In this episode, we sit down with food policy expert Michele Champagne to dive into the controversy surrounding Impossible Foods and the animal testing they conducted back in 2017. Michele helps us unpack what happened and whether the testing was required by law.

Be sure to join us in two weeks for the second part of this episode, as we share our thoughts on the issue, examine Impossible Foods' justification, and take a closer look at other companies that have been involved in similar situations.
