Cultivated meat

In the rapidly evolving field of cellular agriculture, the pursuit of cultivating meat without animal slaughter has spurred groundbreaking innovations in tissue engineering. Among the pioneering approaches gaining traction is the scaffold-free technique of cell sheet technology, a method that circumvents some of the inherent limitations posed by traditional scaffolding materials. This approach hinges upon […]

Developing new cell lines takes time and money, two things the cultivated meat space sorely lacks, says The Good Food Institute (GFI). The post Exclusive: Open-source moment for cultivated meat as GFI releases SCiFi Foods’ cell lines to academia appeared first on AgFunderNews.

“For our growth factors, we don’t need hundreds of companies to succeed, just a handful reaching commercial scale will drive strong demand," says CEO Berglind Rán Ólafsdóttir.

Vegetarian patties like Beyond Burger’s would also be hit by the restrictions. | Photo by Angela Weiss/AFP via Getty Images This week the EU Parliament voted in favor of an amendment that would ban vegetarian and vegan products from using terms including “burger” and “sausage.” But the proposed ban goes further than that, and would also prevent cell-cultured meat — a.k.a. lab-grown — from using the same terms. The regulation, passed by lawmakers 355 to 247, still needs to get past the EU Commission and member state governments before it becomes law. But if it does, it requires that terms including “steak,” “burger,” “sausage,” and even “egg white” be “reserved exclusively for products containing meat.” That’s a non-exhaustive list, and the legislation is intended to cover all names currently used for meat products. But the bill is also

Last week, a legal battle over lab-grown meat kicked off in Texas. On September 1, a two-year ban on the technology went into effect across the state; the following day, two companies filed a lawsuit against state officials. The two companies, Wildtype Foods and Upside Foods, are part of a growing industry that aims to…

The Institute for Justice and cultivated food producers are suing Texas over a new law prohibiting lab-grown meat sales in stores and restaurants through Sept. 2027.

AUSTIN, Texas — Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller celebrated that Texas officially became the seventh state in the nation to ban the sale and production of lab-grown meat. The legislation, recently signed by Governor Greg Abbott, is now set to take effect on September 1, 2025. The measure will ban the sale of cell-cultured protein products […] The post Commissioner Miller Praises Texas Legislature for Putting a Fork in Lab-Grown Meat appeared first on Morning Ag Clips.

Do dishes made of algae or insects have a chance of finding a place on our tables as alternative protein food (APF) choices? Why are some consumers open to this change, while others remain cautious? An international group of researchers, including scientists from SWPS University, analyzed hundreds of studies to investigate this issue.

Around the world, the demand for meat is growing, despite associated environmental and animal welfare costs. Although lab-grown—or cultured—meat could be part of the answer, scientists have yet to perfect one crucial detail: the taste.

North Jeolla Province signed a memorandum of understanding with the Embassy of the Netherlands in Seoul on Tuesday to collaborate on developing alternative proteins, a move aimed at strengthening bilateral cooperation in the growing food-tech sector. The agreement was signed at the North Jeolla provincial government office during Dutch Ambassador to Korea Peter van der Vliet’s first official visit to the province since assuming his post. Under the agreement, the two sides will conduct a joint analysis of the alternative protein industry, promote exchanges between delegations, foster partnerships between companies and research institutes and explore joint participation in “Horizon Europe” — the European Union’s largest multinational research and innovation program. Alternative proteins, derived from sources such as soy, wheat and yeast, are considered a sustainable solution to the environmental challenges posed by conventional meat production. Provincial officials expressed hope that

Lab-grown meat causes heated debates. Proponents see benefits for the climate and animal welfare. Opponents worry about a Frankenstein food they regard as risky and unnatural. Whatever your opinion, the technology underpinning cultivated meat is moving fast to create large pieces of muscle tissue.

The stretch of Interstate 5 that runs through the heart of California’s sunbaked Central Valley would be forgettable if not for the stench of manure. Cattle ranches, some tightly packed with livestock, sprawl to the horizon.
