About Impossible Foods Stock
Impossible Foods, Inc. aims to develop plant-based substitutes for meat and dairy products. The company 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 flagship product is the Impossible Burger, which they claim 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.
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.
