This is dumb, chicken nuggets are made out of waste products off of the chicken and they are replacing them with something that is likely way more expensive and more time consuming to manufacture.

they should not call it chicken if there is no chicken inside of it – I disapprove of this unhealthy behavior

“What am I supposed to say? It tastes like a chicken nugget. I haven’t had one in 1000 years.” I love Brian but dang CNET, you couldn’t find anyone on your staff who had a little more domain expertise?

@Nguyen it would’ve taken them all of 5 minutes to find a kid who eats McDonald’s chicken nuggets on a weekly basis

Not a great review but honestly if they’re available and not double the price I’ll grab a bag for the kids and let them be the judge anyway.

Good. Murdering billions of chickens every day to make “nuggets” never made any sense to me either.

I wonder if it will be available either in a restaurant or in stores here in WV. The Impossible meat still isn’t available in any stores in the entire state. I can only get Impossible Whoppers.

When are people going to wise up and start eating real food. Processed chicken and food made in a lab is always a bad choice.

Just tried some today at Fuku in NYC and they’re AMAZING. Absolutely indistinguishable from actual chicken nuggets.

I love meat but if they can make a vegetarian product for the same price and taste I would be fine ordering the vegetarian version.

don’t call then chicken nuggets! there are applied expectations of the quality of the product. the public needs to lower their expectations

Plant based meat is like electric cars. Sure they’re cool, and they claim it’s the way of the future, but it’ll never replace the originals

The impossible burger was definitively the best product to enter the market, for brand image.

Being a vegan, chicken nuggets I probably missed the most. Glad to see impossible has made some!
JUR O
September 8, 2021 at 3:45 pm
Only thing that I miss ….is a different name, to call something chicken without chicken sound logic with q chicken milk…but with meat it means always “fake” while if it it were veggie nuggets it don’t…but then nobody buys it…I bought one time fake meat and it tasted terrible.
Still the big Impossible sounds like buy and try….

These are not healthy in the slightest, especially compared to caulipower chicken tenders. Just because it’s plant-based doesn’t mean it’s healthy. Soy Bean Oil and sunflower oil are HIGHLY processed vegetable oils.

They are not meant to be healthy, they are meant to be less resource intensive to produce. They are meant to reduce water use and pollution, not the size of your belly or your blood-pressure.
josh richards
September 9, 2021 at 5:26 am
@fordhouse8b No one is going to eat a product that’s not healthier or as good as the current product on the market. If you want to improve the environment there are more practical ways like than making fake meat and banking on the meat industry to go extinct.

@josh richards Firstly, though I have not tried these nuggets, I have tried an impossible burger, and with the right fixing’ it is delicious. It is not exactly the same as a McDonald’s Quarter Pounder, but neither is a Burger King Whopper, or a Five Guys Bacon Cheeseburger. It doesn’t have to be the same, it just has to be a tasty and competitive alternative. So far, it fails on the second count more than on the first one, as prices at this time are still not very competitive. No one is “banking on” the meat industry disappearing altogether. And no one is expecting this one product category to save the environment all by itself. It is just one option on the menu. An option that has the potential of improving in both taste, texture, and price over time. Prices may well become more competitive if production ramps up sufficiently, and that competitiveness could well be enhanced if we, in recognition of the extensive damage caused by meat production, imposed extra taxes on it, much like we do with gasoline.Meat consumption per capita has increased dramatically in the US, and around the world generally, in the last five decades or so. The average American could be perfectly healthy consuming meat at 1960’s levels, and we should, as a society find ways to discourage the excessive amounts we eat today. That being said, I do enjoy a tasty burger, a plump hot dog, a juicy chicken thigh, or a nicely charred strip steak, all of which I have eaten in just the last couple of days. It doesn’t help that I work in a thoroughly meat-centric hotel kitchen. We do offer Beyond burgers, which are ok, but in my estimation inferior to the Impossible Burger.

Going to keep with the nutritional real chicken nuggets, and not highly processed veggies.
