastes and provide menu variety,” Before the Butcher president and founder, Danny O’Malley said in a statement. “We expect to double retail distribution again over the next few months.”

The New York Times recently ranked UNCUT products as the "meatiest" out of six plant-based burgers in a group taste test, beating out both the Beyond Burger and the Impossible Burger, the two leaders in the space.

The Uncut brand includes a beef-like burger as well as vegan chicken and turkey burgers, and a meatless sausage. The company says its meatless meats are made from a proprietary blend of GMO-free soy, coconut oil, canola oil, and natural seasoning.

"Each serving contains 6 to 21 grams of plant protein, has significantly less sodium than other meatless burgers at just 210-350 mg, and delivers the meaty flavor, chew and bite that have made the animal versions a staple of the American diet," the company noted.

Before the Butcher also supplies foodservice companies with bulk vegan ground beef, chorizo, a plant-based pulled pork, sausage, chicken, beef strips, and burgers.
