The new funding will help GOOD Meat increase capacity and accelerate research and development for high-quality, real meat without slaughter. Cultured meat is created directly from animal cells, safe for human consumption. The meat is high in protein and essential amino acids, without GMOs or antibiotics, and is low in saturated fats.
"There is significant interest in and growth potential for cultured meat, pending regulatory approval from more government regulators globally," Morris said. "GOOD Meat offers a humane, safe product that is designed to feed the planet without the plethora of negative externalities associated with traditional factory farming."
GOOD Meat cultured chicken made history in 2020 for being the first cultured meat product sold to customers at a Singapore restaurant. Since that time, it has been available in a limited capacity on foodpanda, Asia's leading food and grocery delivery platform.
"GOOD Meat has the potential to radically disrupt current animal protein processes. The old model has a massive carbon footprint and consumes large amounts of water, land, and other resources while exposing the world to potential zoonotic diseases," added Morris. "We are excited to continue to be a part of the Eat JUST story and its impact on our food systems."
