The press release stated that “Czech start-up Bene Meat Technologies has won the first European Union registration for laboratory-grown meat for use in pet food and plans to ramp up production to produce up to several metric tons per day in the next year, the company said Wednesday.“
The company says pet foods containing lab-grown meats are “sell around the price level of premium and super-premium pet food products in the market.”
“Bene Meat next plans to test how the product tastes on animals, while ramping up production at its current lab in Prague and at the new site it is looking for.”
“The company is in talks with pet food makers on supplies, but also intends to work with them to potentially set up production lines at their existing facilities. It also plans to develop its own brand of final pet food products.”
Lab-grown meat in pet food is not approved (yet) in the US. However, our guess is that, with EU approval – the FDA will soon follow with approval here. So…would you buy pet food that contains lab-grown meat?
Wishing you and your pet(s) the best,
