Which company makes the Impossible Burger, first sold in restaurants in 2016?

Impossible Foods makes the Impossible Burger, which was first sold in restaurants in 2016.

The company developed the burger to reproduce some sensory qualities of beef, including a meat-like texture and a savory flavor. Its formulation has used soy protein and heme produced through fermentation, with heme helping create a color and taste associated with cooked meat.

The product first appeared in restaurants before becoming available through retail channels. This restaurant-first rollout helped the company gather attention and compare the product directly with conventional burgers.

The Impossible Burger is often confused with the Beyond Burger because both became famous plant-based alternatives during the same decade. They are made by different companies and are not the same product.
