Tyson Foods (TSN) is finally getting into the mutant-meat game being dominated by one-time friend Beyond Meat (BYND) and its heated rival Impossible Foods.
The U.S.’s largest meat producer said Thursday it will debut several new plant-based products under the Raised & Rooted brand. Nuggets will debut at several undisclosed major retailers later this summer while blended burgers will hit shelves in the fall.

The blended burgers are made with a mix of Angus beef and pea protein.
