Italy is moving to ban the country’s food industry from producing cell-based foods in a bid to “protect culinary heritage.”
Extracellular, a UK-based contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) in the cultivated meat space, secured $1.2 million, including $700K in non-dilutive funding according to the company.
