What is Cultivated Meat?

Cultivated meat is real meat produced from animal cells, without the need to raise and slaughter animals. It's created in a controlled environment, similar to how beer or yogurt is made in a vat.

How is Cultivated Meat Made?

We start by taking a small sample of animal cells and feeding them nutrients. These cells naturally multiply and grow, forming meat. This process takes place in a bioreactor, an environment that provides the right conditions for growth.

Is Cultivated Meat Safe to Eat?

Absolutely! It undergoes the same safety checks as all other food products. Plus, since it's made in a controlled environment, there's less risk of contamination from bacteria like E. coli or Salmonella.

Does Cultivated Meat Taste Like Regular Meat?

Yes, it does. Because it's made from real animal cells, it has the same taste, texture, and mouthfeel as the meat you're used to.

Is Cultivated Meat Better for the Environment?

Definitely. It requires significantly less land, water, and produces lower greenhouse gas emissions compared to traditional animal farming.

Are Animals Harmed in the Making of Cultivated Meat?

No. Our process only requires a small cell sample from animals, which can be obtained in a harmless way. No animals are slaughtered to produce our meat.

Can People with Dietary Restrictions Eat Cultivated Meat?

It depends on the specific dietary restrictions. For instance, vegetarians who avoid meat for ethical reasons might consider it. However, it's still real animal meat, so it might not be suitable for everyone's dietary needs.

How Long Does It Take to Produce Cultivated Meat?

It varies, but it's generally faster than raising animals for meat. It can take from a week to a few months, depending on the type of meat.
