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. Currently, the Impossible Burger is not available online but can be found in over 17,000 restaurants and over 150 grocery stores in the U.S., Hong Kong, Macau, and Singapore.

In January 2020, Impossible Foods unveiled a new product at CES: Impossible Pork. The company has not announced when the pork would be available, however, it was also announced that Impossible Sausage would be launching at 139 Burger King restaurants.
