About Impossible Foods Stock
Impossible Foods, Inc. develops plant-based substitutes for meat and dairy products. According to the company, it observes animal products at the molecular level, and selects specific proteins and nutrients from greens, seeds, and grains to recreate meats and dairy products. The company's first product is the Impossible Burger, which is made from ingredients including plant-based protein, coconut oil, and heme, among other ingredients. In January 2019, the company unveiled the Impossible Burger 2.0, which swaps out whey protein for soy protein. Heme is a protein found in animal muscle and is, according to the company, responsible for the characteristic taste and aroma of meat. Impossible Foods makes heme from plants.
Impossible Foods currently sells the Impossible Burger, Impossible Pork, and Impossible Sausage. The company additionally sells its products to consumers through restaurants, such as Burger King, Qdoba, and Red Robin, grocery stores, such as Walmart, Kroger and Publix, and online.
The company was incorporated in 2011 and is based in Redwood City, California. Notable investors in Impossible Foods include Temasek, Bill Gates, GV, Khosla Ventures and Li Ka-shing.
