On Brazil the Burger King it's not using Impossible Foods's burger but the "meat" vegan burger from a company here called Fazenda Futuro (Future Farmer - transalated to english).
The science always said "veggie meat" it's less expensive. But in reality of bussiness and markets, all quality vegan replacers for meat are more costly. The Missouri university projet, aquired by Beyound Mea,t to produce quality great chicken texture of extruded soy protein isolated, said in early news reports that the veggie "chicken" would allow quality textured yummy "meat" for lower price than real chicken meat. But Beyound Chicken it's more costly, and I bet it will keep this way for a long time.
They will not make the veggie burger cheaper or even equal in price, since they pay more for buy the veggie paty from the veggie meat company that supply it for fast foods restaurants.
On USA I heard the veggie whopper was a little bit more expensive.
What is the price of textured pea protein on USA?
On Brazil I think extruded (textured) pea protein it's only imported, and not produced here, since it cost about 10 times more than soy textured protein. The weird thing is that, still on Brazil, the pea protein isolated it's not so much more expensive than soy protein isolated.
Textured protein it's like a sponge (after let in boiling water ), while isolated protein it's a powder.
