## Impossible Pork

Impossible Foods Inc. has [revealed](<https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20200107005133/en/Impossible-Foods-Serves-Impossible%E2%84%A2-Pork-Plants-Impossible%E2%84%A2>) its own plant-based take on pork called — you guessed it — Impossible Pork. Pork is the company's second core offering after beef.

According to a [press release](<https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20200107005133/en/Impossible-Foods-Serves-Impossible%E2%84%A2-Pork-Plants-Impossible%E2%84%A2>), Impossible Pork can be steamed, baked in an oven, charbroiled, grilled on a flat-top or sauteed, much like the real thing.

But is it any good? Director Becca Farsace [told *The Verge*](<https://www.theverge.com/2020/1/7/21054441/impossible-foods-pork-ces-2020-taste-test-fake-meat-plant-based>) after sampling the product at CES that although the texture wasn't quite right, the taste was basically accurate. And visually, it looks amazing.

## How the Sausage is Faked

Along with Impossible Pork, the company is also launching Impossible Sausage — which is more or less exactly what you think it is.

"We won’t stop until we eliminate the need for animals in the food chain and make the global food system sustainable," said founder and CEO Patrick Owen in the company's statement.

The company has yet to reveal any pricing or availability of its Pork and Sausage offerings. However, the Sausage will debut exclusively at 139 Burger King restaurants in the U.S. in January.

## Author
I've been at Futurism since 2017, where my role has evolved to encompass design, writing, and increasingly editing. I've always been fascinated by space exploration and advanced transportation, which I've leaned into by interviewing luminaries in those fields while closely following the dimensions of policy and regulation that allow next-generation projects to succeed -- or, sometimes, to fail. I'm also keenly interested in the effects of generative AI on society, policies, and democratic institutions, as well as clean energy, physics and biology, and the vagaries of tech leadership. My work for Futurism has been cited by publications including Ars Technica, Gizmodo, PC Magazine, Jalopnik, Fox News, and the New York Post. I spent my childhood living in locations including Manila, the Philippines, and Geneva, Switzerland, attended McGill University, and now live in Toronto, Canada. Before Futurism I worked at AskMen and a small photography studio. In my free time, I'm an avid gardener, foodie, and craft beer lover, as well as a maker of artisanal hot pepper sauces. I have a magnificent dog named Freida.
