The Impossible meat. The FDA just blew right past it. Didn't require makers to show it is safe. At all. Zero.

[iamwhatiseem]

With sources listed on each claim, the below documentary shows how vegetable based meat is made.
The primary ingredient is soybean protein.
But Soybean protein, when extracted, taste absolutely terrible and looks like moist sawdust.
So how do you think they turn this product that taste terrible, looks like wet sawdust into a material that taste and looks just like rea meat?

Easy.... CHEMICALS. And LOTS of them.

And there have been numerous studies showing that several of those chemicals are KNOWN CARCINIGANS. As well as known human toxins. And in quantities that are WELL surpassed in what is allowed in actual meat.
But vegetable based products are NOT UNDER THOSE RESTRICTIONS.
WHY?
Even though Impossible Industries own documentation supplied to the FDA shows it has over the limits of these known toxins - the FDA rubber stamped it "with no further questions". They literally didn't even ask a single question.

I think we will find that there is nothing beneficial for your health by eating that crap....

To what toxins and carcinogens do you refer?​

Here is a Wikipedia segment on Impossible Foods​

Technology and food safety​

Unlike most plant-based products intended to emulate meat, the Impossible Burger contains heme. Heme is the molecule that gives blood its red color and helps carry oxygen in living organisms.[14] Heme is abundant in animal muscle tissue and is also found naturally in all living organisms.[15] Plants, particularly nitrogen-fixing plants and legumes, also contain heme.[16] The plant-based heme molecule is identical to the heme molecule found in meat.[17][18]

To produce heme protein from non-animal sources, Impossible Foods selected the leghemoglobin molecule found naturally in the roots of soy plants.[19] To make it in large quantities, the company's scientists genetically engineered a yeast and used a fermentation process very similar to the brewing process used to make some types of beer.[20] In 2014, Impossible Foods declared leghemoglobin is Generally Recognized As Safe after testing under FDA oversight,[21] and filed updates with the FDA in 2017 and 2018.[22] The U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued a "no questions" letter in July 2018, accepting the unanimous conclusion of a panel of food-safety experts that the protein that carries heme is safe to eat.[23] This acceptance letter was limited to products cooked in restaurants because soy leghemoglobin required safety review as a new food colorant for uncooked products.[24] An FDA rule change that accepted the colorant and allows the sale of Impossible Burgers in grocery stores took effect on September 4, 2019.[25]

LightLife, a brand of meat analogues, criticized its competitors Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods in an open letter published in The New York Times, asking that these companies reduce their use of "hyperprocessed" ingredients.[26] Impossible Foods responded by calling it a "disingenuous, desperate disinformation campaign".[27]

The Center for Consumer Freedom (CCF), a nonprofit advocacy group that has received funding from the meat industry, has targeted Impossible Foods and other meat analogue producers through advertising, including a commercial during Super Bowl LIV, criticizing meat analogues for using additives. Impossible Foods quickly answered with a parody commercial.[28]

Uh... well you could watch the documentary and find out.
Or spend that time copying and pasting articles.
Your choice.

Well look at that, today conservatives learned that companies put chemicals in their food. Profits are far more important than health in this country.

 

[Pete7469]

The fact that the idea is inspired by marketing to bed wetting vegan oxygen thieves that can not tolerate people making their own diet choices, I'll never even try that shit. Beef was fine all by itself.

Well look at that, a liberal put words into someone's mouth, and then proceeds to criticize them for having thought it.

Extra salt, extra fat and less protein?
That fake shit sounds awesome!!!

Then eat it.
Shouldn't be a problem for you.

I'll take the real stuff.

 

[Crick]

Just pick up a package of that shit and look at the ingredients list. And those are just the ingredients they're required to disclose.

Water, pea protein isolate, expeller-pressed canola oil, refined coconut oil, less than 2% of the following: cellulose from bamboo, methycellulose, potato starch, natural maltodextrin, yeast extract, salt sunflower oil, vegetable glycerin, dried yeast, gum arabic, citrus extract, ascorbic acid, beet juice extract, acetic acid, succinic acid, modified food starch, anatto.

Which of those ingredients is it that's giving you the heebie-jeebies? I bet I can find every single one of them somewhere in your kitchen.

They are not required to put in every chemical compound found in the food.
The label would be a 30 page document if that was the case.
The Impossible Industries, Inc. own document presented to the FDA for what is found in the food was almost 1300 pages long.

Wrong

Q. How are ingredients listed on a product label?
A. Food manufacturers are required to list all ingredients in the food on the label. On a product label, the ingredients are listed in order of predominance, with the ingredients used in the greatest amount first, followed in descending order by those in smaller amounts. The label must list the names of any FDA-certified color additives (e.g., FD&C Blue No. 1 or the abbreviated name, Blue 1). But some ingredients can be listed collectively as "flavors," "spices," "artificial flavoring," or in the case of color additives exempt from certification, "artificial colors", without naming each one. Declaration of an allergenic ingredient in a collective or single color, flavor, or spice could be accomplished by simply naming the allergenic ingredient in the ingredient list.

Apparently not. Do you have some other source that provides another 29 pages of ingredients in this stuff that weren't listed?

The Impossible Industries, Inc. own document presented to the FDA for what is found in the food was almost 1300 pages long.

And you think that was 1,300 pages of ingredients? Jesus dude, get real.

Are you stupid or just trolling?
They are required to list all MAIN ingredients... example - Cane Sugar.
They are not required to list that the cane sugar they use has had pesticides sprayed on it and contains so many parts/billion of Hexane.
The impossible burger's own detailed ingredient list says right on it that it contains Hexane, but they are not required to list that on consumer labels.

 

[Blues Man]

I don't eat meat and I won't eat that impossible crap.

What is impossible is that it can be made without copious amount of chemical compounds

It's shit food loaded with fats and no real food at all

I can't help it if you are too stupid to know that makers are not required to list every chemical compound on the consumer list. Anyone with a 7th grade education should know that would be a book that would have to accompany each package.
