Are your products processed?

Almost everything we eat is processed in some way. For example: blending, mixing, cooking, or baking are all "processes" that change a food from its raw, natural state. Our products are made by mixing carefully selected ingredients derived from plants or by fermentation, to create something unique and delicious. Want the details? Click here.

Are your products Halal or Kosher?

Our goal is to make products for everyone, including those with religious dietary restrictions: Impossible™ Beef Made From Plants is Halal and Kosher certified. Because Impossible Beef can be served with many add-ons and toppings, and is prepared a little differently by every chef, you’ll need to check with whoever is preparing your meal to find out if they're able to serve a fully Halal or Kosher preparation. Please note that Impossible™ Chicken Nuggets Made From Plants are not certified Halal or Kosher at this time. Impossible Beef is Halal certified by the Islamic Food and Nutrition Council of America (IFANCA). Impossible Beef is Kosher certified by the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America (OU).
