Nutritional comparison of Impossible and Beyond Burgers

I reviewed both Beyond and Impossible burgers back in 2019, shortly after their introduction to the marketplace. In the intervening 5 years, both brands have been refining their recipes, so I wanted to revisit this topic and tell you what’s changed. You can listen to my review here. Below, you’ll find a table comparing the two with lean ground beef.

  1. You mentioned that the Beyond Burger’s new formulation isn’t available in stores yet, but is the Impossible Burger’s new formulation available in stores?
