Beyond Meat Rival Impossible Foods Is Developing Plant-Based Milk

Impossible Foods, the privately held chief rival to plant-based meat manufacturer Beyond Meat (NASDAQ: BYND), said on Tuesday it's working on developing plant-based milk for its animal-free product lineup. According to press conference statements quoted by Engadget, the company's Impossible Milk has culinary properties close to or identical with cow's milk, rather than simply being a standard nut or soy milk. In a statement quoted by The Washington Post, CEO Pat Brown said the "plant-based milks out there are inadequate" and that the company's research is aiming "to make something that for a dairy milk lover is better than anything that comes from a cow."
