The world’s 3 largest meat companies & 2 largest food companies are investing in plant-based/ #cultivatedmeat. #JBS has invested $100M in a cultivated meat division in Brazil & bought the VegetarianButchercompany in 2025. Cultivated meat is expensive, but over time it will reach taste/price parity

Humans have eaten meat for many years; they have farmed animals for at least 12K years. They eat more meat every year, even as the world sustains increasing damage from the process. What is the alternative? The solution? #Cultivatedmeat offers alternative proteins & protects the environment.

UK Food Regulator Tests Cultivated Meat Products for Safety Before Public Release Lab-grown foie gras and chicken are undergoing safety evaluations in the UK, potentially bringing these 'cultivated meat' products to restaurants and households within the next five years, according to the Food Standards Agency (FSA). The initiative marks the closest such foods have come to approval for human consumption in the UK. Beyond meat, other innovative foods such as edible insects, 3D-printed chocolate, vitamin-enhanced vegetables, and lab-brewed cheese could become widely available in the next 15 years. The FSA has been given £1.6 million by the government to accelerate the assessment process in response to industry concerns about slow approval timelines. Experts highlight the potential benefits of cultivated meats, including reduced environmental impact, job creation, and increased food resilience. Challenges remain in scaling production, ensuring consumer acceptance, and addressing cost and farming impacts. Cultivated meat is produced by growing animal or plant cells in a lab until they form muscle tissue, while insects are already entering the market in limited forms and are being assessed for allergen and safety concerns. Future technologies may include plant-based ingredient production and gas fermentation converting carbon dioxide into protein. Clear labeling and communication are emphasized to maintain public trust in these novel foods.

Fermentation vs lab grown meat pros and cons Have you ever walked through the grocery store and noticed labels like "animal-free dairy" or "cultivated chicken"? If you feel a bit confused, you aren't alone. In the USA and Europe, the way we make food is changing faster than ever. ​As a food technology expert, I see these changes every day in the lab. Two big technologies are leading the way: …

The first lab-grown burger cost $330,000 to make.
Now two companies have FDA approval to sell it.
But Europe hasn't approved a single one yet.
Here's the full breakdown — fermentation vs lab-grown meat, 👇
