Which plant-based burger was introduced by Impossible Foods in 2016 as its first major product?

Impossible Foods introduced the Impossible Burger in 2016 as its first major product.

The Impossible Burger is a plant-based substitute designed to resemble a conventional beef hamburger in appearance, texture and cooking behavior. Its formulation uses soy protein and other plant ingredients, with heme playing an important role in its meat-like flavor and color.

Impossible Foods first presented the product publicly at the Momofuku Nishi restaurant in New York City in 2016. The burger later became available through restaurants and retail channels, where it was marketed as an alternative to ground beef.

The Impossible Burger is often confused with the Beyond Burger, another prominent plant-based hamburger made by Beyond Meat. They are different brands with different formulations. Neither product is made from animal beef, although recipes and labeling can vary by market.
