03 Apr 2019 --- Burger King has revealed that it is trialing Impossible Foods’ meatless patties in restaurants in St. Louis, US. In the same week, Nestlé made its latest foray into the meat-free market, launching a new “cook from raw” plant-based burger for European markets, while also unveiling launch plans for the US later this year.
