  • Convincingly meaty flavor profile

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.

  • I’ve never purchased impossible foods’ products to cook myself at home but I’ve had many a impossible burger out before. As someone who eats meat, it is good, but honestly makes my stomach hurt? Not totally sure why but have also heard the same from others. If I wasn’t a meat eater I do think it’s a great alternative!

  • I recently tried the Impossible Burger, and while I’m not a huge fan of the taste, I’d still say it’s better than the Beyond Burger. The texture and look are impressively close to real beef, which is a plus, but the flavor didn’t quite hit the mark for me. It has a unique aftertaste that I can’t quite get used to, though I appreciate the effort they’ve put into creating a realistic plant-based option. If you’re looking for something that resembles beef more closely than other options, the Impossible Burger could be worth a try!

  • Never been a fan of their faux meats, the taste and texture are awful and offer less benefits than real grass fed organic meats

  • Impossible foods was one of the first trendy meat alternatives on the market. I’ve had their products at restaurants and also purchased patties for home. I think they taste closer to “meat” than Beyond Burgers but people sensitive to textures wouldn’t like it. I do recommend it as a burger alternative. I did not like the sausage alternatives

  • Excellent meat replacement and, to my knowledge, environmentally conscious and healthy. I'll often reach for impossible products even when meat is available, simply because they satisfy the craving so well and provide the protein and nutrients you'd want from animal products.

  • As someone who doesn't eat meat, I was really excited by the introduction of Impossible Foods line of plant-based burgers and other meat-free products. I was even more intrigued when cooking them and noticing just how realistic they are to cooking and tasting like meat! Upon further review, I am disappointed by all of the added ingredients and oils to make them appear this authentic and tremendous degree of processing. I look forward to finding a less processed alternative.

  • Nugs 🙏🏼 Love that they have them at Trader Joe’s. Very convenient.

  • I'm vegetarian and the only things I miss from eating meat are hamburgers and Chickfila - Impossible makes me not miss hamburgers anymore - I seek their patties out at restaurants and constantly keep them stocked in my fridge - NEVER disappoints.

  • Their Brats are honestly AMAZING. I've had their brats and the ones from Beyond Meat and I prefer the Impossible one by a long shot. They taste like legit brats and I feel like I'm qualified to judge that as a German LOL. Also love their patties but the brats just... made me so happy to know they exist (as a German living in LA even meat brats sometimes are disappointing AF).

  • The best meatless burgers there are! These are a great meat substitute that even meat lovers can enjoy!

  • I consider myself a part-time veggie and if I make a burger at home, I prefer a meatless version. I've tried every brand under the sun but there is something special about Impossible Meat... makes the best tacos, meat sauce and burger.

    It's 2$ more than other faux veggie meats but wore the price.

  • My husband who is a loyal meat eater is happy with Impossible meat as a substitute. He's made lasagna with it, and he definitely doesn't miss the meat. It feels substantial and filling.

    Please make Impossible Pork available in Singapore! I hope the price can also be brought down eventually to make it more accessible.

  • I think I like this one a bit more than the Beyond Burger, but both of those are pretty good at copying the experience of eating a burger. I have only had their burgers so far, and sometimes when I see them at a restaurant I will order it. While it is not totally a replacement for the sensation that is eating a delicious burger, it is definitely getting close!

    Keep on tweaking that recipe, it is close to being amazing!

  • Impossible has a decent taste. The Impossible burger was big a couple of years ago so we ordered one for my daughter & she ended up with food poisoning immediately or almost immediately afterwards. They have a decent taste but there definitely are other brands that are better. Ever since the food poisoning incident, we’ve been a bit leery of it anyways.

  • I love Impossible! From ground beef to chicken nuggets, they have totally reliable and flexible products. Easy to use in recipes and always tastes great.

  • Hard to explain how much I love this product. I'm trying to cut down on meat because of the environmental impact, but it's so much easier now that I've discovered Impossible. It completely fills the gap, it's such a fantastic food.

  • I'm vegan so I've tried a lot of their products and think they're really good! However as someone who tries to eat healthily, this just isn't a product I can eat very often because of the ingredients and added oils, etc...However if you don't really care about that the flavor is really good!! Their sausage in particular is my favorite
