What is impossible meatloaf made of? ›

Ingredients & substitutions for vegan meatloaf:

Impossible Burger: this is the vegan 'ground beef'. You can also use beyond meat, it was delicious too. Panko breadcrumbs and plant milk: mixed together this is the traditional way to add moisture to meatloaf. Sometimes onions are added but I felt they were not needed.

It can be cooked on any surface and in any way ground beef is cooked including: sautee, stir fry, braise/sear, deep fry, bake, grill and simmer in broth. Impossible Beef is fully cooked when the internal temperature is 71°C / 160°F. Serve while hot and fresh for best results.

While Impossible's proprietary plant-based heme is 100 percent free from animal-derived ingredients, it was tested on animals – at least once – in order to gain full approval from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and to be “generally recognized as safe,” or GRAS.

The Impossible Burger can be a sustainable alternative to regular burgers and does contain higher amounts of several important nutrients, including vitamin B12, folate, and thiamine (3, 4 , 5 ). However, the Impossible Burger contains more sodium than regular ground beef and is lower in some vitamins and minerals.

The best part about Impossible Burger is that it cooks like ground beef. For fillings, sear while stirring until well browned. If you're serving up burgers, we recommend cooking for 2-3 minutes per side.

Our products are processed by mixing carefully selected ingredients, derived from plants or by fermentation, to create something unique and delicious. Impossible Foods' mission is to use the key components of meat (protein, fat, and flavor) more efficiently and sustainably than animals can.

Though the risk of food-borne illness is smaller for these burgers than for actual meat burgers, there is still some chance. They are made from legumes, grains, and vegetables, and those can become contaminated with pathogenic bacteria.

Ingredients. The Impossible burger is fortified with more minerals and vitamins than Beyond Meat. The white flecks in Beyond Meat and Impossible that act as fat are made from coconut oil and sunflower oil. Beyond meat also has cocoa butter in the “fat” component.

According to Samuels, Impossible meats are particularly problematic. "This product is highly processed," she says. "Ultra or highly processed foods are foods that have additional artificial colors, flavors, and preservatives to promote shelf stability, preserve texture, and increase palatability.

Why shouldn't you eat Beyond Meat? ›

Unfortunately, even though an alternative to beef is better for the environment, it may not necessarily be better for your health. The Beyond Meat burger has 18 ingredients, the Impossible Burger has 21. Both are highly processed and contain several additives and inflammatory oils.

The bad news: Meatless burgers are heavily processed and high in saturated fat. The same can't necessarily be said of the aforementioned beef substitutes, which have been created to mimic what many people love about a burger — the red juicy center and meaty taste.

“Compared to a meat-based burger, Beyond and Impossible contain roughly the same amount of saturated fat and more sodium,” she says, both of which, when over-consumed, can increase the risk of heart disease and stroke.

Beyond has significantly less saturated fat than both ground beef and Impossible Burger. That's the “bad” fat associated with heart disease and inflammation, according to the Centers for Disease Control, so less is more in this case.

Con #1: Plant-based meat can be more heavily processed than animal meat. As some plant-based meat and mock meat products are created to replicate animal meat, they may undergo more processing. This leads to a high content of saturated fat, sodium, and added sugar.
