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
