  • 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 loved everything they make minus their new sausages! Burgers are incredible and their ground meat is a great replacement for any recipe that calls for beef

    Feedback

    The texture in the new sausages is too soft

  • Pretty good taste and flavor. I would recommend buying the ground meat. My brother made it into a burger and it was the best burger I've ever had. I have tried the frozen burger patties and they are not the same, but still decent. I have also tried Impossible foods patties in Starbucks plant-based sandwiches and enjoyed the taste and flavor!

  • Great meat substitutes for beginners! I’ve tried alternatives that have been a little bit scary, but I’ve loved everything that I’ve tried so far.

  • I would personally rank Beyond a bit higher in taste, but I also really like the impossible products like the burgers and sausages. They aren’t as close to meat as Beyond (for me) but are still very tasty.

  • I think I set my hopes too high that the burger would taste exactly like meat. It didn’t, but it was fairly close. I don’t have a strong desire to eat it again, but a great alternative for anyone trying to go vegetarian

  • I love their sausage. I was a bit skeptical because I'm generally really picky and I'm not vegan but I don't generally eat meat. I used to love sausage patties when I was young and these tasted exactly how I remember.

  • I rate these as a five amongst meat alternatives. As someone who doesn't eat beef (because of how it's often farmed), I still know it's not exactly the same as eating real meat. But that being said, it's really amazing how good the taste and texture is. This is nothing like veggie burgers, which are dry, fall apart, and taste like beans. Impossible meat is confusingly accurate and that's a great thing. Also, I think Impossible is better than Beyond. Also, I've recently tried the "chicken" nuggets, and they're awesome. They taste like chicken in the way a McNugget tastes like chicken. In other words, nobody is going to think this came right off a bird, but they are very yummy.

  • Great tasting burger! It’s a great substitute for those that don’t eat meat for whatever reason. I have also used the meat to make empanadas (fried turnovers). It makes me feel like I can still be part of my family traditions.

  • As a vegetarian I am in love with impossible food's vegan ground 'beef'.

  • It’s hard for me to like things that mimic the taste and texture of meat but the impossible burger has really done a great job. I like that I can substitute it in different recipes. Makes it much more versatile as a protein substitute.

  • Taste is not bad, I know lots of meat-eaters who enjoy Impossible Foods more than other brands.

  • I think it tastes great and nearly just like the real thing!

    Feedback

    I am concerned that it isn't really that healthy and ultimately not a viable replacement to meat.

  • The way I see it, if a meatless alternative tastes as good as the real thing, then I'd much rather be eating that. Some meat-free brands look the part but lack when it comes to texture and taste. Impossible Foods stick the landing on all accounts — I BBQd some of their burgers a little while back and they looked, smelled, felt and tasted as close to a meaty burger as you can get.

  • If you want meat, without the meat, Impossible Foods hits the spot!

  • Oh hell no! Never again and it will not save the earth. Thats just bull

    Friends with Impossible Foods
  • We did a blind taste test at our house with Impossible Burger and ground beef. Everyone could slightly tell the difference because of texture but enjoyed both burgers. Overall we would all have this again.

    Feedback

    The texture was a little crumbly and we added our own seasoning. This was fine because we could adapt to what we wanted, but it needed a little something for flavor.

  • someone pop sample at the restaurant where I work, I didn't have great expectations as in my opinion all those chemically created plant based foods are dangerous and disgusting, once I tried them I realised how bad it was!

    Feedback

    please erase yourself from the earth and all the company that mass producing plant based food without any respect for the nature! and to the few people that that buying this rubbish please stop it! do a deep research. those "fake meats" are the opposite of sustainable!! yuk !

  • I love the ground beef. I regularly make burgers with it and like it even more than burgers made with real beef. It has a similar taste and texture, but leaves you feeling lighter after eating.

  • I’ve had the impossible meat and I like it for the most part. There’s an aftertaste however that I can’t describe that is less than favorable though.

  • The impossible burgers are a great, widely available alternative to beef. Unlikely other faux meat burgers, you aren’t locked into an “veggie” or “black bean” flavor. When bought to cook at home, their easy to make. The texture however is not ideal. It is attempting to be close to a beef burger but can often be just a too soft vegan burger. The price is also quite high for a burger that you don’t fully love.

    The texture of the burgers when cooked.
