Behold the world's first industrial cultured meat facility!
Future Meat Technologies announced the opening of its industrial cultured meat facility in Rehovot, Israel. The plant, which is already able to produce lamb, chicken, and pork products without using any genetic modification or animal serum, is gearing up to produce 1,100 lbs (500 kg) of beef - enough for 5,000 burgers - every day.
"After demonstrating that cultured meat can reach cost parity faster than the market anticipated, this production facility is the real game-changer," says Prof. Yaakov Nahmias, founder and chief scientific officer of Future Meat Technologies. "This facility demonstrates our proprietary media rejuvenation technology in scale, allowing us to reach production densities 10-times higher than the industrial standard. Our goal is to make cultured meat affordable for everyone, while ensuring we produce delicious food that is both healthy and sustainable, helping to secure the future of coming generations."
