(KNOW YOUR AUDIENCE)
“IT’S MEAT. MADE FROM PLANTS.”
Meat-eaters don’t love “veggie burgers” or “fake meat.” Yes, Impossible meat is plant-based, but it wasn’t made for vegans. It’s actually made for people who love meat. Familiarize everyone on your staff with the Impossible basics, and the best way to present them to customers.
ON YOUR MENU
Impossible may be plant-based, but it’s made for people who love meat. Here’s how to promote it on your menu so your customers know what it is and why they should order it.
TIP 1: DON'T CALL IT "FAKE" OR "FAUX"
Those words can turn customers off. We recommend saying “plant-based”: it sounds tastier, and it’s how consumers are talking about it now.
TIP 2: PUT THE WORD “IMPOSSIBLE” IN THE NAME OF YOUR DISH
More and more people recognize the Impossible brand. Help them recognize it on your menu by using “Impossible Burger” rather than a “vegan,” “veggie,” or even “plant-based burger.”
TIP 3: ALLOW YOUR CONSUMERS TO "MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE"
Impossible meat tastes great in any ground beef dish. Letting customers sub Impossible meat for ground beef can help more people enjoy more of your menu.

HOW DO YOU MAKE IT?
Meat is just a combination of protein, fats and flavors. We make our meat the same way, but we use plant-based ingredients instead of animals.
HOW IS IT DIFFERENT FROM OTHER PLANT-BASED MEATS?
Impossible meat is the only plant-based meat that has heme, which is why it’s so delicious. Heme is a molecule found in all living things – both plants and animals – that gives meat it’s unmistakably meaty flavor. Our heme is derived from soybeans and produced by fermenting genetically modified yeast (similar to how some cheeses and wines are made).
