Meatable cuts cultivated meat production time down to four days
Meatable’s process is approximately 60 times faster than the time it takes for farmers to rear a pig for pork and significantly faster than other cultivated meat processes.
Food-tech company Meatable has reached a milestone in its efforts to produce cultivated meat at scale. Meatable is now able to transform pluripotent stem cells into high-quality fat and muscle tissue in a record four days, down from eight days, a faster process than any in the industry. This breakthrough will enable the company to produce cultivated meat significantly faster and at lower costs than industry norms, and is therefore an important step toward the commercialization of Meatable’s technology and large-scale production of cultivated meat products more broadly.
The breakthrough, using Meatable’s core patented Opti-Ox technology, confronts the challenges faced by the cultivated meat industry to produce product fast and efficiently in order to scale to commercial levels. With its process enabling movement from “cell-to-sausage” in four days, Meatable can produce high-quality cultivated meat at a significantly reduced cost. By reducing cell differentiation time in half, Meatable’s process now requires nearly half as many bioreactors at scale, cutting CAPEX costs and enabling a more efficient use of production space. By utilizing less labor, energy, infrastructure, ingredients and water, Meatable’s process has become more scalable and cost efficient, as well as more sustainable for the world’s environment.
