OUR RECIPE HISTORY
WHY WE CHANGED OUR RECIPE
Our mission is to make meat from plants that’s better than meat from animals in every single way. We launched the original Impossible™ Burger in 2016. The next day, we got back to work -- to make it tastier, more nutritious, and all around better. In 2019, we launched the recipe you’re serving today.
