Impossible Foods Inc., the maker of meatless burgers and sausages, is preparing to cut about 20% of its staff, according to a person familiar with the matter. 

The Redwood City, California-based company currently employs about 700 workers. The new round of dismissals could reduce that amount by more than 100.
