Kim was tapped to be Beyond Meat’s new ‘Chief Taste Consultant’ — but her new ad left a bad taste in some critics’ mouths.

Kim Kardashian’s debut as the new “Chief Taste Consultant” for Beyond Meat didn’t exactly go down easy with some fans. The reality star revealed she was partnering with the plant-based food company in a new ad (below) shared on Tuesday, May 24 — but eagle-eyed viewers ended up dragging her for not actually taking a bite of the product she was promoting!

“She ain’t eat nothing ina video or I’m tripping,” wrote one critic on her Instagram post of the clip, as another commented, “But you didn’t put anything in your mouth…are you really eating this? haha ha.” And one follower went so far as to reference Kim’s recent admission of using an extreme diet to fit into her Met Gala gown, posting, “I don’t believe you ate any of that miss starvation.”

In the video, Kim is served an assortment of meals created with Beyond Meat products. “I believe so much in the mission of Beyond Meat that I’ve stepped in to help with my greatest asset – my taste,” the superstar explains. After plant-based burgers, meatballs, tacos and nuggets are paraded out, Kim is seen chewing with her mouth full in cut after cut of the video. However, there is no cut of her chomping down on any Beyond Meat. That didn’t stop Kim from exclaiming “So good!” and fist pumping the chef, however.

While the naysayers continued to bash the non-existent bites in the comments section, Kim found support in those who were pleased to see such a huge A-lister bringing awareness to meat alternatives. “This is actually a way to reach a lot of new people since she has such a huge influence, I get it,” shared one fan on Instagram, with another posting, “Grateful for anyone and anything that advances plant-based food.”

Kim’s sway appears to be exactly what Beyond Meat was hoping for by adding her to their list of celebrity ambassadors, which includes Shay Mitchell, Kevin Hart, and Snoop Dogg. “As an icon synonymous with impeccable taste in food, fashion, beauty and more, Kim will highlight the brand’s delicious, nutritious and sustainable product portfolio with her signature recipes and engaging creative content,” the company said in a statement on their website.

Co-signing Beyond Meat on their statement, Kim added, “As my fans know, my fridge and freezer are fully stocked with Beyond Meat’s products and I’m so thrilled to be featured in the campaign as its Chief Taste Consultant to inspire people to include Beyond Meat in their diets.”

Bite or not, it appears the partnership has all the right ingredients, as the ad has over one million likes on Kim’s Instagram so far!
