Impossible Burgers’ key, bloody ingredient gets long awaited nod from FDA

Ars Technica:

The chic, plant-based Impossible Burger that browns and “bleeds” like the real thing just got a little more possible.

On Monday July 23, the company behind the meatless meat, Impossible Foods, announced that the Food and Drug Administration had finally accepted its latest application to consider the burger’s key ingredient safe to eat. The final nod puts that ingredient—dubbed soy leghemoglobin—firmly in the regulatory category of “generally recognized as safe,” or GRAS.

I’m a confirmed omnivore and I’d love to try one of these burgers.
