The brief
- FDA clearance March 2025, first US approval for cultivated meat ingredients.
- Products: meatballs and bacon blending Mission Fat with plant proteins.
- Uses pharma-grade bioreactors to grow pork fat cells, then blends with plant protein.
Technical approach
Cell Culture
Pharmaceutical-grade bioreactors
Bioreactors from pharmaceutical production repurposed to grow pork fat cells at scale with proven biotech infrastructure.
Hybrid Products
Cultivated fat plus plant protein
Combines cultivated pork fat with pea, wheat, fava bean and flax seed proteins, lowering costs while matching conventional meat texture and flavor.
Product Range
Multiple protein formats
Produces meatballs, bacon, pepperoni, chorizo and sausage by varying plant protein bases and seasoning from the same cell line.
