Impossible Chicken Nuggets to hit retail and foodservice markets this month as plant-based chicken category heats up

Helena V Berbie

The retail product – which has “slightly lower saturated fat, more protein, and a little bit more sodium​” than the restaurant version – is made with soy protein concentrate, ​wheat flour, sunflower oil, soybean oil, and corn starch, and like other Impossible Foods products, is fortified with vitamins and minerals including zinc (25%DV) and B12 (60%DV).

Unlike Beyond Meat’s new chicken tenders​,​ Impossible Nuggets don’t contain titanium dioxide, a whitening agent that’s approved as a color additive exempt from certification​​ ​​in the US, but has attracted more scrutiny lately after the European Food Safety Authority said it “can no longer be considered a safe additive​​.”

A five-piece serving of Impossible Chicken nuggets contains 240 calories, 13g protein, 1.5g saturated fat (far less than the Impossible Burger), 2g fiber and 480mg sodium.  To place this in context, a serving of Tyson chicken nuggets​ ​contains 255 cals, 13g protein, 4g saturated fat, 0g fiber, and 444mg sodium.

In a blind taste test of Impossible Chicken Nuggets for restaurants among 201 meat-eating consumers in Irving, Texas, many of whom regularly eat plant-based products, seven out of 10 preferred the Impossible Chicken Nuggets to the leading animal-based chicken nuggets, said president Dennis Woodside.

“Our technology platform allows us to recreate animal products across protein categories that outperform the animal versions in every way.”
