The Impossible Burger Is Now Umami Burger's Exclusive Plant-Based Burger

[lightbright]

Umami Burger has announced that Impossible Foods will be its exclusive plant-based burger at all Umami Burger locations across the country.

In another recent win for plant-based eaters, gourmet burger chain Umami Burger has announced that the internet famous "bleeding" Impossible Burger will now be the exclusive plant-based burger served at all of its 22 locations nationwide. As part of a two-year partnership, Impossible Foods' plant-based burger aims to continue the growth that the menu item has seen since it first appeared in Umami Burger restaurants in May 2017.
This announcement seemed inevitable with Impossible Foods' increasingly strong sales performance and related fast food partnerships. Since May 2017, the Impossible Burger has become one of the most popular items on Umami Burger's menu , selling 140,000 burgers to date and 2,100 burgers on average per week. These sales were helped in part by promotions including a celebrity partnership with youth culture icon and rapper Jaden Smith in promotion of the limited release of Jaden's Impossible Trio burgers.
This news follows Impossible Foods' April announcement that it will be serving Impossible Sliders at 140 White Castle locations throughout New York, New Jersey and Chicagoland at a friendly $1.99 price. Previously the company has grown its distribution through partnerships with 1,300 restaurants, including Momofuku Nishi, as well as gourmet burger chains including Fatburger and B Spot.

​

This exclusivity marks another strong decision from the Impossible Foods' team and its mission to democratize plant-based burgers . Its burger uses plant-based ingredients to recreate the sensory experience of eating an animal-based burger, including its iron taste and its bleeding. Impossible Foods is able to mimic this experience through carefully combined plant-based ingredients as well as through the use of engineered yeast which replicates plant-based heme (leghemoglobin) molecules that make blood and meat red and gives it its savory flavor.

Founder and CEO Patrick Brown's company aims to create a plant-based burger that would satisfy even staunch meat eaters as a means to change consumer preferences to more environmentally and sustainable plant proteins. Compared with the production of conventional ground beef, the Impossible Burger uses 75% less water, generates 87% fewer greenhouse gases and requires 95% less land. Additionally, its partnerships with accessible chains like Umami Burger and White Castle mean that consumers have the opportunity to try its burger at competitive prices.

I never heard of the Beyond Meat brand until today, I subscribe to this Sous Vide cooking channel as I have an Anova Sous Vide circulator. Today they did a veggie burger vs regular burger vs Wagyu burger and surprisingly (they are not veg at all) they actually liked the Beyond Meat burger a lot, although the main guy said it smelled horrible before cooking.

I've had an impossible burger a couple times, I fuck with it. Granted, if you want it to stay together and not fall apart it has to be seared for a little longer on each side until it's crispy, but that's nothing.

After this post we got a couple Beyond burgers and they were not good. The smell of cooking them was horrible and it lingered in the house for a couple days too.

GMO Impossible Burger Tests Positive for Glyphosate

(The Impossible Burger from Impossible Foods)

As Beyond Meat’s very successful IPO is bringing a lot of attention to the alt-protein category, it is important to take a look at what exactly are in these food products.

One popular name in this space is the Impossible Burger, a product we first wrote about in 2017 when Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) documents uncovered that the FDA disagreed with the company’s safety assessments of the burger’s main ingredient — soy leghemoglobin. However, the company continued selling it to the public anyhow without informing consumers about the FDA’s very serious concerns.

The issue this time around with the Impossible Burger is the amount of glyphosate that it contains.

According to Moms Across America,who had the product tested at Health Research Institute Laboratories, the levels of glyphosate were 11x that of the Beyond Meat burger and the total result (glyphosate and its metabolite AMPA) came in at 11.3 parts per billion.

Why should consumers care about glyphosate?

Because glyphosate is known to the State of California to cause cancerand the World Health Organization says it is “probably carcinogenic to humans.” — which means that it“probably causes cancer to humans.” Glyphosate also happens to be the primary ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup herbicide, and approximately 250 million pounds of this weed killer are sprayed each year in the U.S.

Recent court cases, including the $2 billion judgment to a couple whose non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma was caused by Roundup, have provided more evidence of how harmful this chemical is.

So, the Impossible Burger not only contains a genetically-modified protein that has never been in the human diet until a few years ago, but it has also tested positive for glyphosate.

Additionally, company founder Pat Brown wrote the other day that the Impossible Burger will now be using GMO soy in its burgers. Genetically-modified soy is sprayed with Roundup and is one of Monsanto’s most important products.

“The Impossible Burger is being marketed as a solution for ‘healthy’ eating, when in fact 11 ppb of glyphosate herbicide consumption can be highly dangerous. Only 0.1 ppb of glyphosate has been shown to destroy gut bacteria, which is where the stronghold of the immune system lies. I am gravely concerned that consumers are being misled to believe the Impossible Burger is healthy,” said Zen Honeycutt, Executive Director of Moms Across America.

What should also be noted is that very low levels of glyphosate, 0.1 ppb, have been shown to cause fatty liver disease.

If you’re looking to switch to a vegan diet or consume less meat, there are numerous organic meatless options out there, such as Hilary’s Veggie Burgers or Don Lee Farms, products that are not genetically modified and whose ingredients have not been sprayed with glyphosate.

While the Impossible Burger may be generating a lot of hype and is Instagram-worthy because of how it “bleeds”, it carries elevated levels of glyphosate when compared to its non-organic peers, and its key ingredients are not found in nature but are manufactured in a laboratory.

Is eating the Impossible Burger a risk worth taking?

As the Institute for Responsible Technology has pointed out, GMOs carry many health risks.

But maybe Steven Molino (who now Tweets under @steven_molino) can answer this for us.

On Twitter, he said that 20 minutes after eating his first Impossible Burger at Bareburger, he “went into anaphylactic shock & taken to ER. Never happened to me before…” His Tweet about going into “anaphylactic shock” has since been deleted.

I'm not a vegan but trying to do healthy. So, I've had the Impossible Burger once and it was good eating although I got the BG's afterwards. The Beyond Burger has a different consistency but is good in and out, if you know what I mean. As for the prep and cooking, it smells like cat food but only takes less than 10 minutes to cook. I'm using a little coconut oil and butter for grilling in a pan.
