Impossible Foods delivers convincingly meat-like flavor and texture according to reviews, with burgers, ground “beef,” nuggets, and sausages cooking and performing much like real meat and often pleasing meat eaters. Reviews also flag drawbacks: a processed ingredient list with high sodium, occasional artificial or smoky aftertaste, digestive discomfort for some, and inconsistent texture across products.
AI summary based on Thingtesting reviews
Impossible Foods is my go-to brand for plant-based food. They have the closest taste to the traditional options. I always get the Impossible Whopper at Burger King, and similarly, I like the Impossible burgers and chicken for at home.

I really do enjoy impossible products. I know they aren't really healthy but its one of if not the best meat substitutes on the market and they are constantly working on the formula and you can tell! Very impressed as a vegan, it truly tastes like the real thing

Impossible foods is my top brand for meatless products. Everything I've tried has been exactly what I was needing and expecting, and I'm always happy to see new products from them fairly often. The brand has worked extremely hard on product consistency and flavor, and it's definitely paid off. They've done such a great job, the chicken nuggets played a huge part in turning a friend into a vegetarian. It's easy to give up meat when you don't have to give up flavor! The ground meat works sooo well in taco recipes. I've also used it in pasta sauces, and it worked out very well!

Over 5 years ago I decided to go Vegan specifically due to my love of all animals. I was not always a big meat eater but of course after I stopped eating meat. I missed it a little because I still cooked it for my husband. But the moment I missed meat the most was when hubby turned on the BBQ and threw on the hamburgers & hotdogs. With all the vegan products out there, there wasn’t 1 burger I truly liked! Well, this year I haven’t had too much “burger melancholy” because I’ve added Impossible Foods to our BBQ menu and my cooking. They’re burger 🍔 tastes just like burger 🍔 and I couldn’t be happier and they’re easy to cook. So for those you looking for the latter this summer. I’d definitely recommend it. I plan to try their chicken tenders chopped meat next. Will let you know. PS: Their website is wonderfully informative and provides all the details in their products and where to find them given they’re not every where yet. It’s also easy to navigate. PSS: Burger King offers the impossible burger among their burgers. BUT, I found it to be overcooked and thus doesn’t do it Justice. So try it on your own first.

Love impossible products. This is my go to for burgers. I have tried other brands on the market and I always go back to this one. I have made this for non vegans and they all freak out when they take their first bite. I use this products to make multiple different recipes like burger, bolognese sauce, meatballs just like my Nonna use to make and cevapi a Croatian dish my husband grew up eating.

I purchased a frozen pack of Impossible Burger Patties ( made from plants) from Cisco! This item was on sale 10 Pattie’s for $10.99. The store ambassador was preparing these Pattie’s in store as a demonstration and when I tasted it in the store on a bun, yum!!!!! I ate these Pattie’s gif a week. I dressed them up with lettuce, tomato, cheese, sweet potatoe fries, mustard and ketchup! They are good! The only thing that I am obsessed with is language on the packaging: cooks like ground beef and the list of ingredients with words that I cannot pronounce!!!Now I am concerned! Also approximately one hour or so after eating a meal; I am very hungry again!!!! Other than that- good impossible burger!

It’s not real meat but I tried it at Costco and bought it because it was so good. I love the idea of cruelty free food!

Recommend this brand for anyone who is new to exploring meat alternatives - I just think there are better brands on the market now that create healthier and more delicious products. That said, still love a beyond burger from time to time.
I love this brand. They make my favorite burgers ever, and I love that they are animal-free. These are easy to cook and have such great flavor that they don't need seasonings added to them.
I love Impossible Foods, especially their burgers. There is even a local burger place that offers Impossible Burgers as a meat-alternative, which is great. Impossible Foods have a great consistency and flavor, so much that even my non-vegetarian friends love it. In addition to their burgers, my family and I also love their sausages and "chicken" nuggets.
The taste and texture are great! I'm a long-time vegetarian and I've had to ask if a burger was accidentally switched with meat but the server said it was impossible foods! I purchased these a lot but ultimately stopped once I found out about all the added ingredients and how unhealthy they are for you.

The taste and texture are awesome but I can't support anyone eating all those added ingredients and oils. It's better for you to just eat actual meat from a nutritional standpoint.
Honestly, I don't think I'm their target market for their burgers. I've never ate beef before. My friends have done a side by side taste of my impossible burger with their real burger before and I've only heard good things about how the taste compares to real meat which is super impressive. However, I personally am turned off a bit by the smoky meaty taste and it also makes my tummy mildly upset later :(
Impossible Foods offers a solid plant-based alternative, and I appreciate the innovation behind their products. The texture and appearance are impressively meat-like, and it cooks similarly to ground beef. However, the flavor can sometimes have an artificial aftertaste, and it's a bit too processed for my personal preference. While it's a good option for those transitioning to plant-based eating, I wouldn’t choose it regularly. It’s a decent substitute, but not quite a staple for me—3 stars.
I like this brand. High quality and actually tastes like meat! A lot of different varieties which is nice Kind of pricey though
I like to try having meat free options at least once a week. I was presently surprised using impossible foods products. It’s never really going to taste like meat, but it’s a great substitute that doesn’t taste gummy or weird.

Really could substitute for meat
Feedback
I would think focusing more on the healthy value of plants as opposed to just a meat substitute would be beneficial.
Impossible foods made the most meat-like non-meat I've ever had. I have enjoyed their products and they make being a vegetarian much easier!
Feedback
Some of the fake-meat products are made with ingredients that aren't very good for you.

Decent. I think they revolutionized vegan "meat" as we knew it but were quickly overtaken by other brands who would do it just a little bit better.
I love impossible foods and use their ground beef product once a week. I personally think that it works the exact same way as real ground beef in everything I’ve tried making with it. Spaghetti, meatballs, meatloaf, tacos, chili, sloppy joe, burgers and cheesesteaks. Whenever I use it for recipes for my picky non vegan friends and family they always give it a thumbs up.

Expand the product offerings and get the price points down a little more.
It tastes really good! I love the breakfast sandwich at Starbucks. Their innovations like hemeprotein are transforming the food industry. I’m looking forward to future innovations to improve the taste, ingredient stack and environmental impact of alternative meat.

Keep innovating!
