Impossible Beef Meat From Plants

Impossible Foods was founded in 2011 by Patrick O. Brown with the mission to eliminate the need for animal-centered agriculture by creating high-quality meat substitutes from plants. The brand's signature innovation is the use of 'heme,' a molecule found in all living things that gives meat its distinct flavor and appearance.

Today, the company remains an independent, private entity headquartered in Redwood City, California. Manufacturing initially centered at its own facility in Oakland, California, but has since expanded through strategic partnerships with major food processors like OSI Group to meet global demand. While the bulk of production remains in the United States to serve North American and international markets, the company continues to scale its supply chain to reach consumers in restaurants and grocery stores worldwide.
