By shifting from animal to plant-based meat, we can positively impact four growing global issues: human health šŖ, climate change š, constraints on natural resources š±, and animal welfare š®. #GoBeyond
Impossible Foods is on a mission to positively impact people and the planet by making delicious, nutritious meat from plants with a fraction of the environmental footprint of meat from animals. Founded in 2011, we take a uniquely scientific approach that aims to make the world's best plant-based meat with the power to transform the food system. We make chicken, beef, and pork products from plants for every meal ā breakfast, lunch and dinner ā with a goal of replicating the flavors, textures, and cooking experience that meat eaters crave. Every nugget, burger, and patty we sell uses less land, water, and produces less greenhouse gas emissions compared to the animal.
Itās not every day that two heart surgeons get into the food business, but over 20 years ago thatās exactly what our dads did. Motivated by what they saw in their practice, our parents set out on a mission to encourage sensible eating. They knew ingredients had to be nutritious and simple, that everything had to be delicious, and that their products needed to be super simple to make. While the world has changed since our little family business first got started, our focus remains true to our dadsā vision and we work every day to make them proud.
Our history dates back to 1992 when our dads, medical partners and cardiothoracic surgeons, conducted emergency surgery to save a manās life. They wound up also saving a business. After a successful operation, the group became friends. Later, the patient introduced our dads to the owner of Ungarās Heimeshe Gefilte Fish Company. They were hooked.
After acquiring the company (while keeping their busy medical practice) the pair launched Dr. Praegerās Sensible Foods to provide nutritious, delicious, and convenient frozen foods. The idea was to offer food that tasted so good itād be much easier to help people to adopt better eating habits.
Now, two decades later, the next generation is at the helm, inspired by and true to the original mission and values. Weāre still an independent, family-owned and operated business grounded in using simple, whole ingredients to make great-tasting products families love. Weāre continually working to expand our range of products to add new flavors and options that are as delicious to eat as they are easy to serve.
We want to contribute to peopleās ability to live their lives to the fullest! The biggest impact we can make is by delivering the most delicious recipes made from simple, nutritious foods that help encourage good eating habits that last a lifetime. Dr. Praegerās is available nationwide in your local frozen food section. See our website to find a store nearby.
