I did see an impossible meatloaf in a grocery store, and it looks like their website is showing ground beef. So it looks like they are slowly branching out into other products.

Impossible is not currently available directly to consumers. They do not make a meatloaf - it is possible the grocery store bought the raw product and is selling their own meatloaf.

That, or they saw the "Beyond Burger" being used in a similar manner.

Beyond seems to be moving into that space, and Impossible is giving them the moment. Whether (or if) Impossible can recapture that market segment remains to be seen.

Possible but seems pretty unlikely. Also, I don't think they'd be allowed to use Impossible's trademark in that case.

I feel like the GP must be misremembering.

https://www.facebook.com/molliestonesmarkets/photos/a.764954... I've also heard that Impossible sells the burger meat to restaurants unshaped, so my guess is that they are just using that to make meatloaf.

Edit: the meatloaf was served by the deli premade, it wasn't sold individually packaged.
