Its famous early 1990s “Beef: it’s what’s for dinner” spots, backed by music from Aaron Copland’s Rodeo suite, are among the most iconic TV commercials of all time.

It sold its stake ahead of Beyond Meat’s IPO and launched its own range of plant-based protein blended with real meat.

There’s also no pork or beef giant that’s taken the antibiotic-free leap like Perdue did for chicken. Much of that growth will come from the already robust plant-based meat industry, the report said, but several conglomerates have also invested hundreds of millions to develop lab-grown meat – meat produced in bioreactors without the need to slaughter animals.Big meat and food conglomerates threaten to push out smaller producers of meat alternatives in the same way they have affected other food industries, according to two recent reports. A handful of companies have taken over the meat industry in the past 50 years: Tyson, JBS, and Cargill, Brazilian company BRF, and European company Vion.
