Cultured Decadence

Ultimately, our goal is to cultivate any meat product that your tastebuds desire. Our products aren’t vegan or vegetarian—we make meat directly from animal cells. Chicken is a crowd-pleaser (and we understand why). While our chicken filet is our first product to market, we’ve got more in the works — breakfast sausages, chicken patties, and other flavorful recipes. As our first product is currently only sold in restaurants, our USDA-approved label is simple. It contains 1) the name of the product: “Formed Cell-cultivated Chicken,” 2) the ingredient line, and 3) safe handling instructions for the product (which are the same as those of conventional chicken). Maltodextrin is a common food ingredient that can be made from a variety of starches like corn, wheat, rice, and tapioca. Transglutaminase is an enzyme that is often used in food production to bind proteins together.
