Impossible Foods has debuted 'Wild Nuggies,' an updated version of its previously released vegan chicken nuggets. The Wild Nuggies have been designed to resemble endangered animals that are affected by the global food supply chain. Some examples of these animals are rhinos, turtles, polar bears, and whales. Through shaping its nuggets like these endangered species, Impossible Foods aims to "spark a conversation at the dinner table" about how the food we consume affects the natural world.
The Wild Nuggies themselves reflect the direction that food needs to head in in order to be more sustainable. Impossible Foods' nuggets use half of the land and 44% less water than traditional nuggets while also generating 36% less greenhouse gas emissions. These nuggets are available now at various supermarkets and retailers across the United States.
