Fiorella, a leading Italian restaurant group in the San Francisco Area, will be Mission Barns’ first restaurant launch partner. The company also plans to sell in retail starting at a national supermarket chain, which will become the first grocery store in the US to sell cultivated meat.
“Food security and the health of our food system is a big challenge we are tackling at Mission Barns. We are expecting 1.7 billion more humans on our planet in the next 25 years and we need to innovate in order to find more efficient ways to produce delicious food products to feed the world. First and foremost, consumers won’t eat food that isn’t absolutely delicious—which is why we chose to pursue a fat-first approach,” said Eitan Fischer, founder and CEO of Mission Barns.
Mission Barns is the first company in the world to receive regulatory clearance for cell-cultivated pork fat.
