Two companies that have meatless meat
https://impossiblefoods.com/ (who make the Impossible Whopper)
This company has been around since 2011 (privately held). We have two local restaurants that have been serving Impossible meatless burgers for more than two years. The makeup of the meat is patented.

This company is public and trades on the NASDAQ

I've had both of their offerings and I can tell you that they taste like meat, but the texture is still not there...
I suspect that Burger King / Hungry Jacks licensed meats from their respective countries. When I get a chance to get back to Australia, I'll have to do a comparison....
