Reviews mention

  • Convincingly meaty flavor profile
  • Impressively realistic burger texture
  • Versatile cooking performance
  • Widely praised chicken nuggets
  • Highly processed ingredient list
  • Notably high sodium levels
  • Occasional artificial aftertaste
  • Inconsistent product texture

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 love everything Impossible makes. From ground beef, to chicken nuggets to breakfast sausages. Everything is made from plants, but has such a meaty texture. The ground meat and patties ‘bleed’ like real meat which is wild! Highly suggest trying!

    Everything is brand does is wonderful!

  • I’m kosher so this is a terrific protein option which is actually reasonably tasty. With enough condiments, it actually almost satisfies in the same way animal protein does. Still doesn’t have that same juiciness, but can offer even more than meat as it can work with dairy additions to it.

    This has become a pantry staple. My biggest complain is cost. It’s kinda pricey.

  • We love impossible burgers! Recently at a cook out we tasted impossible burgers side by side to beef and actually preferred the impossible burgers. They are always consistent and delicious.

  • It has become a staple in our household. It tastes so good with some seasoning added to the mix and very versatile.

  • I love impossible foods, their accessibility and innovative products makes trying vegan foods very easy.

    The fat content in the burgers are really high, that's my only negative comment! Everything else is amazing.

  • A pretty decent burger substitute but could be improved upon! I'm a fan of the plant-based ground beef but it does have it's own taste/texture that it's quite on the mark and a bit artificial.

  • The impossible nuggets taste just like chicken nuggets, and the impossible meat taste just like meat, I did a side-by-side comparison! So good!

  • I was an early naysayer to plant- based meat. I had tried other versions in the past, but Impossible Foods has done the impossible and perfected the formula. I couldn’t believe the first time I had it - it looked and (most importantly) tasted like beef. Highly recommend for people looking for that red meat substitute

    Nothing, it’s perfect

  • I'm not a fan - I've tried these products prepared a variety of ways and always taste a weird chemically aftertaste.

  • Great mission, great tasting.

    Their own site is great at going into detail about what the product is made from... when you can find it. Plus, they need to do a better job of training the restaurants that buy their product on how to talk about it / spread the word.

  • Tastes ok but tbh made my pee smell really chemically and weird and made my skin break out. I was working with a dietician at the time and she told me the chemicals in lab meat like impossible foods can disrupt your hormones. Good option if you're actually vegetarian/vegan but I will stick to organic/grassfed meat in small quantities moving forward.

  • I prefer it to Beyond Meat, but not something I'd purchase regularly unless I'm cooking for vegetarians

  • I've tried a few different Impossible burgers and just wish I liked them taste and texture more than I do.

    Feedback

    Texture, taste are slightly off for me.

  • I'm glad to have more vegan protein options these are pretty good

  • I enjoy an Impossible burger every now and then. Introduced them to my family a few years ago and they were pretty into it. My brother has a vegan girlfriend who I thought would be excited to have Impossible burgers but she said that she hates anything that tastes like meat. Ah well, I tried!

  • impossible burgers are pretty good, but that's coming from someone who doesn't like burgers that much. I feel like impossible foods are always pretty dependable, but they're not the best meat substitutes. I think morningstar farms does a better job than impossible foods at making vegan chicken nuggets

  • It's one of the better animal free burgers out there. I prefer it over the traditional kind. Texture and flavor are great!

  • I am not a big meat eater but sometimes I crave a burger and the Impossible burger always hits the spot. Much more than any other meal alternative. I'm not saying that it tastes like meat but it gives the opportunity to have the experience of eating a burger without having to resort to a bean burger.
