Shareholders of Beyond Meat, a California-based company producing plant-based meat substitutes, are suing the firm for allegedly concealing its need for a major asset write-down that led share prices to plummet.

The case, filed in the U.S. District Court in the Central District of California, is seeking to recover damages caused by the company’s alleged violations of federal securities laws.
