Upside has already taken its first restaurant order and will provide limited quantities to Bar Crenn in San Francisco, while Good Meat has a partnership<\/a> with a restaurant in Washington, D.C. run by chef and owner Jose Andr\u00e9s.<\/p>\n Today\u2019s approval follows one by the U.S. Department of Agriculture last week that approved the way both companies were going to label their products.<\/p>\n Both companies also received a grant of inspection from the USDA, Upside for its Engineering, Production, and Innovation Center, and Good Meat for its demonstration plant in Alameda, along with its contract manufacturing partner, JOINN Biologics. The inspection process includes examination of facilities and equipment; standard operating procedure for sanitation; and the systematic approach to identification, evaluation and control of food safety hazards, according to Good Meat.<\/p>\n Prior to today, Singapore was the only country allowing sales of cultivated chicken. Good Meat was the first company to get approval to sell its cultivated chicken product there and received a U.S. Food and Drug Administration clearance in March, joining Upside Foods<\/a>, as the only two companies to move to that next stage of commercializing their products in the U.S.<\/p>\n Cultivated meat is a complex process<\/a> that traditionally is expensive and takes time. There\u2019s also consumer tastes involved. In addition to Singapore and the U.S., some regions, like the United Kingdom, are supporting this industry, while others, for example, Italy, are questioning it<\/a>.<\/p>\n Globally, there are dozens of companies not far behind in getting cultivated, or cell-cultured, meat<\/a> products on the market, and following today\u2019s announcement, we will likely see more companies fast-track their products through the regulatory process. In the U.S., companies have to receive approval from both the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and USDA before commercializing their products<\/a> in this country.<\/p>\n Despite the challenges, some venture capitalists investing in the space remain confident. SOSV\/IndieBio general partner Po Bronson said via email that the new approvals were \u201cgreat for the cell-cultivated meat sector.\u201d He explained that much of the \u201ccell-cultivated products coming to market are hybrid products\u201d and that \u201cas cell-cultivated meat grows, this will shape and alter the alternative protein sector, impacting who aggregates and who gets aggregated, where only companies with genuine technological advancements will survive and become part of the larger supply chain. Needless to say, the days of just buying some pea protein, an extruder, some vegetable oil and some methylcellulose \u2014 and hoping to print money \u2014 are long gone.\u201d<\/p>\n He also noted that the cultivated meat industry is shifting, and it will be difficult for new startups to compete against early companies that have scaled, saying, \u201cWe\u2019ve seen some acquisitions but not high value ones. More money will flow, absolutely, but only to companies who can demonstrate their technology is meaningfully different and not imitative or interchangeable. Those are the companies to watch.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nWe\u2019ve officially entered a new era of \u2018cultivated\u2019 meat production<\/br>
