In the Netherlands, Meatable has reached an important milestone in its efforts to produce cultivated meat at scale—the transformation of pluripotent stem cells into high quality fat and muscle tissue in just four days. The milestone eclipses the previous record of 8 days and, according to Meatable, is faster than anyone else in the cultivated meat industry.
This “cell-to-sausage” breakthrough was achieved using Meatable’s Opti-Ox technology and will also enable Meatable to produce lab-grown meat at lower cost than competitors.
“This is truly a remarkable moment for Meatable and the cultivated meat industry as a whole, as we just made the fastest process in the industry that much faster,” said Daan Luining, Co-founder and CTO of Meatable. “Achieving the ability to produce cultivated meat at scale and efficiency has been our goal from day one, and this step moves us significantly forward in fulfilling our promise. Meatable remains intensely focused on providing the world with a real meat solution without harming animals or the environment, and I’m proud to say that the reduction in cell differentiation time puts us on path to delivering our products cost efficient at scale.”
Meatable aims to reach mass market with an expected restaurant launch later this year.
