Farther down in another comment, I point out to another user that the ingredients of Impossible beef are quite mundane and not at all concerning. Here’s the ingredients list for Impossible Chicken nuggets:
None of those jump out as particularly unhealthy or dangerous to me. The Soybean oil probably isn’t the best for you due to not being expeller pressed, but otherwise, nothing that would kill you.
Methyl cellulose is also used in; laxatives, artificial tears, ice cream, toothpaste, pill capsules.
It’s non-toxic and non-allergic.
It does happen to be useful as a binder in glues, but that doesn’t seem a useful metric as to its safety. In comparison the same shellac I use to seal wood is also used to coat candy.

I normally use methylcellulose to glue wallpaper to the wall.
But apart from that, a surprisingly clean list for such a product.
