help Impossible Burger FAQ

What makes Impossible Burger taste more like meat than a traditional veggie burger?

Impossible Foods uses soy leghemoglobin to supply heme, a molecule involved in the product's browned, meaty flavor. Soy protein concentrate provides most of the protein, while coconut and sunflower oils contribute fat and juiciness.

Does Impossible Burger contain soy or gluten?

Current widely sold Impossible Burger formulations contain soy, so they are unsuitable for someone with a soy allergy. The original restaurant formula used wheat, but recipes vary by product and country, making the package allergen statement the reliable check.

Is Impossible Burger the same product used in Burger King's Impossible Whopper?

Burger King uses an Impossible Foods patty in the Impossible Whopper. The finished sandwich also includes a bun, sauces, and toppings, and standard restaurant preparation may involve equipment shared with animal products.

How does Impossible Burger differ from Beyond Burger?

Impossible Burger is built mainly around soy protein and heme, while the best-known Beyond Burger formulations use pea protein and do not use soy leghemoglobin. Both are plant-based meat substitutes, but their allergen profiles, flavor systems, and nutrition labels differ.
