Did your friend get unwell too?
I have been ill from impossible burger and impossible meat. Food poisoning like symptoms, and then bloated for a couple of days more.
The first time I had an Impossible Burger, I was SOOO sick, my stomach felt like it would explode from bloating, but I didn't know the cause. I ended up being taken to the ER by ambulance and having projectile vomiting in the ambulance. The ER dr just said I had gastritis, but didn't link it to the burger. So about 4 months later, I ventured to eat another one. This time I did not have vomiting, but again the SEVERE, painful bloating and nausea. I was sure it was the burger this time, because I have never been allergic to any other food in my life. I don't have any reaction like this to any other form of veggie burger (not even Beyond, which is another "almost like real meat" burger). The only thing I can think is that I am allergic to the heme they use, because there is nothing else in it that I have ever been allergic to. To Impossible's credit, when I brought it to their attention they had their staff doctor call me to thoroughly interview me about my allergy history etc., so they did take it very seriously.

My son had the same reaction. I wish I had know about this prior to trying it.
