Cell-based protein for your pup? Cultivated meat companies see large potential market in pet food

The pet food market is becoming a target for cultivated meat; a small number of lab meat producers are targeting the sector, attracted by its volume growth, and commercial potential.

Czech Republic-based Bene Meat Technologies is aiming to supply the EU pet food market, with it securing acceptance in the European Feed Materials Register​​ in November last year.

Bene Meat is currently looking to run a long-term feeding trial to prove the safety credentials of its lab-grown meat. This will be conducted while it sets about building its first production facility, which it hopes to open by the end of the year.
