Impossible Foods announced that the Impossible Burger will be sold at Walmart locations. The Impossible Burger will be sold at Walmart locations in packages of 12-ounces, and it will be available at over 2,000 Walmart locations across 50 different states.
Previously the Impossible Burger was being sold at other retail locations including Kroger, Safeway, Albertsons, Vons, and others. Additionally, Impossible Foods also announced that its burgers will also be available at Trader Joe's. The Founder and CEO of the company, Dr. Patrick O. Brown, stated that the goal is to have Impossible Foods available everywhere that consumers purchase meats. Making the products available at retail locations increases the number of people who can switch to plant-based meat products.
