Cultivated meat products offer the potential to provide an alternative, complementary method to traditional meat farming, to keep up with the growing global food / protein demand.
The cultivated meat industry is at the stage where processes are being tested and validated, but scaling up the technology at a practical cost is a key challenge. That’s where our recent Innovate UK funded project with Cellular Agriculture Ltd comes in.
In this collaboration, we tested a Cellular Agriculture Ltd prototype bioreactor in our new cell culture lab, and provided feedback to guide the optimisation required to develop technology to produce cultivated meat that is safe, compliant, scalable and ready for real-world food production.
Read our new blog to find out more about this scale-up project, as well as considerations for regulatory, consumer acceptance and product formulation challenges.
To cultivated meat projects, we can bring our unique combination of knowledge in food innovation, process engineering, food safety, nutritional and microbiological analysis, and regulatory frameworks.
The technology developed through Cellular Agriculture Ltd’s collaboration with us has the potential to transform the cultivated meat industry by providing a scalable, sustainable solution that addresses existing production challenges.
To continue this journey, we invite innovators and manufacturers to get involved – we are keen to collaborate, identify your specific needs, and help get your cultivated meat innovations ready for real-world food production. Get in touch to explore this further.
