If you’ve had a chance to try Impossible Sausage at your favorite eatery and wished you could get your hands on it in grocery stores, then you’re in luck! Today, Impossible Foods announced that Impossible Sausage Made From Plants is launching in retail stores for the first time in a ground sausage form. Available in two flavors – Savory and Spicy – Impossible Sausage will be rolling out in Kroger, Ralphs, King Soopers, Fred Meyer, Safeway, Albertsons, Wegmans, Stop & Shop, Hannaford, Giant Martin’s, Giant Food, Sprouts Farmers Market, and Heinen’s, along with many more retailers across the country.
Impossible Sausage was introduced as Impossible Food’s first all-new product since the popular Impossible Burger made its debut in 2016. Impossible Sausage has since been featured on menus around the world, including at the 30 Top American Diners as chosen by Yelp, over 700 Jamba locations nationwide, and nearly 200 coffee shops in Hong Kong.
As with the Impossible Burger, Impossible Sausage contains no animal hormones or antibiotics and is a great source of protein. It also boasts 30% fewer calories, 47% less total fat, and 43% less saturated fat when cooked, compared to the leading pork ground sausage. Plus, it tastes great, too! In fact, in a home usage test of 136 consumers, 66% said Impossible Sausage tasted as good as or better than pork ground sausage.
Impossible Sausage is also a better choice for the environment. Each year in the United States alone, more than 121 million pigs are killed for food, causing damage to our soil and polluting air and water. Impossible Sausage generates far less greenhouse gas emissions and uses 79% less water and 41% less land than animal-derived sausage.
“At Impossible Foods, we’re intent upon delivering on what consumers demand from meat, but without the compromise inherent in the use of animals for food production,” said Impossible Foods’ President, Dennis Woodside. “With our latest Impossible Sausage product for retail, we’re doubling down in our efforts to reach every home cook looking to satiate their cravings for sausage. We are excited to see what consumers cook up.”
Created to fit into any type of meal throughout the day, Impossible Sausage is a versatile option for those looking to replace animal-derived sausage products. Impossible Sausage (Savory) is fully seasoned with an herbaceous and peppery bite, capturing all the best tastes associated with breakfast sausage – perfect for pairing with chickpea or JUST Egg scrambles. Impossible Sausage (Spicy) is perfect for anyone looking to incorporate some heat into their recipes with its bold kick and notes of chili and cayenne.
