Europe is embracing lab grown meat.
What’s happening:
- Dutch cultivated meat startup Meatable has hosted the first ever legally approved lab grown meat tasting in Europe
The big idea:
- Meatable has developed a cell cultivated pork sausage that is biologically identical to traditional meat, but is produced without harming any animals
Why it matters:
- Cell cultivated meat has been rapidly accelerating due to recent regulatory approvals for human consumption across the United States, Singapore and Israel
- Venture capital has also continued to pour into lab grown meat startups, including a notable recent large funding round for Mosa Meat to ramp up production of their cultivated beef burgers which are getting ready to officially launch in Singapore
Going deeper:
- Meatable recently received regulatory approval around their product safety from a third party committee sanctioned by the Dutch government
The intrigue:
- Amongst the first individuals to sample Meatable’s lab grown meat at their European tasting was Michelin starred chef Ron Blaauw
