In London, cultivated meat company Meatly has produced the world’s first can of cultivated cat food.
Made in collaboration with Omni, a novel protein pet food company also located in the UK, the development is a significant step in Meatly’s B2B plans.
Once granted regulatory approval, Meatly expects pet food made from cultivated meat to be available across the UK. Early Meatly investor Pets at Home plans to be the first retailer.
“As demand continues to grow, with pet food already accounting for 20% of meat produced globally, so too does the industry’s environmental impact,” Owen Ensor, Co-founder and CEO of Meatly, said. “Cultivated meat gives pet parents an easy choice – high quality, tasty, nutritious, and sustainable pet food.”
