Aleph Farms has moved into its new 65,000 square foot facility, signaling new momentum for commercialized cell-based meat.
UPSIDE Foods’ cell media – the nutrient-rich broth it uses to feed cells that will turn into cell-cultured or cultivated meat – is now 100% ‘animal component free,’ says the California-based firm, which described the milestone as a “biological breakthrough.”
Comments submitted to USDA over how best to label meat and poultry made from animal cells grown outside of animals reflect the challenge facing US regulators as they seek to nail down nomenclature in this nascent market as startups in the space edge closer to commercialization.
Six weeks after the publication of an article arguing that cell-cultured meat faces “intractable technical challenges at food scale,” industry pioneer UPSIDE Foods has opened what it claims is the “most advanced cultivated meat production facility in the world” in Emeryville, California, and insists that growing meat from animal cells – outside of an animal - is “not only viable, but inevitable.”
The USDA announced that it will grant $10 million to Tufts University to help develop the National Insitute for Cellular Agriculture.
