Now, Bloomberg Intelligence has released a ground breaking new report predicting the plant-based food market will skyrocket to $162 billion within the next decade. This has driven a surge of new products from multiple innovative plant-based protein manufacturers. Here now we’ll look at 4 innovative food stocks developing these new products, including Beyond Meat (NASDAQ:BYND), Oatly Group AB (NASDAQ:OTLY), Tattooed Chef (NASDAQ:TTCF), and The Very Good Food Company Inc. (NASDAQ:VGFC). Beyond Meat, Inc. (NASDAQ:BYND) Beyond Meat (NASDAQ:BYND) has already achieved its status as a household name with its Beyond burgers being sold in several popular restaurant chains, including McDonald’s. Now it continues to innovate with new products, most recently being its plant-based Beyond Breakfast Sausage, and an expansion in plant-based chicken platform. The protein in Beyond Chicken Tenders is derived from the nutrient-packed legume crop, faba beans. Its unique qualities make it what Beyond Meat believes is the optimal ingredient for replicating the taste and texture of traditional chicken tenders. Oatly Group AB (NASDAQ:OTLY) Through the launch of a new Research and Innovation Center at Lund University in Sweden, Oatly Group AB (NASDAQ:OTLY) is expanding its research output.

Oatly expects to add ~30 new scientists to its global team based in Lund over the next year, with the potential to add nearly 100 researchers across its research hubs in Europe, the Americas and Asia. The scientists will study oats in greater detail from various perspectives including biochemistry, biophysics, microstructure, nutritional traits and refinement. Tattooed Chef (NASDAQ:TTCF) Plant-based food makers Tattooed Chef (NASDAQ:TTCF) recently expanded its offerings, through the acquisition of Belmont Confections, a private label co-manufacturer of nutrition bars, for approximately $18 million in cash and stock.

Tattooed Chef aims to add its innovations to the operation with the goal to become a leader in the bar sector. The Very Good Food Company Inc. (NASDAQ:VGFC) The Very Good Food Company Inc.
