Get pumped! American hamburger chain, White Castle, is set to offer Impossible Sliders, a variation of the classic White Castle burger featuring the all-vegan-burger-that-bleeds from the food-tech company, Impossible Foods. The plant-based burgers will be served all day long at 140 White Castle locations across New York, New Jersey, and the Chicago area starting April 12, 2018.
For $1.99, you can feast your taste buds on the Impossible Slider on White Castle’s signature square bun, topped with pickles, onions, and smoked cheddar (swap this out for a vegan version).
Having a reasonably priced, healthy plant-based option at a major fast food restaurant is a victory for many reasons. Not only does this offering create more options for people who eat mostly plant-based, but it also makes wholesome, healthy options available to people who might not otherwise be able to access them. This is also an amazing break for the environment, as industrialized animal agriculture is currently responsible for more greenhouse gas emissions than the entire transportation sector – plus it’s responsible for massive amounts of air and water Pollution. Looks like the fast food industry is finally recognizing the demand for plant-based options and responding accordingly!
If the Impossible Slider isn’t available at a White Castle near you, but you still want to get your hands on the Impossible Burger, fear not. The burger is at 1,300 U.S. restaurants, including Bareburger, Umami Burger, and Fatburger. For a complete list of where you can get the Impossible Burger, click here.
The exciting new partnership between Impossible Foods and White Castle comes on the heels of Impossible Foods’ announcement that they raised $114 million to bring their plant-based burgers to Asia, given the continent’s massive population and ever-growing demand for meat. We can’t wait for the Impossible Sliders to expand nationwide at White Castle and of course, we can’t wait to see what Impossible Foods does next!

Impossible Foods experiments on animals and then murders them afterward. Impossible Foods is not a Vegan company since they murder innocent creatures in tests not required by the FDA. Don\’t support this Fraud Company that lies to the public in saying they help animals when they are no better then tobacco companies that test on monkeys.
Thank you. Too few have taken their blinders off to see what a dispicable company Impossible Foods is.
Thank you Devin, I like your reply.
Thank you for this information! Although the idea of a burger that fake "bleeds" isn\’t appealing to me, I thought in some circumstances–dining with friends, traveling–it would be a viable option. I won\’t be trying it.
I am torn here, as an ethical vegan, going in the establishment would mean your surrounded by the essence of torture, death, and slaughter. However if Vegans unite and show white castle they could double in profit by just having "ALL" their menu plant based, there may be hope. Their "murder burgers" will be obsolete.
Impossible Burger is a murder burger too. They tested it on animals, then slaughtered them to examine their organs.
Thank you Ellen for making me aware, never heard of this company and did not research. Guess this means we have to become more vigilant to all new things that keep popping up. This compamy should be sued for labeling their products as "Vegan".
