Impossible Burgers are coming to 1,500 cafeterias this fall - CNN
Starting this fall, the plant-based meat substitute will be available at about 1,500 colleges, corporate cafeterias and hospitals through Sodexo, a foodservice company. Sodexo announced the news on Thursday — the same day that Burger King starts selling its Impossible Whopper nationwide.
That means workers at corporate offices of major companies, including Unilever (UL) and Ford (F), students and fast food customers throughout the country will soon be able to buy an Impossible burger with ease. Although Impossible has faced shortages in the past, it hired more employees at its Oakland production facility and expanded capacity through a partnership with a major meat processor. That should allow the company to meet demand, Impossible says.
Foodservice providers and fast food chains are partnering with Impossible and its competitor Beyond Meat (BYND) to cash in on the plant-based protein trend, which is being driven primarily by consumers who want to eat less meat for health and environmental reasons.
