Pork Council: Bacon Does Not Come from Plants

Impossible Foods last week unveiled its Impossible Pork, prompting a flurry of positive reviews and headlines touting its similarity to pork in taste and texture. The pig sector was less enthused.

鈥淲hat鈥檚 impossible is to make pork from plants,鈥 said Dan Kovich, science and technology director of the National Pork Producers Council. 鈥淎ny adjective placed in front of the word pork can only refine it, not redefine it. It鈥檚 not pork. It鈥檚 not pork sausage. It can鈥檛 be labeled as such.鈥

Impossible Foods hasn鈥檛 revealed when its alternative pork products will hit store shelves, though six Burger King locations this month will begin offering the 鈥淚mpossible Croissan鈥檞ich鈥 with a pre-seasoned Impossible Sausage.
