Upside Foods, a cultivated meat, poultry and seafood company, is announcing a new range of consumer products made from real animal cells. Pending regulatory review, these cultivated ground meat products will broaden Upside's commercial portfolio to include a range of options such as chicken sausages, chicken sandwiches and dumplings. In addition, Upside announced that it has developed a breakthrough chicken cell line for use in suspension cell culture that could substantially reduce the cost of production for these ground meat products.
Upside Foods has been committed to developing a diverse range of products since its founding in 2015, with the ultimate goal of providing consumers with meat in a new and better way. This includes the development of both whole-textured products, such as chicken filets, and ground meat products with simpler textures that can be scaled up quickly and at a lower cost. The company will initially be launching at a small scale with its cultivated chicken filet, followed by this next generation of products.
