Impossible Foods Becomes First Plant-Based Brand to Earn NSF Certification for Professional Athletes
Vegconomist • Oct 09, 2025
Impossible Foods has achieved a significant milestone by becoming the first plant-based brand to earn NSF Certified for Sport® status for its Impossible Beef and Impossible Burger products. This certification ensures that the products meet the high standards required for professional athletes, including being free from banned substances and harmful contaminants. The certification also validates the nutritional claims on product labels, making Impossible Foods' products a trusted choice for athletes, sports dietitians, and consumers alike.

The NSF certification opens up opportunities for Impossible Foods to partner with major sports leagues and organizations, such as the MLB, who have specific requirements for food safety and ingredient transparency. With 19 grams of protein per serving and lower total fat content compared to animal meats, Impossible Foods' products provide a viable plant-based alternative for athletes seeking optimal performance. The company's participation in upcoming events, such as the Food & Nutrition Conference & Expo® and the Chicago and Detroit Marathons, will offer athletes and spectators the chance to experience and enjoy NSF Certified for Sport® products firsthand.
