BEYOND MEAT, INC.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 27, 2026, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, refers to controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that such information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 27, 2026, due to the previously identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described below, which have not been remediated.

Notwithstanding the identified material weaknesses, management believes that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of and for the periods presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Management does not anticipate making any adjustments to its previously issued financial statements.

Previously Identified Material Weaknesses in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management determined that the material weaknesses previously disclosed in Part II, Item 9AControls and Procedures of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, continue to exist as of June 27, 2026.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Material Weakness – Identification and Accounting for Non-Routine and Complex Transactions

Management identified a material weakness related to the design and operating effectiveness of controls over the identification, evaluation, valuation and accounting for non-routine and complex transactions, including transactions related to compensation arrangements, assets held for sale, debt, leases and warrants.

Specifically, the Company did not design and maintain effective controls to ensure that non-routine and complex transactions were appropriately identified, evaluated, valued and accounted for in accordance with GAAP. This material weakness was primarily attributable to insufficient technical accounting resources and ineffective review controls, which resulted in an increased risk that such transactions were not appropriately analyzed and recorded on a timely basis.

Material Weakness – Inventory Valuation (Including Data Integrity of Underlying Inputs)

Management identified an additional material weakness in controls over the valuation of inventory, specifically related to the inventory provision for excess and obsolete inventory and the completeness and accuracy of underlying data inputs.

Specifically, the Company determined that it did not design and maintain effective controls over the preparation, review, and approval of its provision for excess and obsolete inventory analysis, including controls over:

•the execution of a quantitative analysis of excess inventory based on historical and forecasted consumption and demand, and validation of key data inputs; and

•the completeness and accuracy of data used in the analysis, including key controls such as an inventory roll-forward analysis and verifications of accuracy of aging inventory and tracking of previously written down inventory.

Control deficiencies contributing to this material weakness include:

•incomplete execution and documentation of the Company’s excess and obsolete inventory analysis;

•inadequate controls over key data elements, including aging inventory and tracking of previously written down inventory; and

•lack of validation procedures to ensure that data used in the provision for excess and obsolete inventory analysis was complete and accurate.

As a result, management determined that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement related to inventory and cost of goods sold could occur and not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Remediation Plans for Previously Identified Material Weaknesses

There were no material changes to the remediation plans described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 during the quarter ended June 27, 2026. The Company is implementing the following remediation plan:

Non-Routine and Complex Transactions

•Enhanced technical accounting capabilities, including the hiring of additional personnel with relevant expertise and the appointment of a Chief Accounting Officer on January 12, 2026;

•Allocate additional resources to the accounting department, including hiring additional personnel with strong technical accounting and public company reporting knowledge and expertise to ensure sufficient staffing levels for accurate and timely financial reporting;

•Provide targeted training to key accounting and finance personnel to enhance their capability in identifying and addressing complex accounting and financial reporting issues relating to technical accounting requirements;

•Engagement of external technical accounting specialists to support the evaluation of complex and non-routine transactions;

•Implementation of a formalized quarterly control process to identify and evaluate complex and non-routine transactions, including:

◦identification and scoping of non-routine and complex transactions;

◦assessment of financial reporting implications;

◦evaluation of the need for external specialists;

◦review of technical accounting analyses and conclusions;

◦documentation of management’s conclusions, including rationale for any differences from external advisor recommendations; and

◦enhancement of management review controls, including defined review criteria, required documentation, and evidence of review of complex and non-routine transactions.

Inventory Valuation (Including Data Integrity)

•Implementation of a more robust quantitative analysis of provision for excess and obsolete inventory incorporating historical consumption, more robust assessment of aging inventory, and demand forecasts;

•Establishment of documented management review and approval controls over the provision for excess and obsolete inventory calculation;

•Implementation of controls to ensure completeness and accuracy of key data inputs, including inventory aging assessments and tracking of inventory previously written down; and

•Enhancement of documentation standards, audit trails, and data governance practices over qualitative analysis of excess and obsolete inventory.

The material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until the applicable controls have been implemented and have operated effectively for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.

Management can give no assurance that a remediation plan will fully remediate the material weakness that it has identified or that additional material weaknesses will not arise in the future.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 27, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, other than ongoing remediation efforts related to the previously identified material weaknesses.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our Company have been detected.
