Dutch startup<\/a> <\/span>Meatable<\/span> has hosted the first legally approved tasting of cultivated meat in Europe.<\/span><\/p>\n

On the menu was a lab-grown pork sausage. Meatable says the produce is \u201cindistinguishable\u201d from traditional meat, but causes no harm to animals or the environment.<\/span><\/p>\n

To replicate the flavours and textures of livestock, Meatable first extracts a single cell sample from a pig. The sample is then cultivated in a bioreactor. Over time, the sample multiplies and forms real muscle tissue, which is shaped into a familiar meat form.<\/span><\/p>\n

In Europe, however, no one was previously allowed to eat the output. That changed when the Dutch government gave Meatable<\/a> the rubber stamp.<\/p>\n

The inaugural tasting took place at the company\u2019s headquarters in Leiden. Among the diners were Dutch prince Constantijn van Oranje, Michelin-starred chef Ron Blaauw, and entrepreneur Ira van Eelen, whose father Willem filed the first patent<\/a> for cultivated meat.<\/span><\/p>\n

Their reaction \u201cwas really positive,\u201d said Meatable co-founder and <\/span>CTO Krijn de Nood.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will be liaising with the tasters from today to understand their feedback,\u201d he told TNW.<\/span><\/p>\n

That feedback will inform the future product development. It will also contribute to Meatable\u2019s application to sell the sausages in the EU. But the first target market is Singapore.<\/p>\n

The cultivated meat market<\/h2>\n

Meatable plans to launch its pork products next year in Singapore. The country wants cultivated meat to reduce its reliance on imports, which comprise 90% of its current food supplies. In 2020, the city-state issue<\/span>d the world\u2019s first approval for sales of lab-grown meat.<\/span><\/p>\n

The next target for Meatable is the US, which last year became the second country<\/a> to permit the sales.<\/span><\/p>\n

Europe has been slower to embrace the produce. But the event in Leiden suggests support for cultivated meat is growing.<\/p>\n

According to de Nood, the tasting was \u201can important first step\u201d towards the market. But did the flavours live up to the hype?<\/p>\n

\u201cIt tasted just like meaty sausages do!\u201d de Nood said.<\/p>\n

If all goes to plan, those sausages could be a mere entree on the menu. A German startup wants to offer lab-grown fish<\/a> as a main course. We can only imagine what\u2019s cultivating for dessert.<\/p>\n
