USA- Impossible Foods has launched Impossible Bowls, the company’s first line of branded frozen plant-based dinners.
The single-serve frozen meals are available in eight distinct flavors and can be prepared in under five minutes using a variety of plant-based meat alternatives from Impossible Foods.
The bowls will be sold in collaboration with Golden West Food Group and will debut in around 4,000 Walmart locations nationwide.
Walmart stores will begin by stocking four Impossible Bowls: Sweet & Sour Impossible Pork; Teriyaki Impossible Chicken; Chili Mac with Impossible Pork; and Barbeque Impossible Pork.
In October four additional meals will appear in Walmart shelves, including Spaghetti & Impossible Meatballs, Pasta Bolognese with Impossible Beef & Pork, Burrito Bowl with Impossible Beef, and Spicy Enchilada Bowl with Impossible Chicken.
The California based food company now offers complete meals that include animal substitutes instead of only producing plant-based meat. With these items, the business enters the market for quick and practical meals.
“Convenience and accessibility are a huge part of this, and we’re excited to give people even more ways to try and buy Impossible products,” Peter McGuinness, CEO of Impossible Foods, said in a statement.
He noted that this is a major milestone that they are proud of and hope will push the category forward in a meaningful way.
